Do you know what the benefits of a healthy breakfast really are? 

 

It’s often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yet, from a study done by The Ohio State University roughly 15% of Americans skip breakfast daily. 

Is everyone really too busy to take time to have a healthy breakfast or do they not understand the benefits of a healthy breakfast? 

Many people feel like they don’t have time in the morning to prepare and eat a healthy breakfast. Not only do we understand that mornings can be hectic, but social media even created a day for not being busy like “Self-Care Sunday, ” but when most research shows that skipping breakfast can make it harder to lead a healthy lifestyle we need to find a solution.

Let’s dig into a few of the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast. 

Benefits of a Healthy Breakfast #1:

Breakfast Foods Provide Key Nutrients 

A 10-year data analysis conducted by Ohio State University found that adults who skip breakfast are much more likely to be lacking in key nutrients than breakfast eaters. These key nutrients include fiber, calcium, iron, folate, and vitamins A, C, and D. That’s because common breakfast items tend to be high in many of those nutrients. Milk and yogurt are rich in calcium, fresh fruit like orange carries vitamin C, and healthy breakfast cereals and oats are high in fiber. Generally, you’re unlikely to consume those kinds of foods other than in the morning. So, the benefits of healthy breakfast is that there is  a good chance you will NOT miss out on those critical nutrients for the entire day. 

Benefits of a Healthy Breakfast #2:

Healthier Food Choices  

Many people who eat breakfast regularly report greater feeling of satiety and fullness early in the day, which can cut back on food cravings that lead to excess snacking or an unhealthy meal.

In The Ohio State study mentioned above, researchers found that those who skipped breakfast:

snacked more often and finished the day by eating more carbs, sugars, and fats than those who ate breakfast.

If you have trouble sticking to “eat healthy meals all day” plan, get the benefits of a healthy breakfast through mindset, keep track of your healthy meals and reward yourself as you go.

Benefits of a Healthy Breakfast #3:

Leads to Greater Mental Clarity 

When you’re dealing with busy, hectic mornings you need to be on the top of your game. The benefits of a healthy breakfast (and a filling one with all the macros!) will give you more energy to jumpstart your day.

Many of us are at our most productive early in the morning, so having a grumbling stomach in those first few hours doesn’t do you any good.
