Start your day with a good breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Starting the day with a complete and varied breakfast is essential for optimal nutrition and proper physical and mental functioning. It is not uncommon to find people who do not eat breakfast in the morning or at most have a glass of milk or a coffee.

Breakfast is an important base in daily diet, since it is the first meal of the day and must provide us with enough energy to face a day of work or study. Experts advise that breakfast should contribute 25% of daily energy to perform at the beginning of the day.

A healthy and balanced breakfast should consist of milk, bread or cereals, and some fruit or fruit juice. Recent studies have shown that a bad breakfast has a direct relationship with the attention level of children in class hours. An unbalanced intake produces metabolic changes in children that cause fatigue, attention deficit, and other aspects of cognitive function.

Like a car, our body needs gasoline in the morning to start functioning properly. If you do not give fuel to your body early in the morning, it will draw from reserves and these will not be as effective to perform the morning work. You only need to wake up 15 minutes earlier and prepare a good breakfast to face the day.

Here is a breakfast proposal: a cup of coffee with milk, olive oil and tomato toast, cereals, and orange juice. You can substitute orange for another fruit and milk for yogurt. And you, do you eat breakfast well?
