The Importance of Breakfast

Why is breakfast important? “Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dine like a Pauper”
It’s a well known phrase, but do you follow it?

Breakfast provides many benefits to our health and wellbeing. Breakfast provides the body and
brain with fuel after an overnight fast – that’s where its name originates, breaking the fast!
Without breakfast you are effectively running on empty, like trying to start the car with no
petrol!

Breakfast support cognitive function. Breakfast also restores glucose levels, an essential
carbohydrate that is needed for the brain to function. Breakfast provides energy, studies have
shown how eating breakfast can improve memory and concentration levels and it can also
make us happier as it can improve mood and lower stress levels.

Breakfast provides energy needs. People’s energy needs vary depending on activity levels and
life stage but typically men require more energy than women. Growing children require a lot of
energy, as an example boys aged 7-10 years should consume approximately 1970 kcals per day,
and girls aged 7-10 years should consume approximately 1740 kcals.

The importance of Sleep

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough
quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of
life, and safety. Why Is Sleep Important?

Sleep helps your brain work properly. While you’re sleeping, your brain is preparing for the next
day. It’s forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information.

Studies show that a good night’s sleep improves learning. Whether you’re learning math, how
to play the piano, how to perfect your golf swing, or how to drive a car, sleep helps enhance
your learning and problem-solving skills. Sleep also helps you pay attention, make decisions,
and be creative.

Physical Health often relate to quality sleep. It plays an important role in your physical health.
For example, sleep is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. Ongoing
sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood
pressure, diabetes, and stroke.

Besides that, sleep also helps maintain a healthy balance of the hormones that make you feel
hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin). When you don’t get enough sleep, your level of ghrelin goes up
and your level of leptin goes down. This makes you feel hungrier than when you’re well-rested

The Importance of Exercise

We all know that exercise is important in our daily lives, but we may not know why or what
exercise can do for us. Here are some benefits of exercises.

Exercise increases energy levels. Exercise improves both the strength and the efficiency of your
cardiovascular system to get the oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. When your
cardiovascular system works better everything seems easier and you have more energy for the
fun stuff in life.

Exercise improves muscle strength.Staying active keeps muscles strong and joints, tendons and
ligaments flexible, allowing you to move more easily and avoid injury. Strong muscles and
ligaments reduce your risk of joint and lower back pain by keeping joints in proper alignment.
They also improve coordination and balance.

Exercise can help you to maintain a healthy weight. The more you exercise, the more calories
you burn. In addition, the more muscle you develop, the higher your metabolic rate becomes,
so you burn more calories even when you’re not exercising. The result? You may lose weight
and look better physically which will boost your self-esteem.

Exercise improves brain function. Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain. It
also encourages the release of the brain chemicals (hormones) that are responsible for the
production of cells in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that controls memory and
learning. This, in turn, boosts concentration levels and cognitive ability, and helps reduce the
risk of cognitive degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

The Importance of Physical Fitness

Why is Physical Activity and Fitness Important? There are some advantages when we get fitnes.
SOme of them are:

Physical activity is essential to prevent and reduce risks of many diseases and improve physical
and mental health. It can even help you live longer—research from the American Journal of
Preventative Medicine indicates that regular exercise can add up to five years to your life.

Physical activity also keeps you in shape so you can enjoy leisure activities and safely perform
work and home chores. It offers great mental and social benefits as well. The Lancet released a
series of studies that attribute positive outcomes to physical activity, including “a sense of
purpose and value, a better quality of life, improved sleep, and reduced stress, as well as
stronger relationships and social connectedness.”

On the other hand, lack of physical activity is associated with increased risks of healthy
problems.

The Importance Of Education

Education is most important among all of us. Education plays a very important role in your life.
For living a luxurious life or for living a better life, you should be educated.

Education is that which transforms a person to live a better life and even in a social well being.
Education is the one that doing something constructive in our near future. It helps a person to
show their best by their mind and spirit. It gives you a lot of knowledge in whatever aspects.

Education plays a vital role in your success in the personal growth. The more you have
knowledge the more you grow. Being educated and earning a professional degree prepares you
to be a part in reputed organizations, companies or institutions.

In today’s competitive world education is necessity for man after food, clothing, and shelter.
Education is the solution of any problem, it is the only education which promotes good habits,
values and awareness towards anything like terrorism, corruption and much more. Education is
the strength to a person and education need to a person.

Why Farming is Essential for Us

In this modern era, people can get their food conveniently by buying it from the supermarket or
grocery store. It is the farmers who provide us with fresh produce, vegetables, meats, and other
non-processed items. Unfortunately, farming has become the least attractive employment
sector for youths. Yet, farming is important to support our life.

Farming is a huge boon to our local economy. Most of the farms owned are family-owned
farms. It means when we buy local produce, we support their family while they support ours.

The healthy way to eat is consuming fresh fruits, vegetables, and animals which are grain-fed
and raised in humane conditions. Without the local farmers, we would sorely lack healthy food
and would be forced to consume processed and less healthy food.

Agriculture is the largest industry in Indonesia. These jobs range from actual farming,
processing, distribution, and much more. With this great opportunity, it will absorb a lot of local
workers and advance the development of the community's economy.

I personally believe that farming is essential for us as a community and local farmers can be a
great way to empowering local economies, providing healthy food, and advancing the
development of the community's economy.

The importance of School Extracurricular Activities for Students

Besides learning formal lessons, students at school are able to develop their personality by
joining certain extracurricular activities that held at school, for example, boy scouts, martial art,
music, English club, sports, and so on. The activities have significant roles for students.
Firstly, school extracurricular activities will reveal the students' hidden potentials. This is
important since knowing students’ potentials will ease school to direct and manage the
students’ progress in certain talents. If some students join sport extracurricular, for example,
the school basketball team, it is easy for the school to choose the best student sent if there is
any student basketball competition.

Secondly, extracurricular activities will increase students’ self-confidence. It is important for

them to have strong and high self-confidence in order to achieve higher achievements and
better character.

Thirdly, joining school extracurricular activities will train students to learn how to organize and
give a contribution to a certain kind of organization. This knowledge and experience are vital to
developing students' leadership and cooperation. Here the will be involved in choosing the
leader of the school extracurricular, managing the administration of the group, promoting their
activities to other students, building good communication with school management and
running the activity continuously. This needs strong leadership and full commitment and
cooperation among members.

It is obviously clear that extracurricular activity in school is important for students to develop
their potential, increase self-confidence, and train them to learn how to organize in school
community.
