It's especially delicious in the morning: 5 reasons not to skip breakfast

The first meal not only helps to "wake up" the body in the morning. Breakfast determines our condition during the day and our general well-being.

Today, many people prefer to skip breakfast - the accelerated rhythm of life does not always allow you to enjoy a morning meal, and hunger in the morning is not too strong. In fact, by skipping breakfast, you lose something very important that can make you more active and healthier:

A burst of energy

Happiness.

Breakfast (especially a protein-rich breakfast) gives your body the energy it needs to kick-start your metabolism after a night's rest. This helps you feel more alert and stay active throughout the day.

Supporting cognitive function

Breakfast provides the brain with the glucose it needs to perform daily tasks. Eating right in the morning promotes better concentration and better mental performance.

Weight control

Eating regularly in the morning can help you maintain your figure. Eating breakfast prevents overeating throughout the day as it satisfies hunger and generally reduces appetite.

Maintaining overall health

Breakfast provides important nutrients - vitamins and minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates - that are needed to keep all body systems functioning properly.

Improved mood

Eating breakfast can have a positive impact on your emotional well-being. The right foods stimulate the production of happy hormones like serotonin, which can boost your mood and reduce stress. And if you eat something you particularly love in the morning (delicious yogurt, fresh fruit, yummy toast...), a good mood is sure to follow. It's even acceptable to eat something sweet in the morning hours, so you can use a piece of chocolate, a small amount of jam or extra sugar with your coffee to boost your mood. Glucose will help to produce hormones of happiness, and your further activity will not let what you eat be transformed into calories.
