Break a fast

I love breakfast. Most mornings I have an egg, a few bites of whole grain cereal with milk, and some juice. Oh yah, some dirt too (the AZOMITE dirt I mentioned early on in this blog). I like telling people, especially my kids, about how good it is to have protein at start of day, and about the importance of eating breakfast. So here goes - for at least a couple of blog entries --

At the 2003 American Heart Association conference it was reported that people who eat breakfast are significantly less likely to be obese and diabetic than those who usually don’t.

In their study, researchers found that obesity and insulin resistance syndrome rates were 35 percent to 50 percent lower among people who ate breakfast every day compared to those who frequently skipped it.

“Our results suggest that breakfast may really be the most important meal of the day,” says Mark A. Pereira, Ph.D., a research associate at Children’s Hospital in Boston and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. “It appears that breakfast may play an important role in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.” [http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3009715]
