Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and is the meal that breaks our overnight fasting period (a literal meaning of breakfast is “to break the fast”). Eating a healthy breakfast is important because it provides nutrients, improves brain function, replenishes glucose levels, and reduces the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. But many of us are often in a rush and skip this essential meal.
