Breakfast for a Healthy Lifestyle

I know a lot of people who skip breakfast. We know that mornings are hectic and we just get up and go. Reasons such as busy on preparing for work or school, uninteresting food choices, hassle in food preparation and lack of hunger give us excuse for skipping it. What are the benefits of eating your breakfast everyday?

1. Breakfast is the most important meal since after sleeping all night, you need food to fuel and give you energy.

2. You will less likely to binge eat later in the day.

3. Children are more able to concentrate and learn better simply because they have the needed fuel for their brain cells.

4. It's always good to eat three meals or more a day in small, right proportions.

Try this simple breakfast fixes:

- Fruit and yogurt parfaits with fresh fruit and topped with granola
- Oatmeal in a cup and fresh fruit
- Whole grain cereal in a cup with low fat milk and fresh fruit
-Whole wheat toast with peanut butter and orange juice
-Muffins with cheease and fresh fruit
-Eggs ( scrambled, boiled, poached you can prepare anytime the night before) with whole wheat bread or brown rice and fresh fruit
