The big deal about breakfast! 1. Whats so wrong with skipping breakfast? After you ate dinner 2-3 hours before bed and slept 7-8 hours, your body is in a fasting state and taking energy from your muscles. To start your metabolism, eat breakfast. 2. Why are proteins and fiber important in the morning? Eating a well-rounded breakfast is important because all the macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) play roles in everyday bodily functions. Protein helps build and repair cells. Fats help maintain healthy skin, reproduction, immune function, and brain and eye development. Carbohydrates help your brain function properly. 3. What are some other breakfast benefits? Breakfast helps maintain a healthy blood sugar level. When you dont eat a well-rounded breakfast, you increase the likelihood of reaching for high sugar snacks and caffeinated beverages later. Some healthy, no fail breakfasts you can make in a jiffy!
