Make your first meal the best meal. And don't kickstart your day with coffee

"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." Worded by nutritionist Adelle Davis in the 1960s, this advice holds more truth today than ever before.

Breakfast is often described as the most important meal of the day. Skipping it doesn't just leave you feeling sluggish; it can have a surprisingly serious impact on both your physical health and mental sharpness.

What we consume first thing in the morning plays a crucial role in stabilizing blood sugar, supporting cognitive function, and even setting the tone for our energy levels and mood throughout the day.

Fueling the mind and body A well-balanced breakfast is more than just a source of calories; it's an essential part of how we wake up our bodies and minds. Research shows that people who eat a nutritious morning meal have better mental alertness and focus.

For school-aged children, in particular, breakfast has been directly linked to better academic performance and improved memory and attention.
