"As you sleep, your body continues to burn calories as it restores itself through rest. That sounds great, right? However, after 8 to 12 hours of sleep-imposed fasting, your body wakes up hungry for more fuel. Even though your glucose levels are low and you need energy for the day, sugary breakfast options aren't the best choice. Your body can make glucose, so you don't need to eat that much."
"Instead, you should break your fast with the essential nutrients your body can't produce for itself, like fiber, protein, and healthy fats. After all, studies have shown that the brain functions at its best when running on fats rather than sugar. Eating breakfast essentially restarts your body in the morning. So the infusion of the right kind of food can set you up with high energy for the rest of the day."
Breakfast replenishes energy and nutrients after an overnight 8 to 12 hour fast and supports daily productivity and weight management. Overnight fasting lowers glucose, but the body can produce glucose; sugary breakfasts provide excess simple sugar while lacking essential nutrients. Prioritize fiber, protein, and healthy fats that the body cannot synthesize. Fats support optimal brain function better than sugar. A proper morning meal effectively restarts metabolism and sustains energy. Skipping breakfast often leads to mid-morning processed snacks high in refined carbohydrates, causing rapid energy spikes and crashes, depletion, cravings, and adverse blood-sugar swings. Extra unhealthy calories partly contribute to health risks from skipping breakfast.
