Break the Fast
 
Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn't take much further thought to realize adults will feel better and do better in work as well. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.

When you skip breakfast, you are likely to become tired when your brain and body run low on fuel. By               mid-morning, you might grab a cup of coffee or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunchtime you are hungry, crabby, and perhaps prone to make more unhealthy choices for lunch.

Eat something within one half hour of waking up. Be good to yourself by eating a healthy breakfast each day.
