First Meal Of The Day

Breakfast means break the fast.It is your first meal of the day which should not be missed for any circumstances.

Think about it..As you have to go to the school/office you skip your breakfast and hurry up. By lunch your stomach is virtually growling. This is the time you just cannot resist a quick fix snack, an unhealthy choice that adds to unwanted calories in your daily intake.

Breakfast is very important to refuel your body after a night's sleep. While you are sleeping, the body needs to fuel to keep your heart beating, nerves transmitting and cells dividing. Much of the fuel comes from the readily available stores of glucose in the blood, liver and muscles. By sunrise, the body is essentially in a fasting mood. That first meal of the day literally breaks the fast. That's why breakfast is so important. If you skip breakfast, blood sugar levels drop and fatigue, poor concentration,irritability and lethargy are the results.

Skipping breakfast makes it harder for the bodyto lose weight. Your body's metabolism slows own during the night. When you forego breakfast, you lower your metabolic rate further. This also lowers your blood sugar level and makes you feel lethargic. You yourself then set the stage for impulsive snacking or eting king-sized portions for lunch or dinner.
