We’ve all heard that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” From improving your mood to increasing your metabolism, this morning meal has more than just one benefit. And since you are what you eat, we’ve put together three relevant reasons why you should never, ever skip your breakfast.
Breaking your overnight fast
When you sleep at night your body is in fasting mode and breakfast is the meal that, quite literally, breaks this fast to give your body the right amount of nutrition to replenish the energy reserves. So, it’s important to include healthy foods like fruits, grains, cornflakes and dairy products as a part of your morning meal, because these help with everything from improving concentration and focus, lowering levels of bad cholesterol and reducing the risk of diabetes and heart diseases.
What, when, how
It is important to note what you eat, when you eat and how it’s made. Ideally, you should eat your breakfast within two hours of waking up. Eat something light, yet hearty, that will fill you with energy. No, we don’t mean a ghee-laden paratha or a cheesy burger.
The breakfast weight-loss theory:
The AM meal helps to speed up your metabolism and burn calories faster, resulting in healthy weight loss. Research also shows that people who eat a good breakfast are usually in their ideal weight range.
