After long periods of not eating overnight, the first thing that we consume in the morning is usually our breakfast. Lack of breakfast can contribute to dizziness, fatigue and lowered attention span.
If you consume a well-balanced breakfast, you are less likely to feel hungry or suffer from hunger pangs. Skipping breakfast might make you crave processed or unhealthy foods (high in fat or sugar) which might contribute to weight gain.
Some researches have found an association between skipping breakfast and increased susceptibility to diseases like Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases or Obesity. There are also lower levels of LDL cholesterol seen too.
Consuming breakfast helps improve our memory, attention span and concentration. According to some studies, children who consumed breakfast were able to perform well academically than those who skipped breakfast.
A good breakfast is a good source of nutrients like vitamin A, C, B complex vitamins, fibre, calcium and iron. A good breakfast would provide around 20-25% of your daily nutrient intake.
