When it comes to learning, breakfast may be just as important as taking notes in class and completing assigned homework. A good diet actually changes the brain by creating more brain cells, strengthening communication between cells, and improving blood flow which leads to more glucose and oxygen delivery to the brain.

- more energy
- better memory
- improved problem-solving skills
- improved mathematics skills
- better scores on standardized tests
