MIDDAY SNACK: WE RECHARGE OUR BATTERIES.

In the course of the morning (in the breaks) you must eat a little. This allows you to recharge energy at half of the time, around six hours, which can separate breakfast and lunch. Midday snack must contribute around 5 per cent of the energy you need all day but it must never be so abundant as to make you lose your appetite for lunch later. oys can consume about !5" kcal and girls about !#" kcal. $ou can mix together carbohydrates, proteins, dairies and vitamins. %or example, a &arma ham sandwich' a yogurt with cereals' a piece of fruit.

0uring the breaks you must get used to eating healthy food. %ruit, omelet sandwich, ham, biscuits, etc. are healthy food. 1ndustrial pastries (palms, 2ca3as4, etc.) and sweets have a lot of simple sugars of 5uick assimilation, which you don6t burn 5uickly will turn into fat which will make you earn weight without reali7ing. &lastic bag sweets (2chas5uis4, 2gusanitos4, etc.) usually have a lot of salt (it6s bad for our organism) and they are cooked with vegetable oils not recommended for your arteries6 health because they raise your cholesterol and it can cause, at medium)long period, cardiovascular problems. Remember: eat healthy in the breaks in order to render very well physically and intellectually the rest of the lessons. Remember that the brain spends 20 of the energy that food provides us. If you don !t feed yourself well" probably" you won!t do very well at school either because you don!t give your brain the energy it needs.
