Why Eat Breakfast?


As everyone has heard more than once that 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day..', what not many people realise, it actaully is the most important meal, for many different reasons;

1. You have not eaten all night because you have been sleeping and therefore your body is in 'breakdown' mode. A lack of insulin production during the night, as a result of fasting, means your body is in a state of weakness without food. Breakfast takes the body out of this mode and into a better state and gets the system started for the day.


2. Eating breakfast will allow you to hav emore energy throughout the day and will help you be more focused and attentive at whatever you are doing. Remember, not only does your body and all your muscles need the energy, your brain also runs off glucose.


3. Breakfast gets your metabolism off to a flying start in the mornings, allowing more energy to be burnt and a healthier looking body.

4. If you eat breakfast in the mornings, it will fill you up until the next meal and therefore ruduce hunger pangs, unecassery snacking and the urge to binge eat later in the day which will lead to gradual weight loss.

5. Also, in the morinings your body is ready to naturaly take in glucose and energy without storing much fat. So in other words, breakfast actually helps keep you thin.
