Breakfast is the important meal of the day because it gets you ready for the day ahead and provides your body with energy that will enable you to be productive.<\/p>\n

Eating a good breakfast helps you not to make some unhealthy purchases on your way to work or the gym.<\/p>\n

Being a working mom life can be hectic, between getting my daughter ready for school, work and packing lunch.<\/p>\n

As well as squeezing in some time for breakfast can be challenging.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 Benefits of Why is Breakfast an Important Meal of the day<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. BOOSTS YOUR METABOLISM<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Breakfast helps to kick-start your metabolism in the morning. Eating a proper morning meal and smaller portions, more often.\u00a0 Throughout the day will help to balance your energy and enable your body to more efficiently use the kilojoules available.<\/p>\n

Eating two large, heavy meals per day puts too much pressure on your body and will make you feel sluggish.<\/p>\n

It will make it easier to control your kilojoule intake if you have 3 main meals and 2 snacks.<\/p>\n

2. PROTECT YOUR HEALTH WITH ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Breakfast should provide between 15% \u2013 25% of the total daily energy intake and remember \u2013 it\u2019s not just about having any breakfast \u2013 it\u2019s about having the right kind of breakfast.<\/p>\n

It is also about providing your body with energy (kilojoules) and nutrition your body needs, including fibre, vitamins, and minerals.<\/p>\n

3. HELPS CONTROL YOUR WEIGHT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Skipping or eating a breakfast that lacks nutrients can make you more likely to reach for unhealthy, high-kilojoule foods later*.<\/p>\n

In fact, research shows that individuals who consume a good quality breakfast tend to have a better daily food pattern than those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

4. HEALTHY SKIN<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We all want a healthy looking skin to achieve having beautiful skin we need to start with nourishing our bodies from within.<\/p>\n

Drinking water and enjoying a good breakfast are two important habits which will help you obtain the needed nutrients for every organ and system in your body, and the skin is no exception.<\/p>\n

5. POWERS YOUR BRAIN<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Improved mental performance, concentration, and mood** \u2013 three more reasons to enjoy a morning meal!<\/p>\n

Without breakfast, you may struggle to focus and are more likely to be irritable and tired.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget to re-hydrate after a night\u2019s sleep too.
\nStaying hydrated will also help you to concentrate throughout the day.<\/p>\n

6. HELPS MAINTAIN MUSCLE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Your body can only use so much protein at one time, it\u2019s important to space out your protein intake throughout the day.<\/p>\n

It is important to remember that, protein is essential for developing and keeping muscle, and our body relies on the protein in our diet to help us do this.<\/p>\n

7. LIFTS YOUR ENERGY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you did not know Breakfast literally means to \u2018break the fast\u2019 and helps to top up the stores that your body has used overnight to repair and renew our bodies.<\/p>\n

Vitamins and minerals contribute to the reduction of fatigue, meaning breakfast can help you avoid the mid-morning slump, which typically happens if you have skipped your first meal of the day.<\/p>\n

At Herbalife Nutrition, they believe that a balanced approach to nutrition is not about counting kilojoules and I personally don\u2019t like counting my kilojoules.<\/p>\n

Nor is it about deprivation of your favourite flavours, or the elimination of food groups such as zero-carb diets.<\/p>\n

Whatever your goals, Herbalife Nutrition wants to help us become a better version of ourselves \u2013 able to look and feel as good as you deserve.<\/p>\n

Your recommended intake of the macronutrients, protein, fat, and carbohydrates should be consumed daily, along with micronutrients (vitamins & minerals), regular exercise and adequate hydration. Getting these nutrients from the right food and science-backed products are key to fuel your body.<\/p>\n
