The Many Benefits of Breakfast

Your mother was right: Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Not only does it give you energy to start a new day, but breakfast is linked to many health benefits, including weight control and improved performance.

Studies show that eating a healthy breakfast (as opposed to the kind
containing doughnuts) can help give you:

  • A more nutritionally complete diet, higher in nutrients, vitamins and
    minerals
  • Improved concentration and performance in the classroom or the
    boardroom
  • More strength and endurance to engage in physical activity
  • Lower cholesterol levels
