“…El desayuno posee un papel básico en el óptimo desarrollo de las etapas de crecimiento infantil, adolescente y juvenil, asociándose a un mayor rendimiento físico e intelectual y por lo tanto académico (Sánchez y Serra, 2000;Cór-doba et al, 2014), por el contario saltarse el desayuno afecta a la memoria reciente, a la atención, a la capacidad de resolver problemas, sin olvidar los problemas emocionales (Vaisman et al, 1996;Wesnes et al, 2003;Galiano y Moreno, 2010).…”

Resumen: El Desayuno Completo y Saludable es básico para el crecimiento además favorece un mayor rendimiento físico e intelectual durante la mañana. Dicho Desayuno debe ser siempre: Lácteos, Cereales, Frutas y sus derivados, sin olvidarnos de nuestro Aceite de Oliva. Saltarse o realizar un desayuno de mala calidad es un factor que, además, origina sobrepeso y obesidad infantil. Por ello las Organizaciones Promotoras de la Salud fomentan la intervención de hábitos saludables en Alimentación y Nutrición. Siendo uno de los objetivos este Desayuno Completo y Saludable el cual desde la escuela debe promocionarse, sobre todo fomentando la ingesta de fruta. En base a lo expuesto nuestro trabajo diseña una intervención escolar para un Desayuno Completo y Saludable, centrada en el consumo de fruta.Palabras clave: Desayuno, escuela, nutrición, educación y salud. Abstract:The Complete and Healthy Breakfast is basic for growth also favors greater physical and intellectual performance during the morning. Breakfast should always said: Dairy, Grains, Fruit, and their derivates, without forgetting our olive oil. Or to perform skipping breakfast shoddy is a factor that also causes childhood obesity and overweight. Therefore Organizations Promoting Health intervention encourage healthy habits in Food and Nutrition. Being one of the goals this Complete and Healthy Breakfast from school which should be promoted, especially by encouraging the consumption of fruit. Based on the above our work designs a school intervention for a Complete and Healthy Breakfast, centered on the consumption of fruit.

“…The plethora of studies investigating the effects of breakfast on cognitive function (CF) support the hypothesis that skipping breakfast adversely affects cognition, and that the brain is thus vulnerable to brief fasting (Pollitt et al, 1981(Pollitt et al, , 1982Conners and Blouin, 1982;Simeon and Grantham-McGregor, 1989;Chandler et al, 1995;Vaisman et al, 1996;Benton and Parker, 1998;Smith et al, 1999;Wesnes et al, 2003;Mahoney et al, 2005). Despite the wealth of studies that have been conducted in this area, the macronutrient composition of breakfast that could selectively facilitate CF after an overnight fast is not well established.…”

The glycaemic potency of breakfast and cognitive function in school children

2010

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess how the glycaemic potency (blood glucose (BG)-raising potential) of breakfast is associated with cognitive function (CF) in school children, taking into account important confounders, including iron status, underlying physiological adaptations and socio-economic status. Methods: Sixty children aged 11-14 years were selected on the basis of having breakfast habitually. Their breakfast and any snacks eaten on the morning of the study were recorded. They were categorized into four groups according to the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of the breakfast: low-GI, high-GL; high-GI, high-GL; low-GI, low-GL and high-GI, low-GL above or below the median for GI ¼ 61 and GL ¼ 27. BG levels were measured in finger-prick blood samples immediately before and immediately after the CF tests. Results: A low-GI, high-GL breakfast was associated with better performance on a speed of information processing (Po0.01) and a serial sevens (Po0.001) task 90 min later; a high-GI breakfast with better performance on an immediate word recall task (Po0.01); and a high-GL breakfast with better performance on a Matrices task (Po0.01). Conclusions: GI, GL or both were associated with performance on the majority of the CF tests (4 of 7) used. This study describes the macronutrient composition of breakfast that could have a positive influence on the cognition of school children, proposes the use of both GI and GL to estimate exposure, and discusses future directions in this area of research.

“…Consumption of breakfast has traditionally been linked to a range of positive outcomes, especially related to cognitive performance and improved nutrient intake patterns (Vaisman et al, 1996;Pollitt et al, 1981;Smith et al, 1994;Nicklas et al, 1998;Pollitt & Mathews, 1998). Having breakfast is also a healthy habit with beneficial effects on physical health.…”

Family resemblance in breakfast energy intake: the Stanislas Family Study

et al. 2002

Background: There seems to be a consensus that family influences on dietary habits are important. However, no data relative to breakfast have been published yet. Objective: To investigate whether and how breakfast energy intake aggregates within French families. Design: A total of 398 families of the Stanislas Family Study who filled in a 3 day food consumption diary were selected. Absolute and relative breakfast energy intakes (BEI in kcal=day and RBEI in percentage of daily intake, respectively) were both studied. Results: By using a variance component analysis, no genetic influence was shown in family aggregation of both BEI and RBEI. Intra-generation common environmental contribution to total phenotypic variance of BEI and RBEI was higher than intergeneration; both were increased with frequency of sharing breakfast. Furthermore frequency of sharing breakfast contributed to increase family resemblance in breakfast energy intake, particularly in offspring for BEI and RBEI, and in spouses for RBEI. Smoking habits, alcohol consumption, BMI or physical activity were related to family resemblance, but after adjustment on each factor degrees of resemblance were almost unchanged. Conclusion: General findings of this study were that family aggregation in breakfast absolute and relative energy intakes was significant within Stanislas families. Family resemblance depended on inter-and intra-generation components and was modified by the number of shared breakfasts. Our study confirmed that familial habits act on family resemblance in both absolute and relative breakfast energy intakes, so that family should be a favorite unit for health and diet promotion programs.
