Your morning routine starts with what you eat in the morning. Thus, your breakfast tones your whole day. Most people skip their breakfast or having a cup of tea or coffee is their whole breakfast. First of all, drinking just coffee or tea at any time in the day is harmful, especially when your stomach is empty. Because tea and coffee both promote the growth of acid in the stomach if taken when the stomach is empty or without anything else, which causes acidity.
Why Breakfast Is Important?
Breakfast makes you full for a long time, makes you productive and energetic all day. Breakfast should be protein-rich. A protein-rich breakfast keeps you energetic all day, and a protein-deficient breakfast makes you feel hungry early and less productive. As we have talked about earlier, our body is 70% of what we eat, if we eat healthy our body will be healthy and if we eat unhealthily our body will be unhealthy. As breakfast is our first meal of the day. Thus, taking and not taking breakfast has its own benefits and side effects respectively.
