Nutrition 101 with Joan O'Keefe, RD

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You will notice marked improvements in mood and energy, with fewer cravings for junk food, when you eat a breakfast that is high in water, protein, good carbs (loaded with antioxidants), and healthy fats. What does breakfast do?

Breakfast boosts our metabolism. Many people who struggle with their weight often skip breakfast altogether or have a light breakfast. As we age our metabolism get slower. One way to boost our metabolism is to eat breakfast. Breakfast boosts our metabolism because it gets the fires burning for the day. Breakfast gets the metabolism nice and high so we burn calories through out the day.




Breakfast also fuels our brains and our bodies. Our brain only runs on one nutrient and that is glucose. In the morning our glucose levels are at a low normal. We need to refuel so we can think, learn and test. Not only does this apply to adults, but certainly to the children in our lives.
