Why is it important to have breakfast in the morning?

Although many skip it, it is known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

It is the most efficient in shaking off the drowsiness, especially if it contains a balanced composition of nutritious ingredients, but many claim that they can't eat anything early in the morning. A person needs to get used to a large meal or eat as soon as they get up.

Aside from being healthy and pleasant, the habit can help suppress a rather inconvenient side-effect.

People who don't eat breakfast often have too many bacteria in their mouth, causing bad breath. If they ate breakfast, the food would absorb the bacteria, thereby rinsing the mouth in a way, Index reports.

Dr Mervyn Druian of the London Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry says that skipping breakfast is one of the worst dirty habits for bad breath as it leaves the morning mouth dry, allowing bacteria to linger.

However, the effect will not be the same with a cereal bar, because the sugar creates an even greater environment for bacteria to grow.

It would be ideal to start the day with water and fruit, and then some seeds, followed by regular breakfast food. This would address two issues simultaneously – bad breath and bad eating habits.
