constipation, hyperglycemia, dizziness and cognitive disorders and obesity.

learning process at school for students because it reduces physical activity, causing obesity in
adolescents and adults. He emphasized that the difference between people who are used to
breakfast and people who are not used to breakfast is if people who eat breakfast are able to
provide the body with the nutrients needed to think, work, and perform physical activity
optimally after waking up in the morning. The breakfast menu can cause nutritional
deficiencies in the body in the morning and increase the risk of malnutrition," he added.

diabetes.

breakfast can actually increase the risk of obesity. When you skip breakfast, you will tend to
