WHY EAT BREAKFAST?

•Nearly 20% of the adult population of the US eats nothing for breakfast at all•Studies have shown both long and short term benefits of breakfast. •Starting the morning with a good meal promotes energy, brain function, and a general good mood throughout the rest of the day. •A healthy breakfast "jump-starts" the body's metabolism, and refuels blood glucose, the main source of energy for both the body and the brain.

•Memory, cognition, concentration, and attention span all increase.

•A habit of eating breakfast can promote a healthy body weight and assist in weight loss.

•Part of the reason is psychological. People who skip breakfast to reduce their calorie intake often find themselves hungry for the rest of the day, thus more likely to snack on sugary or fatty foods.

•Breakfast plays a key role in boosting the body's metabolism, skipping breakfast means that the body remains sluggish,

•Proper breakfast habits are also more likely to develop good eating habits in the rest of their lives.

•Breakfast is only a beneficial meal if the correct foods are eaten. Breakfast foods that are high in sugar and fat are clearly not the type of foods which promote a healthy lifestyle.
