ABCs of Breakfast

How often have you heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?
Well, research has proven the old adage is actually true. Eating a healthy breakfast has been shown to go hand-in-hand with:

- reduced hunger levels later in the day (possibly why it's recommended for both losing & maintaining a healthy weight).
- a more nutritionally complete diet.

- increased concentration in both kids & adults.

- increased energy.
- lower cholesterol levels (even when eating eggs) & a decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes.
