Breakfast – The Power Meal

Mom always told you that breakfast was the most important meal of the day and she was right. When you eat breakfast every day, you are helping yourself to:

  • Stay Slim
  • Stay Healthy
  • Stay Sharp

Weight loss advocates encourage you to eat regular meals at regular intervals throughout the day. Breakfast is a critical meal because breakfast eaters are far less likely to be overweight than those of us who skip breakfast. Your diet is more likely to be successful when you eat breakfast than when you do without. By eating a healthy breakfast, you are limiting the excess hunger and sugar lows you can experience later in the day. This helps you resist the urge to overeat.

Eating breakfast helps you stay healthy because you are providing your body with fuel. It will reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer and can help make you more resistant to the common cold or flu.

The reason mom told you to eat breakfast is that it boosts your brainpower. It improves your memory and concentration functions. Kids who eat breakfast will often score higher on tests and are often less likely to suffer from hyperactivity, anxiety or depression. So if it helps your kids do well in school, consider how it can help you out when you’re working and going through your day!

So eat breakfast, it does your body good.
