In the middle of the last century, popular nutritionist Adelle Davis advised people to
eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
We don’t know about lunch or dinner but she was certainly right about breakfast.
Overnight the body is at rest and considered to be ‘fasting’. The average amount of sleep that a
person should get is 8 hours, which is a long time to go without eating. What we eat in the morning
sets the tone for the day and provide us with the energy to make it through the day. That’s where
the name comes from ‘break’- ‘fast’.
We know breakfast lies nowhere near your list of priorities when you’re rushing to work in the
morning. But instead of skipping breakfast altogether you can go for healthy and easy breakfast
foods. Plan out ahead and take 10 minutes from your morning routine for breakfast and that’ll make
a huge difference. It has been shown to decrease the overall calorie intake each day. It will eliminate
the chances of you grabbing the high-fat and high-sugar options on your way or at work. Breakfast
also helps restore glucose levels. Many studies have shown how eating breakfast improves
concentration levels and memory. It also improves your mood, lower stress levels and thus makes
you happier. It helps kickstart your metabolism and helps in burning calories throughout the day.
Start your day off by making healthy choices.
Breakfast is really the most important meal of the day!
