The added value that Breakfast provides to a person’s day is crucial to advancing their attitude in the morning and also giving them the energy in the morning to perform to the best of their ability. People should reconsider their position on eating Breakfast because it offers many different benefits that are often overlooked. After all, there are many misconceptions surrounding this topic. In a study from the University of Alabama, it was found that eating Breakfast does not have any substantial effects on a person’s weight, rather eating breakfast helps lower an individual’s consumption of food later in the day. This begs the question of what the benefits of eating breakfast have on a person’s everyday routine, does it enhance their ability to consume information in the morning? This essential question is discussed in Breakfast After the Bell where Peter Wright finds that one average student who consumes a nutritious breakfast in the morning finds themselves having better academic testing performances and also the ability to be conscious during the early moments of their day. Being able to have a new perspective towards eating Breakfast in the morning is crucial to best understanding what your body needs for itself to be able to perform at its very best.
