Why breakfast is important?

BREAKFAST is important part of our daily routine to kick start the day. Breakfast means break a fast from a night before. I don't say have breakfast like a king instead have a balanced meal that helps you improve concentration, feel more energetic, avoid binge eating rest of the day, control weight and boost metabolism.

               

Skipping breakfast is very common because some don't feel hungry in the morning especially kids, some don't get time to eat and some skip breakfast so as to loose weight  BUT this is a big NO!!! NEVER EVER SKIP BREAKFAST IF WANT TO STAY FIT & HEALTHY!

As we all know that breakfast is important meal and all age group should have it; but their body requirements and routines are different so their breakfast options and proportions will also differ.
