By now, it should be no surprise that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After sleeping, your body is deprived and in need of some serious fuel. By getting the essential nutrients your body needs through breakfast, your body is ready to start a fresh day. Breasfast is also good for the mind as some research shows that people who eat breakfast have a higher productivity than those who do not eat breakfast.
