KS3 FOOD HOME LEARNING MENU 5
Make the MOST of your TOAST!
Dear students. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and a hearty nutritious breakfast is vital to your physical health and well being.
In year 7 we start to learn about one of the five key food groups:
CARBOHYDRATES
There are two types of carbohydrates: starches and sugars. Starches release energy slowly into the body, and sugars release energy, over a shorter period of time.
Q1: What is a sugar rush or sugar spike?
Q2: What happens after a rush of sugar – how are you likely to feel?
Q3: Is it better to eat sugary or starchy foods for breakfast and why?
