Abstrakt: Research conducted by educational psychology researchers in Australia suggests that eating an unhealthy breakfast or skipping breakfast altogether can have a negative impact on students' motivation to learn and their academic achievement. The study, which involved 648 high school students from private schools, found that students who ate a healthy breakfast demonstrated higher levels of motivation and achievement compared to those who had an unhealthy breakfast or no breakfast at all. The researchers emphasize the importance of schools offering healthy breakfast options and teaching students about the importance of a nutritious breakfast. However, they also acknowledge the need to address barriers such as stigma, body image concerns, and cultural and dietary differences. [Extracted from the article]
