Eat your breakfast like a king!!

Ohh I am getting late…I need to leave for office! Let me tell you this is the story of every individual and owing to the lifestyle we have these days the idea of consuming breakfast has taken a backseat. Now obviously as you are getting late you would either miss taking bath or eating breakfast. Though the first one is unlikely missing the latter is a huge possibility. So many of us would say I have just missed my breakfast. What is the big deal? I do it almost everyday and see nothing has happened to me yet. I am hale and hearty. While importance of breakfast has been discussed time and again, still most of us believe ignorance is bliss. 

Breakfast as the name suggests means breaking your fast. Once you go off to sleep for about 8-10 hours you do not consume anything and hence it becomes extremely important to have a good and healthy breakfast. Just a toast with a cup of tea would not work wonders for you but a slice of whole wheat bread with an omelette shall definitely do. Always remember the saying EAT YOUR BREAKFAST LIKE A KING, LUNCH LIKE A PRINCE AND DINNER AS A PAUPER. Just like your phone's battery needs to be charged every morning so that it functions efficiently, similarly your body requires a nutritious meal every morning once you wake up to keep you going all day long.

Why you should not miss the first meal of the day-

A healthy breakfast is the best!!
  1. The brain requires glucose to function and only then would you be able to work and study well.
  2. Having breakfast can boost your metabolism and aid in weight loss.
  3. If you do not eat breakfast then even the entire day meal would not be able to provide you with the nutrients a good breakfast can provide you with.
  4. Not eating breakfast can lead to cravings and you shall end up eating unhealthy stuff like biscuits,chips,doughnuts,burgers and pastries.
  5. Remember if you do not eat breakfast then there are chances that you might suffer from irritability,lethargy and mood swings.
