Eating Breakfast Every Morning: Easy Ideas!
I know you have heard over and over, “Don’t skip breakfast, it is one of your most important meals of the day”! Eating breakfast every morning is a vital start to your day.
It’s true, and I am going to tell you WHY having breakfast is important!
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gives you a healthy start.
(Of course, if you eat just donuts or chocolate cake every morning eating breakfast, that is probably NOT a healthy start!)
But, having breakfast can be simple and good for you! Check out these benefits of eating breakfast every day.
Benefits of Eating Breakfast
- Improved Mood – Studies show that people who don’t eat breakfast are more tired and irritable.
- More Energy to Face the Day – Your body is running on empty before you eat in the morning. You obtain energy from high-quality protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
- Better Concentration – Eating breakfast improves your ability to be more productive and better able to handle tasks that require memory.
- Weight Management – Studies show that if you eat breakfast, you are more likely to be at a healthy weight than people that don’t eat breakfast.
Popular Reasons WHY People Skip Eating Breakfast…
- “Avoiding extra calories” – but these people will end up overeating somewhere else in the day.
- “I am simply not hungry in the morning” – but this is because you ate too much the night before.
- “I do not have time” – try to wake up TEN minutes earlier.
Eating a Well Balanced Breakfast can be as simple as…
- Grabbing a Yogurt and topping it with some granola and fruit.
- Oatmeal with some fruit.
- An Egg Omelet filled with some veggies.
- Fruit smoothie or Meal Replacement Shake.
With whatever foods you choose, eating a balanced breakfast is the best way to jump-start your day and stay satisfied until lunch.
