Breakfast - Dont Skip it! by Bridget Benelam - Nutritionist

ou wouldnt want to starve yourself for 10 hours every day would you? But you do, every night after youve nished eating you go to sleep and dont eat anything until the next day. So your body is actually starving when you wake up each morning.

It sounds a bit dramatic, but you wouldnt expect a car to go anywhere when it hasnt got any petrol. Just like that, your body needs fuel for all the different things you need to do, like travel to school, read or write or to play sports, and without it you can end up feeling tired and grumpy.

There are lots of different things you could have for a healthy breakfast. Breakfast cereals are a really good source of vitamins and minerals, and adding fresh or dried fruits can help you toward getting your 5 A DAY. Having a glass of fruit juice with your breakfast also counts.

Toast can also be a great start to the day, try adding baked beans or scrambled eggs to keep you full all morning. Also try experimenting with granary breads, bagels or pittas. And if you really cant face eating in the mornings you could try having a banana or yoghurt to keep you going. Overall, the best way to start every day is to have breakfast, giving your body the fuel it needs to get up and go. 6 5 4 3 2 1 7

The Origin of h Black Belt Hig Part. 2

Art: Blake OFarrell
You cant handle the power, Nicholas. It will destroy you if used incorrectly!

I have disgraced you! Bartered away my powers.. Even lost my youth!

You have paid a heavy price, my son!

I must confront Nicholas.. Before he uses the power of the Wisdom for evil!

Then you leave me no choice! I cannot stop your evil, but I can slow it down!

Too late! I have whats rightfully mine!

AK ZZ
I wont let you down, Sir. This I vow!

Days later...

I neutralized Nicholas power by reabsorbing the Chi energy back into myself. My bodys too frail to take it.. Im dying..
Listen carefully, Kai..The Book will vanish! It does this when an unworthy person is given its power!

Itll reappear when the right disciple is ready! Find that student! And beware of Nicholas! Even though hes gone missing, hell be back to stop you finding a successor!

The Great Grandmaster dies...

TODAY...

I sense powerful Chi in these students!

Anyone of these could succeed in inheriting the Wisdom!

Youre my Chief Instructor, Max, what are your thoughts about them?
First, we have Abigail Braithwaite.
Shy, lacks confidence, due to her speech impediment.

But she trains hard and excels at computer technology!

! BAM
Y A AII AH!

OSS!
Then theres Parkinson Thomas, the rich kid. Prefers to be called P.T.

Bit lazy and somewhat rebellious! Yet likable! Just needs some discipline in his life!

ASA!
Leo Lewis. Unafraid to lead and the most natural athlete in the group. At times, too confident for his own good!

Here we have Shona Oxford. Everybody likes her.

They think shes cool when it comes to music and fashion!

AP P
Thank you, Max. Now, I think its time I was formally introduced.

! HIY A

And finally, Lisa Oyama. The most scholarly of the five. She displays a deep need to succeed!

Yes Sir!

Students! Attention! The Grandmaster is present!

Good morning, Sir!

And a jolly good one, my dear chaps!

Its spiffing!
And you are..?

George MontwellSmythe!
