Why you should never skip breakfast

This cannot be the first time you heard of breakfast being the most important meal of the day. We have been told this ever since we were little kids and refused the food our moms tried feeding us before school.

Nowadays, parents do not push us to eat in the mornings, but instead we high school students leave the house without even a thought on having breakfast, let alone the time to sit down and consume the meal. We can set aside the idea of breakfast if we want, but the truth is breakfast actually is a significant part in one’s daily diet.

Breakfast literally means breaking one’s fast that took place overnight. Having breakfast after waking up begins the day on a high note and will benefit the rest of it.
Taking time to eat breakfast will prevent someone from becoming hungry later on. If you are one of the people who like reaching for a midnight snack that is not a piece of fruit, having a simple breakfast can keep you from doing just that.

The morning meal will keep one full up until lunch time. Therefore, it will also keep people from growing hungry during class- who hasn’t gone through the embarrassing moment when your stomach grumbles way too loud in a quiet classroom?
Studies from the Food Research and Action Center show students who eat breakfast perform better in school than those who do not for this reason.

They are more able to work when they are not famished. One’s mind will be more fully focused on class discussions rather than on when the bell rings for lunch.
Anyone can find the time to have a quick breakfast each morning even if that means waking up 15 minutes earlier, or even easier, preparing it the night before. When it comes to choosing what to eat for breakfast, the options are endless.

Find the foods you enjoy, make sure they are healthy and balanced (although it does not hurt to have your Nutella every once in a while, of course) and get in the habit of having them each morning. Breakfast only brings positive outcomes so stop going on without it!
