Is breakfast really important? Our parents teach us all about healthy eating, but sometimes we just eat something quickly (or skip it).
According to WebMD, starting your day healthy can improve your entire week. Experts recommend starting a balanced diet.
For some people, it's cornflakes. Some people require complete English, such as sausages and eggs.
Here's what you need to know about your first meal of the day.
Is breakfast really important?
Breakfast is important, according to experts like Healthline.
The first meal of the day helps prepare the body for activity. Food gives us energy and then prevents us from “crashing” when we run out of energy.
Skipping it can have negative effects on your body.
Morning meals are important, but so is balance.
Breakfast: Why is it important?
Energy makes breakfast an important meal.
If you skip breakfast, you may not reach your full potential and may collapse before lunch.
The morning energy spike is what gets us through the day. Without this important step, you could end up crashing all day without getting the proper kilojoule intake.
How do you start your day?
Balance is key. Experts recommend a healthy diet that contains the most necessary minerals and vitamins per day.
