- So, does it matter what your kids eat for breakfast?
Absolutely! Popular sugary cereals have a high-glycemic index – a fancy way of saying that they cause a quick spike in blood sugar, which then falls off dramatically.
Low-glycemic foods like oatmeal and whole grains are absorbed more slowly so blood sugar levels stay even and energy lasts longer,5 helping your child maintain focus and enhancing their cognitive performance.
