Breakfast: Is it the most<br />
important meal of the day?<br />
5 Reasons why you should never skip<br />
breakfast.<br />
Breakfast is often called the most<br />
important meal of the day. As the name<br />
suggests, breakfast breaks the overnight<br />
fast, which can range from 7 to 10 hours.<br />
The foods you eat after this fast help<br />
replenish your supply of glucose, boost<br />
your energy levels, and supply a portion of<br />
the essential nutrients required for optimal<br />
health.<br />
Some of the benefits of eating breakfast<br />
include improved energy levels, increased<br />
ability to concentrate, better weight<br />
management, and reduced risk of type 2<br />
diabetes and heart disease. Despite the<br />
evidence that breakfast is healthy for you,<br />
many people often skip breakfast for<br />
various reasons. Let’s be clear,<br />
occasionally skipping breakfast isn’t the<br />
end all be all. However, having a healthy<br />
breakfast in the morning will help fuel your<br />
body for your morning activities.
