Breakfast, How important is it really?

I really wanted to cover how important breakfast actually. I find that I never have time in the morning for breakfast which to me really sucks because I love foods you eat for breakfast. Like eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, cereal and orange juice!! That is the main reason why I want to cover the importance of having something for breakfast in the morning.
So scientist have been studying the importance of breakfast for about 40years now and they have found many things that help your body when you eat breakfast.
The first thing that breakfast can do for you is help your brain and body first thing in the morning by making you more alert and helps to brain process thoughts. Without eating breakfast you can feel tired, restless and irritable until you're able to eat something. So why not have breakfast and feel awake and help make yourself more active during the day!
The second thing breakfast can do if you have it each morning is help you loss weight or prevent weight gain. The reason it does this is because it helps start your metabolism working and its breaks the fast of not eating from about 12hrs since your last meal, which makes you not as hungry as the day goes on and can prevent binge eating, which is the major cause for weight gain in most people.
So here are some simple and great breakfast ideas from the website that I got most of my research from:

• Ready-to-eat whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and a cup of yogurt
• Whole-grain waffles topped with peanut butter, fruit or ricotta cheese
• A whole-wheat pita stuffed with sliced hard-cooked eggs
• Hot cereal topped with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice or cloves
• Peanut butter on a bagel with fresh fruit (banana or apple wedges) and low-fat milk
• Breakfast smoothie (milk, fruit and teaspoon of bran, whirled in a blender)
• Vegetable omelet with a bran muffin and orange juice

And if you're taste do not crave breakfast foods, here are some other ideas:

• Lean ham on a toasted English muffin and vegetable juice
• Cheese pizza and orange juice
• Grilled vegetables mixed with beans and cilantro topped with cheese
• Heated leftover rice with chopped apples, nuts and cinnamon and fruit juice

These are super ideas because they will get you up and moving and that is the most important thing to start your day. You need to have energy and breakfast will always give you that energy that you need! And don't forget to have lunch, it's just as important as breakfast and dinner! Also another tip: If 3 meals a day seem not to be enough. What you can do is have 6 meals a day, but make them smaller then the 3 you typically would be having. It won't count as binge eating and you will keep getting an energy boost throughout the whole which is nice, especially if you have a busy day! P.s.: Well I was writing this post today I was enjoying a nice bowl of cereal with milk!
