Although it’s tempting to skip breakfast as you’re rushing out the door in the morning, you probably aren’t aware of what you do to your body when you skip the meal. The effects go well beyond making you hungry. Consider the following benefits of breakfast, and see why it’s worth making time for the meal every day.

The Importance of Breakfast

1. Energizing Your Body

Don’t rely on coffee to get you up and going in the morning. While it provides a kick, it won’t maintain throughout the day. Breakfast is the best way to energize, which is especially important for being productive at the office or school. A well-balanced meal of lean protein, fruit, vegetables, and whole grains will give your body all the fuel it needs to hit the ground running and keep you full until lunch.

2. Setting the Tone for Healthy Eating

A healthy breakfast can also impact what you choose to eat for the rest of the day. If you enjoy a nutritious meal in the morning, you may be more likely to continue a healthy eating trend at lunch and dinner. Eating breakfast can also help you feel full longer, helping you avoid unhealthy snacking at the office or overeating at lunch.

3. Promoting Heart Health

Heart-related complications are a leading cause of death around the world. High blood pressure, heart disease, and other cardiovascular issues are all tied to unhealthy weight gain. People who skip breakfast may be prone to unhealthy eating, and, in turn, become obese. This significantly increases the likelihood of adverse health effects. Just because you eat breakfast doesn't mean you’re healthy, though. It needs to be well-balanced. Avoid processed, greasy foods and choose low-fat dairy, fruit, and whole grains.
