Breakfast sets you up for the day

We’ve all heard it . . . . breakfast is ‘the most important meal of the day’, and there’s a reason for this. As the name suggests, breakfast breaks the overnight fasting period. It replenishes your supply of blood sugar to boost your energy levels and alertness, at the same time providing other essential nutrients required for good health. In fact, research shows people who eat breakfast are more likely to meet their recommended daily vitamin and mineral needs than those who don’t eat breakfast.
