September
Happy National Breakfast
Month
With our
fast-paced lifestyles, breakfast is often neglected or skipped. Breakfast should be the first meal of
the day as a way to feed your body with nourishment, spark your metabolism,
give you energy and get your brain functioning. The word breakfast literally
means breaking the fast after one has not eaten since the night before.
September is National Breakfast Month and this annual campaign emphasizes
the importance of eating a healthy breakfast every day. This holiday celebrates
many different types of breakfast from around the world. Don’t make breakfast a
low priority. Wake up to a healthy
breakfast as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle. So celebrate
National Breakfast Month by starting your day with a healthy breakfast.
