Why Breakfast? It’ll Kick Start Your Day
Ready. Set. Go slow, the tank’s empty. That’s a morning without breakfast. If you or your kids skip breakfast, you miss an early reload of fuel that feeds your brain and provides energy to your muscles. Breakfast can:
- Boost your physical and mental energy.
- Jumpstart your metabolism for the day.
- Curb hunger and help you lose and keep off weight.
- Reduce your chances of developing type-2 diabetes and heart disease.
The American Dietetic Association found breakfast can also help children:
- Concentrate better.
- Solve problems more easily.
- Have better hand-eye and muscle coordination.
Not hungry in the morning? Go easy on coffee – it can dull your appetite. Cut back on your evening meal or skip bedtime snacks. Your body will adjust, and you’ll be ready for breakfast.
