Breakfast is the most important meal


It has never been something I woke up to do and was never on my daily routine. I would just start work with coffee. Towards the mid afternoon, I would have no energy and be a drama queen complaining about something silly at work. My stomach was roaring embarrassingly, disturbing the quiet workplace.

As of a year ago, breakfast has been a part of my morning. I wake up, get dressed for work, making my Starbucks run, and grab a quick bite to eat. Yes, I started off eating eggs, meat, and rice or my favorite musubi but now I'm gradually eating some whole grains with some fruits and my stomach has been welcoming the healthier choices. Yes, I said healthier, not ALL healthy. 

I've done some additional reading as well. Breakfast makes a difference on your health and increases your metabolism. After your body's well-rested wake up, we are craving for some energy and what's the easiest way to get the surge of power....it's by eating breakfast. When you eat breakfast, your body is less likely to crash mid afternoon aka drama queen doesn't make it's appearance until later. It also tells your body and mind that you have energy and prevent you from eating larger portions. Yes, you got it, eating breakfast could lead to healthier weight. Just remember, it's good to eat a well-balance breakfast after your 8-hours of beauty rest.
