Breakfast is the first meal after several hours of overnight fasting. For this reason, eating a healthy breakfast provides energy to start the day and helps keep the metabolism active. In addition, a good breakfast improves concentration and mental performance. On the other hand, several studies claim that skipping breakfast can lead to overeating during the rest of the day, as prolonged periods of fasting increase appetite and cravings for unhealthy, high-calorie foods.
