Is breakfast really important? Our parents tell us all about a healthy diet, but sometimes you just grab something quick (or skip).
A healthy start to the day could improve the whole week, says WebMD. Professionals recommend a balanced beginning meal.
For some people, it’s corn flakes. Others need a full English, with sausages and eggs.
Here’s what to know about the day’s first meal.
Is breakfast really important?
Breakfast is important, according to experts like Healthline.
The day’s first meal helps prepare the body for activity. Food gives us energy, which prevents the later ‘crash’ when energy depletes.
You could be doing your body a disservice by skipping!
Eating in the morning can be important, and must be balanced too.
Breakfast: why it matters
Energy makes breakfast an important meal.
If you skip breakfast, you might not reach your full potential – and crash before lunch!
The morning’s energy spike is what gets us through the day. Without this essential step, your whole day might lead to crashing without the right kilojoules.
What meal starts your day?
Balance is important. Experts recommend a healthy diet, with the most essential minerals and vitamins for your day.
Breakfasts all over the world
World meals are interesting!
A ‘full English’ usually gets toast, eggs, and sausages. Some start their day with corn flakes, bran flakes, or another type of cereal.
Muffins and other pastries can be another great first meal plan.
Some people like sugar in the morning, others prefer salt.
