Reasons for having breakfast
- Breakfast starts up your brain and the whole body to better performance. Experts recommend 30% of daily caloric value should come from breakfast.
- It is proved that those who have regular breakfasts are slimmer as the calories received in the morning are burnt faster by natural activity instead of cumulating in fat-pads. Those who do not have breakfast eat more during the day and can put on weight easily.
- Those who skip breakfast are also said to be more vulnerable to influenza and colds. These results from the clinical research carried out at the Psychological Institute of Cardiff University. Other hazard factors are smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and stress.
- Breakfast boosts stress, fatigue and cold resistance. Physicians even declare that going without breakfast can shorten your life.
