I could not agree more. The body definitely needs a nutritious breakfast in the morning to start the day. After having slept the last 8 hours or so, it makes sense that the body needs breakfast. If I ever skip breakfast, I spend the entire morning with my stomach grumbling then more than likely over eat at lunch time or eat a less healthy meal to compensate. This is not good for the body and explains why breakfast can contribute to weight loss. However, some people that claim to eat breakfast may be eating donuts and soda rather than something nutritious.
ReplyDeleteGreat point. The whole idea is to BREAK the FAST from sleeping 6-8 hours and get the body into an anabolic state once again.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I know personally when I don't eat a good breakfast my day usually feels longer and I am more tired. However when I eat a good nutritious breakfast I am more likely to have a good day and get more done.
ReplyDeleteGreat article and I completely agree! Especially towards finals, I find it so sad that people go from studying for hours to a 6-8 hour fast and then studying more without getting any nutrients. I've never skipped breakfast for as long as I can remember and I don't plan on ending that habit anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteI did not realize how important eating breakfast truly was. This article informed me a whole lot as to why it is important to always have breakfast. Now that I have read this I cannot agree more that breakfast is the mot important meal of the day.
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes! Yes! I completely agree with this article. When my friends tell me they "aren't really breakfast people" it makes me want to face palm them! Breakfast is such an important part of your day and everyone needs to understand that Thank you for this article!
ReplyDeleteI never understood why so any people demanded on me eating breakfast, I'm just not a breakfast person. However I have noticed on days that I did eat breakfast I felt a lot better throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteI myself rarely ever eat breakfast. I never really am hungry in the morning and just skip it. This article is very helpful and to show how eating breakfast is very important and skipping it can be harmful to your body. I will now try and eat breakfast more often.
ReplyDeleteTheres not a day that passed by that my parents didnt tell me to eat breakfast. I know that eating breakfast prepares me and gives me the nutrients I am going to need for the day.
