For marvellous minds and brilliant brains make sure you feed your children healthy, brain-boosting food that will help them be the brightest sparks around

Brain busting breakies

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure your kids get the best start in the morning.

Eggs and bread contain tryptophan, a substance which produces the naturally occurring chemical serotonin in the brain. If levels of serotonin get too low it can lead to hyperactivity and anxiety which will inhibit concentration. Bread also contains vitamin B1 which helps build and maintain healthy brain cells. So give your kids the feel-good factor and better concentration with a boiled egg and soldiers first thing.
