Breakfast: The most important meal of the day
Your body needs fuel to function, which it utilises from the glucose (sugar) in food. This is used to provide the brain with energy and to activate our muscles to get the body working physically. We also use glucose as fuel for the many autonomous functions that take place in our bodies while we sleep.
Upon waking up in the morning, it will have been at least eight hours since your last meal or snack from the day before. Your body needs to refuel blood sugar levels and help regain the energy lost during such a lengthy overnight fast. The best way to revitalize your body is with a filling and nutritious breakfast, to help you meet the demands of the hours ahead and keep you satiated until your next meal.
