    Bites from the Dietician

    We love to hear from our readers! Are there nutrition questions you have or subjects related to nutrition you would like to learn more about? Email your questions, suggestions, and inquiries to Dining@salisbury.edu for publication in our next issue of The Zest.

    Breakfast provides an awesome start to our day. We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. “ Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper” – I believe that line is attributed to Adele Davis. This is the opposite of what most Americans do and is not practical for many of us.

     

    Eating in the morning, or within two hours of waking, has value, especially for college students who tend to put self-care toward the bottom of the to-do list. Breakfast is often skipped or taken on the fly. This has some detrimental effects though. It interferes with attention and concentration. It can lead to grumpiness, poor food choices and overeating later in the day due to hunger. Skipping breakfast may lead to nutrient insufficiencies and contribute to mild dehydration, which also affects learning and mood. What are my options at SU?

    But what should I eat?

     

    A healthy breakfast should keep you full and be balanced with color from fruits, vegetables, grains, vitamins and the ever important phytonutrients.
