SOUTH CENTRAL ADULT SERVICES

NEWSLETTER

Do you ever skip breakfast? People have lots of

reasons. Maybe they hit the “snooze” button on their

alarm clocks one too many times and they didn’t

have time to grab something.

Maybe someone ate the last of the cereal and left the

empty box in the cupboard. Maybe they just weren’t

feeling hungry. Others might be trying to cut some

calories out of their diet to lose weight. Some might

think that breakfast is only important for kids.

Avoid the Midmorning Slump

After many hours without food, people have an

“empty tank” and their energy levels fall. Most peo-

ple who skip breakfast eventually feel the

“midmorning slump.” Their stomachs might grum-

ble, and they might even feel a little shaky.

Regardless of your age, breakfast is a valuable meal

for a variety of reasons. Researchers have shown that

adult and child breakfast skippers are more likely to

be overweight and to have higher blood cholesterol

levels. Children who eat a morning meal are more

likely to do well in school and have improved overall

Fuel your empty tank with breakfast

(BPT) - Flu causes millions of

illnesses, hundreds of thousands of

hospitalizations, and tens of thou-

sands of deaths in the United

States yearly. This year, because

of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is

more important than ever to get a

flu vaccine to protect yourself,

your family and your community

from flu and its potentially serious

consequences.

Both flu and COVID-19 are

respiratory illnesses that are

thought to spread mainly by drop-

lets when people who are infected

cough, sneeze or talk. Both flu and

COVID-19 can be spread to others

before infected people know they

are sick.

There are also some key differ-

ences between flu and COVID-19.

COVID-19 seems to spread more

easily than flu and causes more

serious illnesses in some people. It

can also take longer before people

show symptoms and people can be

contagious for longer. Another

important difference is there is a

vaccine to protect against flu.

There is currently no vaccine to

prevent COVID-19. The best way to

prevent infection is to avoid being ex-

posed to the virus.

While what will happen this fall and

winter is uncertain, CDC is preparing

for flu and COVID-19 to spread at the

same time. Besides making people sick,

this could result in a dangerous public

health situation because both diseases

can cause serious illness that might re-

quire hospitalization. Getting a flu vac-

cine provides the best protection against

flu and is particularly important this

year. Flu vaccines help reduce the risk

of developing potentially serious flu

complications. This is especially im-

portant for people with certain long-

term health conditions like diabetes,

asthma and heart disease. Flu vaccines

are also important for people who are

65 years or older who are more likely to

get very sick from flu.

Reducing the number of people who

are sick with flu also can reduce the

burden on our medical systems. More

people getting vaccinated can mean that

fewer people will need to go to doctors'

offices for flu treatment and testing, and

fewer people will need to seek urgent

medical care or be hospitalized with flu.

These reductions in doctor visits and

hospitalizations can help save medical

resources needed for the care of

COVID-19 patients.

CDC recommends everyone 6

months and older get their flu vaccine

in September or October, or as soon as

possible after that. Talk to your

healthcare provider, pharmacy, or

health department about getting your

flu vaccine. Doctors, pharmacists and

other health professionals are putting

new procedures in place to keep people

safe from COVID-19 during vaccina-

tion.

It's also important to continue social

distancing, wearing a mask and wash-

ing hands often - all these actions help

slow the spread of respiratory illnesses,

including COVID-19 and flu.

Not sure where to get a flu vaccine?

Visit vaccinefinder.org to find a vac-

cination location near you.

nutrition. They pay attention and score

higher on tests. They also have better

behavior in school. Adults maintain

their energy and concentration.

Try These Tips:

Keep breakfast foods such as ready-

to-eat whole-grain cereal, yogurt, milk

and fruit on hand.

Set out the cereal bowls, spoons,

cereal box(es) and some bananas before

you go to bed. All you need to do is

pour cereal, peel and slice bananas and

add some milk.

Have some protein, such as yogurt,

milk or a hard-cooked egg, with your

breakfast. Protein helps you feel full

longer.

Build a breakfast burrito bar. Pre-

pare toppings such as shredded cheese,

diced ham, tomatoes and olives the

night before. In the morning, scramble

eggs, warm tortillas and fill with your

favorite toppings.

Whip up a fruit and yogurt smooth-

ie or build a yogurt parfait to take on

the go.

Try something “trendy” such as avo-

cado toast. Mash an avocado, add your

favorite seasonings and spread on

whole-grain toast. Top with a sliced

hard-cooked eggs.

Do you want to enjoy something

homemade for breakfast without spend-

ing a lot of time in the kitchen? Try

making your favorite muffins, scones

and pancakes ahead of time and then

freezing for a quick meal later. In the

morning, warm each item for 20 to 30

seconds in the microwave. Add some

fruit to your plate and a glass of milk or

yogurt for a quick meal. Visit

www.ag.ndsu.edu/food/recipes for

more breakfast ideas.
