Why breakfast is the most important meal of the day

To really understand why breakfast matters so much in our daily lives, the nutrition experts at Zulal Wellness Resort by Chiva Som uncover why this meal is crucial, sharing tips on how to make it a vital part of a morning routine to boost overall health and well-being.

The term “breakfast” quite literally means breaking the fast – the overnight fasting period when our bodies rest and rejuvenate. Here’s why it’s crucial:

• Energy boost: Breakfast replenishes our glucose levels, providing the energy and alertness needed to kickstart our day.


• Nutrient intake: It delivers essential nutrients required for good health, including vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibre.


• Concentration and focus: Eating breakfast can improve short-term concentration and cognitive function.


• Weight management: Over the long term, it supports better weight management and reduces the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Despite the compelling benefits of breakfast, many people find themselves skipping it for a number of reasons. The good news is that you can train your body to embrace breakfast as a vital part of your daily routine.

For some, the thought of eating first thing in the morning can be daunting. Late-night meals, unappealing breakfast options, or a sensitive stomach may be the culprits. Here are some tips to help make breakfast more palatable:

• Lighter evening meals: opt for smaller, earlier evening meals to ensure you wake up hungry.


• Diversify breakfast options: experiment with new breakfast recipes and stock up on different foods to stimulate your appetite.


• Stay consistent: avoid shifting your breakfast to mid-morning or replacing it with snacks, as this can disrupt your body’s natural rhythm.

By gradually making these adjustments, you can train your body to welcome breakfast as a vital part of your day, reaping its numerous health benefits.
