Breakfast Basics
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially since it provides the fuel you need to begin your day energized. Studies have shown an increase in both attention skills and knowledge retention when you begin your day with a balanced, nutritious breakfast. The American Dietetic Association has proven that both children and adults who eat breakfast have better problem-solving skills and improved hand-eye coordination as well. It also helps you to make healthier choices throughout the rest of your day.
