 Certainly, this will affect our concentration and result inefficiency, ineffectiveness, even failure of work, as well as to give you the necessary energy you need to do your activities productively.

Eating adequate, nutritious breakfast before leaving home in the morning is, therefore, very important. The breakfast should contain carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins, and mineral. Carbohydrate provides power and energy. Protein substitutes the damaged cells, and fat also functions as the source of energy.

 

 Moreover, vitamins and minerals are important for the body’s metabolism. A person who is not accustomed to eating breakfast may not feel hungry. However, the cells of his/her organs actually starve. If there is no food in the stomach, the digestive organ will remove its energy to feed the cells.

If this happens continuously, the body becomes weak and thin, and the person may gradually become sick. The typical disease caused by the condition above is gastric ulcer. Now you see that it is useful to eat breakfast regularly before you go to school or work. This helps you to be healthy and fit.
