If you tend to rush out the door each morning, you may be tempted to save time by skipping breakfast. However, this choice means you’re depriving yourself of an enjoyable meal and many health benefits. If you want to improve your overall well-being, here’s why prioritizing breakfast can help.

Why You Should Eat Breakfast

1. Helps You Manage Weight

If you skip breakfast, you’re likely to feel hungrier later in the day, which can cause you to overeat and seek out unhealthy food options. By satiating your appetite before it gets out of control, you can enjoy small, nutritious meals throughout the day. This eating habit will help you maintain a healthy weight and minimize overindulging.

2. Provides Energy & Focus

Your body uses energy at night to heal itself and digest the nutrients you consumed during the previous day. If you don’t have more calories and nutrients when you wake, your body is left with insufficient fuel for the day. You may feel sluggish at work or have a hard time focusing on important tasks. A breakfast full of protein, carbohydrates, and fresh produce will effectively restore your energy and brainpower.

3. Kick-Starts Daily Nutrient Intake

About three-quarters of Americans don’t hit their daily recommended intake of some nutrients. It’s even harder to meet your nutritional needs when you only eat two meals and a snack each day. By having a healthy breakfast, perhaps with some eggs, meat, and rice, you’ll provide your body with more opportunities to absorb essential nutrients.
