What's the usual breakfast for you?

Breakfast boosts brainpower

If you don’t have breakfast, you might find you feel a bit sluggish and struggle to focus on things. This is because your brain hasn’t received the energy (glucose) it needs to get going. Studies suggest that not having breakfast affects your mental performance, including your attention, ability to concentrate and memory. This can make some tasks feel harder than they normally would.

Ideas for healthy breakfast foods:

Whole-grain cereals or bread for carbs Low-fat milk, yogurt, or cottage cheese for protein Fresh fruit or veggies, again for the carbs Nuts or legumes for even more protein
