Why is Breakfast the Most Important Meal of the Day?

Breakfast gives us the opportunity to fuel our body after a good night sleep, it gives us the energy needed to get well prepared for one day’s challenge. Having breakfast at regular time and quantity helps promote gut health, improve work efficiency, regulate your mood, improve memory and promote metabolism at the same time¹.

A healthy breakfast usually consists of quality protein, dietary fiber and other nutrients. Quality protein helps provide the energy we need and aid weight management. Supplement protein at breakfast is better than consuming high-fat and high-carbohydrate breakfast as it helps boost our energy, prevent fatigue and drowsy.  It also helps us feel full for longer. While dietary fiber is effective in promoting gut health and increasing satiety.

The greatest benefit of eating breakfast is that it wakes up our stomach and bowels, enabling us to feel energized to start a new day. Starting every day with a healthy breakfast is undoubtedly the best way to maintain good health. Let’s develop a good habit together.
