Most Important Meal of The Day !

Let's be real , Sometimes breakfast is the last thing on our mind We're often so busy trying to get wherever it is we are going in the morning that we often settle for a cup of coffee and whatever we can grab at the gas station.

Would you believe me if I told you Breakfast is worth you waking up a little bit earlier ?

We all know the nutritional reasons we should eat breakfast  but did you know that eating breakfast can actually affect your mental wellness as well so I'm here today to tell you ...

4 Reasons You should eat breakfast every day! 

1.  Most of us can tell the difference between the days when we eat breakfast and the days we don't, other than the lack of hunger on the days we eat breakfast we tend to be more alert more focused and more motivated. Here's why, on the days we skip breakfast our body is running on an empty fuel tank even though we might not notice it our body definitely does and therefore the only thing it can focus on all morning is finding some source of energy to refuel itself causing you to be unfocused and sluggish all day 
2. Eating breakfast can actually help you stick to your diets or meal plans. Are you trying to cut down on your snacking ? Find yourself craving junk food before lunch ? This is because like I said before your body is looking for Sugar, fuel for the energy bank , You'll be less likely to Grab that donut (or two) out of the conference room if you've had a good breakfast. Plus you can pat yourself on the back for avoiding the extra sugar ! 
3. Forming a Habit motivates you ! Having a morning routine has worked wonders on people's mental wellness and helped motivate them to do other things throughout the day. Being able to check off a tiny goal first thing in the morning will send endorphins to your brain making you happier and healthier right off the bat. 
4. Breakfast Time is family time! I understand that during the week it may be hard to get everyone to sit down at the table and share breakfast but on the weekends when everyone is taking it a little slow set up the table and share breakfast. It's a great way to not only make sure everyone has a healthy meal but also an opportunity to talk,laugh, and share how their week has went.
