I. ATTENTION

A. Attention-Getting Statement: Ever wondered why our parents or guardians ushered our

wake up hungry? Worry no more, I will take you through as to why taking breakfast is the best

thing for healthy living.

substantial research that would support the fact that breakfast is the most important meal.

of starting off the day with some energy since breakfast ought to be the source of the body

energy required to steer individuals throughout their daily routines.

D. Preview of main points: I will discuss on the challenges associated with not taking breakfast

and explaining how these challenges can be addressed by ensuring that before individual can

embark on their daily routines they need to have a breakfast meal.

(Signpost)First, I will commence by discussing the reasons why not taking breakfast meal is a risky

behavior.

II. PROBLEM / NEED

(Including reference to research)

A. Skipping breakfast meal especially among the young children has been linked with obesity.

According to Daniels (2012), failing to take breakfast in the morning led to serious metabolic

implications. For instance, fasting blood glucose and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

B. Moreover, for those children as well as adolescents who skipped the breakfast meals reported

cases of too much intake of calories later in the day thus promoting the likelihood of becoming

obese.

C. According to Spence (2017) a study carried out by Cahill et al. in 2013 suggest that

approximately 27% of individual males in North America who failed to have a meal at the start

of the day suffered from coronary heart disease.

D. Jackson-Michel (2017) notes that failing to take meal at the start of the day has negative effects

on the cognitive abilities among individuals. Reports have indicated that having breakfast meal

ensures improved cognitive ability during the day.

(Transition)Having noted different effects of skipping breakfast meal, it is important to note the

important of taking healthy breakfast meal as well.

III. SATISFACTION / SOLUTION

A. According to Adolphus, Lawton, and Dye (2013) implementing habitual breakfast meal among

the students increased their academic performance.Notably, the study focused on both the

nourished and undernourished students whereby the findings noted improved academic

performance for both cases.

B. Spence (2017) notes that by having a well-balanced breakfast meal in the meaning will ensure

that the body is supplied with energy during the day. This ensures that individuals are productive

as well as enhancing the mental wellbeing of the individual.

C. It is important to note that, it is not about taking breakfast in the morning but ensuring that

whatever an individual take contains balance diet. Having a balanced diet breakfast meal would

ensure that the critical the body acquires different components that helps in keeping the body

healthy.

D. Ensuring that we take well-balanced breakfast meals then we will overcome challenges such as

threats associated with heart diseases and obesity. Besides it is important to note that having

well-balanced meal at the beginning of the day lowers the risks of getting diabetes. All this is

according to the University Health News article that contains advices from the leading

universities and medical centers in the US.

(Transition)After learning both the negative implications of failing to take a breakfast meal and

also the benefits associated with taking the meals let’s now visualize the way it can be if all of us

emphasized on taking the meal.

IV. VISUALIZATION

A. Implementing healthy breakfast meal daily would see a population that is productive as well as

individuals demonstrating high cognitive abilities. Just imagine a population where we would not

spend a lot to address the issue of obese kids or adolescents.

B. However, if we fail to observe compulsory well-balanced breakfast meal daily then unproductive

population will be the only thing that we will have. Imagine a situation whereby everyone cannot

afford to carry out their daily responsibilities. Don’t you think this would be a disaster?

(Transition)It is my hope that you will contemplate on the benefits of making breakfast a must and

take action.

V. ACTION / APPEAL

A. Review thesis: Taking meal at the start of day should not be optional but it ought to be a must if

we want to achieve our dreams and continue with the healthy living.

B. Review main points: It is important to note that our discussion today has dwelt on the negative

implications of not taking breakfast and the benefits of making sure that we have our breakfast

meals daily. for example, we have noticed that without breakfast meals in our lives there is

likelihood of facing issues such as obesity, coronary diseases, and low cognitive

abilities.Therefore, there is the need of making sure that we integrate daily breakfast meal to be

part and parcel of our lives.

C. Closing Statement / Direct Challenge (to adopt the specified attitude, belief or behavior)A

healthy and productive population is built only by cultivating a healthy living culture. it is our

mandate to ensure that we pass the baton of compulsory intake of healthy breakfast daily among

the society.
