Start your day with plain yogurt
The food you eat in the morning influences your energy levels and mood throughout the day. We often drink coffee first thing in the morning. This can have a negative impact on your overall health. Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal said in an Instagram video that you shouldn’t start your day with sugar or foods that quickly turn into sugar. She strictly advises avoiding cereals, packaged fruit juices, or sugar-based packaged foods. She explains that children are typically given packaged ready-to-eat foods, biscuits, nut butters, or packaged juices. These foods affect brain function throughout the day and reduce concentration. Therefore, it is wise to choose healthy food options at the beginning of the day.
Breakfast options for kids

You can combine different types of nuts that are unfried and unsalted.
