Researchers at the Harvard Medical School discovered that people who took daily breakfast were a third less likely to become obese than those who skipped this meal. This is because eating first thing in the morning is believed to help regulate appetite and enhance energy. Breakfast eaters are also less likely to be hungry throughout the day and hence, less likely to overeat.

Having breakfast is also believed to keep blood sugar in check – this prevents diabetes or high cholesterol, which in turn, prevents heart disease. The best benefits, say the researchers, comes from eating whole grain cerealsfor breakfast. Whole grain cereals are rich in fiber, which stabilizes blood sugar, curbs appetite and keeps the heart healthy.

However, it is still important to not overeat for breakfast as this burdens the digestive system and stops it from working optimally.

Nutritional Immunology urges that a healthy breakfast should be highly nutritious without burdening the immune and digestive systems. Nutrients such as phytochemicals and fiber are ideal. Eating ingredients such as ginseng berry, soy and psyllium husk in the morning supplies the body with an ideal amount of phytochemicals and fiber.
