“Eat a good breakfast!” We’ve heard this advice all our lives. Most of us completely ignore this ancient recommendation, rushing out the door every morning to try to avoid being late yet again for school a track meet or work.
Others, feeling guilty because they know they “should” be eating better, grab a frozen pastry or gulp a glass of orange juice as they desperately try to find where they tossed their keys last night. Don’t grab your kid a pastry! Take an extra moment for your families health.
In fact, eating a “good breakfast” is a sound nutritional policy. Eating breakfast restores badly needed energy to your depleted systems. Without breakfast, the needle on your internal gas tank is on “empty”. you’re literally “running on fumes”.
Breakfast renews your resources. You have available energy to do the things that need to get done. And, it’s easy to put together a good breakfast. Two pieces of whole wheat toast spread with peanut butter. Or a cup of yogurt mixed with a half-cup of cottage cheese. Or a hard-boiled egg, a stick of string cheese, and a banana.
It’s so simple to eat a healthy breakfast. It takes five minutes, tops. You derive the benefits all day long.
