As the saying goes, eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Queen or Prince and dinner like a pauper. Some people say Queen and others say Prince and here, we are interested only in the person who eats less at lunch than at breakfast.

 So who eats less at lunch ? A Queen or a Prince ? As there are very few of these dignitaries around nowadays, it’s difficult to find either to get an answer !

 Anyway, the message is that we should never skip breakfast. The word “breakfast” itself explains that we are breaking a fast which means that our body hasn’t received any nutrition for over 8 hours while we were asleep.

When you get up in the morning, your glucose or blood sugar level is at its lowest point in the day. Glucose is the basic fuel for the brain and central nervous system. A good breakfast will keep you from being tired and irritable by mid-morning.

Whether you are an adult or a child, your body needs nutrition for physical and mental activities. The result of a missed breakfast can be some or all of the following:

 - Decreased work productivity

- Tiredness, irritability and restlessness

- Low blood sugar level

 -Longer reaction time

- Lack of alertness

- Short attention span

 Do you want to experience all of the above at work or school ?  Definitely not. You don’t want to go through the day behaving like a grouch, thereby making your family and colleagues miserable as well.

 A well balanced breakfast can boost your energy, make you more alert, give you a sense of well-being and put you in better control of your emotions.

We may have the following excuses for avoiding breakfast.  

 I have no time – Well, make it a point to go to bed early and get up early.

 I am not hungry - Well, you shouldn’t have stuffed yourself the previous night. The worst thing you can do is to go to bed after a heavy meal. Make it a point to have something light at dinner.

 I will put on weight – That’s baloney ! A normal breakfast of skimmed milk, cereal and fruit will not make you fat. On the other hand, by skipping breakfast, by mid morning, to satisfy your hunger, you may grab something or the other loaded with fats and calories and over a period of time, end up adding inches to your waistline or wherever.

 Health experts maintain that eating the right combination of foods at breakfast increases mental and physical performance and reduces body weight. So, the time for resolutions is around the corner and if you are one of those breakfast skippers, do yourself a good turn in 2010 and start eating breakfast

 So in our own interest, we should make time to eat breakfast every morning.

You also have to decide on what to eat. Whole grain cereal with soy or skimmed milk with fruit is the perfect way to start the day. It is a source of many important nutrients, easy to prepare and a smart breakfast choice for kids, teens and also adults. For more ideas, please watch the video above.
