Why eating breakfast is so important

So, what is it that makes breakfast the most important meal of the day? Most of what makes breakfast so important stems from the fact that it’s the first meal you’ll eat. Breakfast breaks the overnight fasting period and gives the body the energy it needs so you can be alert and ready to meet all the challenges the day brings. This jumpstarts your metabolism and tells the body to expect more calories throughout the day. Skipping eating a substantial meal in the morning causes the body to conserve calories rather than burn them, making you feel lazy and less energetic. Not eating breakfast can also increase food cravings later on in the day and cause you to over-eat.

There is also scientific research linking eating breakfast to better concentration and memory, lower body mass index (BMI), and lower levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, lower risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, lower body mass index (BMI), and better health overall.
