BREAKFAST

Its that time in the morning and personally I rush to the kitchen to eat something because I am hungry. Depending on your habits and work load others choose to ignore this important start for the day.

Breakfast is the first meal taken in the morning after a night of rest. The meaning of breakfast is simple. "It is breaking the fast"

Yes we all do fast. I am not referring to the religious fasting where you go for days or even months without food and water in order to seek the face of the Lord, no not that kind of fasting.From a scientific perspective, fasting occurs when we go without eating for a short period (around 8 hours to 3 days)

During this time the blood glucose level is regulated by the liver (metabolic city/hub of the body) so that it remains within acceptable range for other sugar hungry organs (such as the brain) to be keep functioning. Therefore after sleeping for the recommended 8 hours, it is important to replenish the glucose levels and have breakfast.
