Between work, school, and other life obligations, mornings can get pretty jam-packed, tempting you to skip breakfast or pop into the drive-thru. The problem is, while it may seem harmless at the time, not paying attention to breakfast can negatively affect your health.
"People who skip breakfast have a higher BMI, higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and a higher chance of getting heart disease," explains Maryland dietitian Leah Roberts, RD.
On the flip side, eating a nutritious, well-balanced breakfast can help manage your weight, supercharge your brain, and put more pep in your step. With that in mind, try these easy ways to make the most of your morning meal.
