Eating breakfast isn't just for kids. Although you've probably stopped growing, your body is constantly renewing itself, replenishing your skin, hair and nails, replacing old tissues with new, breaking down and rebuilding bone and generally keeping your body in the best shape possible.

Breakfast is a critical meal because it influences practically every dimension of our being during the course of the day, including how we perform physically and mentally. Breakfast immediately raises the body’s energy level and restores the blood glucose level to normal after an overnight fast:
Breakfast-skipping is linked with being overweight:

Although a direct effect of skipping breakfast on weight has yet to be determined, studies indicate that people who skip breakfast are more likely to be overweight or obese. One large study found that breakfast skippers were 4.5 times more likely to be heavy than those who ate breakfast, so when you get the chance, make your breakfast (and pack your lunch) at home!

Breakfast is packed with the nutrients most of us don't get enough of:

Pastries and fatty breakfast meats don't count, but if you stick to breakfast foods like whole-grain cereal and milk, fruit and yogurt or eggs and whole grain toast, you're much more likely to meet your daily dose of necessary nutrition. Those who skip breakfast tend to have lower levels of calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, vitamins A, E, B6, C and folate.

Eating breakfast benefits blood sugar and cholesterol levels:

A small study found that when lean, healthy women skipped breakfast, their fasting blood sugar was higher, along with their cholesterol, upping their risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Skipping breakfast caused the women to eat more throughout the day than when they ate breakfast, too.

Skipping breakfast won't save you calories:

It may seem like eliminating a whole meal must lead to weight loss, but the opposite appears to be true. Many studies have found that those who skip breakfast tend to eat more during the day and are more likely to be overweight or obese: One study found that skipping breakfast is associated with higher risks of developing chronic diseases like diabetes, metabolic syndrome and high blood pressure. Whether those diseases resulted from the extra weight non-breakfast eaters tend to carry or from skipping breakfast itself needs further research.[color=#990000][/color]

A healthy breakfast also means more fuel power for the brain and it's very important if you are trying to lose weight. Unlike what people believe, eating a healthy nutrient packed breakfast helps your metabolism which will, in turn, keep you active enough to burn off some of the stored calories in your fat cells resulting in weight loss or healthy weight management.

Nice one. Not until recently did i come to discover that skipping breakfast tends to make one add weight reason being that there is always a tendency to overeat during "brunch", dinner and even supper. With the already slow metabolism associated with skipping breakfast, fat-gain is inevitable.

Rather than skipping breakfast, i encourage indulging in healthy meals.
