Though this word literally refers to breaking the fasting (non-eating) period from the prior night, many individuals choose to either eat no food until lunch time, or an unhealthy, small breakfast.
Breakfast is a must for all of us. It is
the most important meal of the day. A nutritious breakfast is
important for health and weight management. Taking ten minutes to make and eat some
healthy food in the morning can be a simple
thing to do.
Fresh
fruits, oatmeal, whole grain breads with low-fat cheese, or hard-boiled eggs
are just some of the quick and healthy
breakfast options that can make a big difference in your health, mood, and appearance. Below
are valid reasons why breakfast should
be a priority in your life every morning:
1. Starting your morning with breakfast
will boost your metabolism.
2. A morning meal helps keep your blood sugar levels stable during the
day.
3. A healthy and nutritious breakfast reduces the risk for starving as well
as cravings and overeating later
in the day. People who skip breakfast have lower energy levels throughout the
day
4. Having breakfast helps one to feel fuller for longer, and eat fewer
calories throughout the day to control
one’s weight.
5. Studies have shown that people who
eat breakfast consume more vitamins,
minerals, and fiber throughout the day.
6. A morning meal is a necessary fuel
for your body and one’s brain as well. Eating a healthy breakfast helps improve one’s concentration and productivity throughout the day.
7. People who skip breakfast have lower
energy levels of strength and
endurance to engage in physical activity.
8. If you don‘t eat breakfast you may have worse moods during the day and poorer memory.
9. People who regularly skip breakfast are much more likely to become overweight and face a higher risk for serious health problems (like type 2 diabetes
and heart disease).
“Breakfast is everything. [It is] the
beginning, the first thing. It is the mouthful that is the commitment to a new
day, a continuing life.” (A. A. Gill) [i]
