Believe it or not mom was right when she said start your day with a good breakfast. It gives you energy. Some recent research indicates that your metabolism may slow down slightly at night and breakfast helps to speed it up.
Anecdotal evidence shows that children who eat breakfast have longer attention spans in school.
But even with mom and most medical authorities in agreement, many, if not most of us, skip breakfast regularly. Some do it because they are trying to lose weight. Others, because they believe that breakfast will make them hungrier later in the day. What studies suggest is that the opposite occurs. All right, but breakfast foods are so bad for you.
