Where does our morning begin every day? What brings us back to normal after a long sleep? Of course, breakfast! It is he who gives us strength for new things and decisions, allows us to get a good and cheerful mood in the morning (and coffee has nothing to do with it!).
Good habit
According to nutritionists - experts and doctors - breakfast is the most important component in the human diet. It charges us with energy, allows us to wake up and gives us a good mood. Therefore, if you absolutely do not have enough time for breakfast, you lose about 20% of your life every day. How much of this loss will accumulate over the course of a whole year? Therefore, it is necessary to have breakfast! Getting up earlier is also a matter of habit. Of course, it’s good if you have a beloved wife or a caring husband nearby who will prepare you a wonderful breakfast and even bring it to bed. And it doesn’t matter, if you wake up alone, then you will give this royal gift to yourself in the morning. And before you know it, preparing a delicious and healthy breakfast will become a healthy habit.
