Do Not Miss Your Breakfast

Nevertheless, by all means, including breakfast in our diet is fundamental to give our body the strength, energy, and activeness it requires after many hours of fasting while we are sleeping and resting. You might not feel hungry or have the urge to eat when you wake up; yet, our recommendation is to give the body fuel to start the day, helping our metabolism to get to work and do its job efficiently.

The powerful benefits of breakfast

A few exciting benefits of including breakfast are:

• Energy boost: you will feel much more energetic and active than if you skipped breakfast and continued with long hours of fasting.
• Better mood: you will always hear people saying: "stomach full, heart happy". This is true. You will feel positive, jolly and start enjoying breakfast once you make it part of your routine. There is always an excitement for breakfast, having to try new recipes. There is a lot to create and explore!
• Maintain a healthy weight/lose weight: whether you are looking to maintain your weight or lose some unwanted weight, adding breakfast can help to avoid overeating later on, as well as eating unnecessary snacks. Whatever you eat in the morning, you have the guarantee you will burn it off. Then, why not enjoy a beautiful and enriching breakfast?
• Better performance and better health: eating breakfast will help you think better, perform at your top level and have a strong immune system; having also good control of sugar level and cholesterol.
• Receive essential nutrients and vitamins: the moment you skip a meal, you are losing out on important nutrients and vitamins your body requires. You might not be able to catch up with all the needs during the rest of the day. Therefore, don´t forget to give the body what it deserves and needs.
