The big breakfast
Breakfast isn't called the most important meal of the day for nothing. Making time for eating breakfast is key to a healthy life. A good, nutritious start to the day will help you concentrate and make you more energetic. It may also lessen your desire to snack, helping you to stick to a weight loss or healthy eating plan.
The benefits of eating breakfast have an especially high impact on children. There is mounting evidence from scientific studies that a healthy breakfast is associated with improved performance at school. Breakfasting improves concentration and, consequently, academic achievement.
Best of BritishA healthy breakfast should be high in carbohydrates and low in fat. So a full fry-up, complete with fried bread and sausages, is unlikely to do you any good. In this country, a healthy breakfast can be made up of a wide variety of items such as wholegrain cereals or porridge with reduced fat milk, low-fat yoghurts topped with fruit, fruit juices, wholegrain breads, grilled lean bacon, poached eggs and grilled vegetables.
