Breakfast

What is one life practice that can extend your life? Eating Breakfast every day. Such a simple thing can add years to your life. Soon after rising in the morning we should "break fast" with food. I've heard every excuse in the book why people don't eat breakfast: "no time," "eating breakfast makes me feel sick," "too many calories."

Eating breakfast doesn't have to be complicated. It can be a handful of nuts and an apple or banana. Throwing vegetables and fruit into a blender. It doesn't have to be something sweet or heavy. Just find something simple that works for you and your schedule.

If your stomach can't handle anything first thing in the morning, wait for an hour or so and eat just a little bit. Your body will adjust and soon you will be looking forward to it.

If you think you are saving on calories by skipping breakfast, think again. Those are the easiest calories to burn.....you have all day to do it. If you make it heathy calories it will be fuel, not added weight. It has been found that people who eat breakfast are the most successful at losing weight.

Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast live happier, healthier, longer lives. It's such a simple thing. I challenge you to find a breakfast that works for you and your family. Breakfast is the most important meal in your day.
