The Importance of Breakfast

Breakfast plays a important role in building the body's energy reserves. Eating breakfast is associated with improved concentration, cognitive performance, late morning strength and endurance, reduced irritability and fatigue.


Glucose levels in the blood are associated with memory function and since the brain itself has no glucose reserves, it makes sense that breakfast gives your brain the kick-start it needs in the morning.
People who eat breakfast tend to be healthier, take in more nutrients, and eat less fat and cholesterol.
People who skip breakfast tend to overcompensate, eating more calories later in the day and more calories overall than breakfast eaters.
