the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast are worth taking a few minutes to eat.

There are many


benefits of breakfast, including:

Boosts metabolism: Skipping meals causes the metabolism to become sluggish, but eating
speeds the metabolism up because the body is burning calories when its digesting food.
Breakfast is the first opportunity of the day to fuel the body and get the metabolism running.

Increases Energy: Studies indicate that those who eat breakfast have higher energy levels than
those who skip breakfast.

Lowers cholesterol levels: Soluble fiber found in foods such as oatmeal, oat bran, citrus fruits
and strawberries has been shown to lower cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart
disease.

Improves concentration: Research shows that those who eat breakfast have better
concentration, memory, and problem-solving skills than those who skip breakfast.

Aids weight loss: Those who eat breakfast eat fewer calories throughout the day and lose more
weight compared to those who do not eat breakfast. Also, those who opt out of eating breakfast
are usually famished by lunchtime and tend to overeat.

Keeps blood sugar levels stable. Eating a breakfast consisting of sugary cereal or a doughnut
causes blood sugar to spike, leading to hunger and carbohydrate cravings. A healthy breakfast
keeps blood sugar levels stable, thereby decreasing cravings and hunger throughout the day.
