Importance of having Breakfast

Often we skip breakfast, because of business or after the time that breakfast was neglected. Well, here are some very good reasons for you to change that habit.

1. Breaking the Fast

When you sleep, for about six to eight hours, your body doesn't receive nutrients, so to reserve energy, it "slows down" metabolism, the process of transforming body chemicals into energy. When you wake up, you're still in this state. Just like a car that has not been started for long, your body needs time to get back into its active state. With having breakfast can speed up metabolism, resulting in full energy right after a night's rest.

2. Improved Moods

When you don't eat, your blood sugar drops. Research shows that low blood sugar greatly affects mood and behaviour. That's why you tend to get cranky when you are hungry. Breakfast makes you feel better, happier, and ready to face the day. And it's really important to start the day in a good way, since it will affect your mood all day long.

3. Special Food for the Brain

Morning is the best time to provide food for our brains, one of the way through having breakfast. Research proves that breakfast is closely linked with mental intelligence, in a sense, breakfast gives a positive value to brain activity, the brain becomes more intelligent, sensitive and easier to concentrate. So, of course if you have breakfast you will have better performance at school, work or at home.

4. Adequate Daily Intake
Its name also breakfast, we do not have to consume foods with full menu with portion like a montain.

The amount of food we consume about one-third of food a day. This means that the food consumed during breakfast is not only satisfying, but also complete and balanced nutrition. Although minimal in quantity but the quality still must be considered. Breakfast which right should contain energy, protein,vitamins, minerals, fiber, and calcium.

5. Prevent the Various Diseases

between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m. Advice on not to skip breakfast!
