What are the benefits of eating a nutritious breakfast?
1. Whilst you are asleep your sugar reserves become low. So it makes sense to eat a healthy breakfast after a long period of fasting. Your body needs to have its energy stores topped up. 2.

People who eat breakfast experience less of a mid-morning slump than those who don’t. They’re also less likely to indulge in high-calorie, low nutrient snacks, such as crisps, pastries and cakes. 3. Breakfast provides important nutrients you might not get otherwise. Most breakfast cereals have added calcium, riboflavin, iron, vitamins C and B complex. 4.
