Better breakfasts fight teen anxiety: study
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that adding a piece of fruit or a glass of milk to a teenager's breakfast may help protect them from depression, anxiety and disobedience.
A study of more than 800 students has found that a complex breakfast is directly linked to better mental health irrespective of family income, the student's weight or exercise routine.
Students who ate from more food groups for their morning meal scored higher on a child behaviour checklist, with an improvement in mood seen for every extra food type added.
Lead researcher Therese O'Sullivan, from the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth, said,
"It didn't matter what they added, just that they added something different like a banana to their cereal to make that meal more complete with vitamins and minerals. From what we found, that makes a huge difference."
Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland
And this is the best live version of Baba O'Riley.
