Breakfast, or the act of breaking your fast, is one of the most important things you can do for your body. You have been sleeping for 7 to 9 hours and your body has digested the food that you ate the day before, so when you wake up in the morning your body is looking for more food to digest. If you eat something sweet like a donut for breakfast, your body will experience a sugar rush and then a couple hours later a sugar crash. Sugary breakfasts will not fill you up or satisfy you throughout the morning. When possible, you should try choosing healthier options for your breakfast, as found in these 30 blog entries. Whether you are coming back from a run, rushing out the door to work or trying to feed the kids, it’s possible to eat in a healthy way. On the weekend, when you have more time, you can try other healthy, more time consuming breakfast recipes. And for those that prefer to eat a vegetarian or vegan diet, there are some breakfast ideas for you too!
