Day 1. Oatmeal:

A fantastic choice because it's soft, easy to chew and packed with fiber. Fiber is crucial for digestive health and can help lower cholesterol. Top it with cinnamon, chopped apples, berries, or a drizzle of honey. For even more convenience, you can prepare overnight oats the night before.

Day 2. SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND WHOLE GRAIN TOAST:

Day 2 of the Healthy Breakfasts for Seniors series. SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND WHOLE GRAIN TOAST is an eggcellent way to start your day. Eggs are a high quality, complete protein source. Eggs are rich in choline, a nutrient important for brain function, memory and cognitive health. Adding spinach boosts the meal with vitamins A, C, K as well as iron. Serving it with whole grain toast provides fiber which we all need.

Day 3. GREEK YOGURT PARFAIT WITH FRUIT AND GRANOLA:

Healthy and Yummy breakfasts. GREEK YOGURT PARFAIT WITH FRUIT AND GRANOLA is an excellent source of protein and calcium both of which are crucial for maintaining strong bones and preventing osteoporosis. Layering it with fresh fruit adds fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Granola provides a satisfying crunch and more fiber, making it a filling and nutrient-dense meal.

Day 4. WHOLE WHEAT TOAST WITH NUT BUTTER:

Day 4 of the Healthy Breakfast Series for Seniors And it is a favorite of mine. WHOLE WHEAT TOAST WITH NUT BUTTER is a very healthy breakfast. Nut butters(like peanut, almond, or cashew butter) are a fantastic source of protein. The whole wheat toast and the nut butter are good for the heart and the brain. It's the combination of complex carbs, the fiber from the bread, the fats from the nut butter that help to lower your cholesterol. The vitamin E and niacin found in the nut butters are important to cognitive function. I always add some banana slices which are rich in potassium and delicious in taste.

Day 5. A PROTEIN SMOOTHIE:

Here we are at Day 5 of our series on Healthy Breakfasts and the final healthy breakfast in our series is A PROTEIN SMOOTHIE. Smoothies are a great option for breakfast! Start with a protein source like greek yogurt, protein shake, protein powder, or a handful of almonds. Protein helps maintain muscle mass and keeps you feeling full. Add some fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals. Throw in some flax seeds or chia seeds which are good for your brain and your heart. Blend it all together and enjoy this nutritious, delicious start to your day.

BACK TO SCHOOL. The return to school is a significant occasion that impacts everyone. Emphasizing prudent driving practices for vehicle and bus operators is crucial. As a pedestrian, being mindful of one's surroundings and checking both ways before crossing a street is essential. Extra vigilance is required from everyone during the initial weeks of the school year, as it can be overwhelming and chaotic for many. Pay Attention. Drive Safe. Have a great year and WELCOME BACK!
