 Healthy Breakfast Recipes

Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day because it breaks the overnight fasting period and replenishes your energy, glucose, protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients. Eating breakfast can also help you improve your memory, concentration, and alertness. It can lower your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. However, not all breakfasts are equally beneficial. You should avoid breakfasts high in refined sugars and carbohydrates, which can do more harm than good. Instead, you should aim for healthy and balanced breakfast that includes fruit, vegetables, milk, and whole grains.
