Why should we have breakfast?

After dinner until to the next morning, we spent lots of glucose. So we need to fill lacking glucose by breaking the fast. So it became breakfast.  And today, I want to ask why should we have breakfast.

When we skip breakfast, we can be easily tired and sleepy because we don’t have enough energy. Glucose is the only nutrient of brain, so we can’t focus on study when we skip breakfast.

Skipping breakfast connected to overeat. Frequently overeat and snacks can cause overweight.

But, when we eat breakfast, we can gain energy and nutrient that make children to grow. And, we can prevent gastritis or other stomach problem.

What can we eat for breakfast?

Carbohydrate and Fat. Carbohydrate is the main energy source and they make moving brain and muscle. But excessive carbohydrate can cause obesity.

Vitamin can be found in vegetables and fruits. We can’t make them in our body, so we should gain them by eating fruits.
