Energy

Waking up after 8-10 hours of sleep with an empty stomach can be stressful. Breakfast replenishes the energy you lost and keeps your tummy full at least until lunch.

Nutrients

Breakfast provides a lot of your day’s total nutrient intake. People who eat breakfast are more likely to meet their recommended daily intakes of vitamins and minerals than people who don’t.

Controls Weight

Breakfast prevents large fluctuations in your blood glucose levels, helping you to control your appetite and keeps you full until the next meal, preventing unnecessary snacking and increase in weight.
