When things get wildly busy in the morning, some people skip breakfast to save time. But that may be a big mistake for students. Whether at home, on the way to school or at school, eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades. That is the finding of a 2015 study from Cardiff University in Wales. Researchers there looked at 5000 9-11 year-olds from more than 100 primary schools in the U.K. They looked at what the students ate for breakfast and then their grades six to 18 months later. They found that the students who ate a healthy breakfast were twice as likely to perform above average in educational activities. The researchers also found that unhealthy breakfasts, such as potato chips or a donut, did not appear helpful to educational performance.
