BREAKFAST IS HEALTHY

As the word implies,it really is breaking a fast when the body wakes up empty.

Eating a good breakfast does more than cut the risk of skipping later on.It revs up our metabolism,provides energy for our body and brain and is a key strategy for weight loss and maintenance.
Breakfast blunt the effects of harmones that contribute to weight gain.It is advisable to include lean protein and fibre for breakfast.
Adolescent girls skip breakfast more frequently as they grow older.Skipping breakfast "may predispose"girls to diets that are low in calcium and fibre, and that girls who routinely eat breakfast have a reduced body mass index compared with girls who are "infrequent breakfast eaters".
Eating breakfast is associated with healthful behaviours such as physical activity.
