Shake Up Your Wake Up!

When asking what people normally have for breakfast, an alarming amount of people usually say, “oh, who has time for breakfast?!?” or the occasional “I’m not even that hungry when I wake up”. I mean, everyone has heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day...and they aren’t lying. Breakfast provides your body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast. (hence, the name) Without breakfast, it is equivalent to running on empty, like trying to start a car with no oil. Our bodies need essential nutrients (calcium, iron, vitamins, proteins, fiber) early in the day, to keep your body feeling great the rest of the day. So if you are guilty of the lame generic basic excuse that you ‘don’t have time to eat breakfast’, how about you set your alarm clock 15 minutes earlier...your body can thank me later. Breakfast is necessary for the brain as well, it needs energy in order to function properly!! It has been scientifically proven that those who eat breakfast are more physically active throughout the day compared to those who don't. Research has indicated that breakfast may even enhance memory, attention, the speed of processing information, reasoning, creativity, learning, and verbal abilities. So, yes, roll your eyes all you want...but breakfast is the most important meal!!
