Never Skip Your Breakfast

I have often heard my mom telling me how important it is to have a healthy and fulfilling breakfast. When I was in school, I used to have just a glass of milk before going to school. During my college life too, I never ate breakfast unless I planned to miss my morning lectures. Then one fine day, someone asked me a thought provoking question. That person asked me if I charge my phone before leaving for work. My answer was – “of course I do. Otherwise I would not be able to sustain the battery of my smartphone till the end of the day.” That person was very happy with my answer. He then asked a rhetorical question. He said “even a non-living thing needs to be charged in the morning. How do you expect a living being to survive the morning with no food?” I had no answer. He had managed to convince me.


There are so many food service India providing us with convenient ways of obtaining healthy food. Why do we still hesitate to nourish our bodies? Breakfast is an important meal providing us with the energy to function properly throughout the day. These days there are so many options. I am sure you would find copious easy and healthy breakfast recipes on the internet. The breakfast does not need to be boring. If your child refuses to have his morning meal, find creative ways to do so.

If you still aren’t convinced of the importance of having breakfast daily, I suggest you try it for a few days. Have wholegrain bread, cereals or fruits. Try it for at least a month and see if you feel any change in your energy level. But do give it one shot.

I also have a quick tip- start your day by drinking a glass of water to keep yourself hydrated.
