BREAKFAST: THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY

By Elena Mouratidou, Holistic Health Coach

Breakfast is the first meal of the day and is often referred to as the most important one, as it provides your body with the necessary nutrients and energy you need to start your day off right. It is recommended that your breakfast be balanced with protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats to help fuel the body and maintain a healthy metabolism.

Eating a balanced breakfast regularly has been linked to numerous health benefits, including weight management, improved cognitive function, and a lower risk of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.

The idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day has been around for a long time and is supported by various scientific studies.

BOOSTS METABOLISM
Eating breakfast kickstarts your metabolism, which is essential for burning calories and maintaining a healthy weight.

PROVIDES ENERGY
After the night, you need the energy to fuel your brain and body. Breakfast provides this energy and helps you stay focused and alert throughout the day. Make sure to include the AMINO ANIMO organic proteins in your breakfast and you will soon see a big difference in your energy and endurance.

IMPROVES COGNITIVE FUNCTION
Breakfast has been shown to improve cognitive function, including memory and concentration, which can help you perform better in the demanding rhythms of your day.

HELPS CONTROL APPETITE
Eating breakfast can help regulate your appetite and prevent overeating later in the day. People who skip breakfast are more likely to snack on unhealthy foods and consume more calories overall.

PROVIDES NUTRIENTS
Breakfast is the ideal opportunity to consume important nutrients, such as fibers, vitamins, and minerals, which are essential for good health.
