Kicking off the day with a nutritious breakfast is a good place to start.

Why? When we wake up, our body has been without food for a number of hours, so we need to eat something to give us the energy to function, from walking and talking through to critical functions such as breathing and pumping blood around our body. Even thinking requires energy, so breakfast and food generally is pretty important.

There are other benefits, too. Evidence shows that those who eat breakfast are generally slimmer than those who skip it, and children who eat breakfast concentrate more and perform better at school.■
