The Benefits of Breakfast - You've always been told breakfast is the most important meal of the day... but do you know why?  Here are some of the many reasons why you should start your day off with a nutritious breakfast.

Breakfast helps provide life's essential nutrients

Breakfast provides essential vitamins and minerals for healthy growth and development, and studies show that breakfast eaters are more likely to meet their nutrient intake recommendations. Also, people who skip breakfast may not make up for missed nutrients later in the day.1

 

Breakfast is the perfect time to enjoy whole grains

Cereals made with whole grains help promote good health and give you important vitamins and minerals. For a delicious whole grain start, try a bowl of Kellogg's® Frosted Mini-Wheats®.

 

Breakfast helps you fiber up.

Fiber helps promote good digestive health and regularity, but most people don't get enough fiber. Wake up to an excellent source of fiber, such as Kellogg's® All-Bran® Bran Buds® cereal or Kellogg's® All-Bran® Yogurt Bites, to help get you well on your way to meeting your fiber intake for the day.

 

Breakfast is linked to a healthy body weight

People who regularly eat breakfast have healthier body weights than those who skip breakfast. Studies show that eating cereal as part of a nutritious breakfast promotes a healthy weight in both children and adults.1,2,3

 

Children who eat breakfast perform better at school

A number of studies show that eating breakfast is associated with improved memory skills, better test grades and greater school attendance rates. Additionally, children who don't eat breakfast may feel tired and hungry, and find it difficult to concentrate and learn.1

 

People who eat breakfast have healthier lifestyle behaviors

Children and adults who eat breakfast tend to make healthy food choices throughout the day and are more physically active than those who skip breakfast.1,2,3
