Have you ever thought about all the different types of cereals out there? Trix, Lucky Charms, Honey Bunches of Oats, Fruity Pebbles. What is your favorite? If i had to chose, i would say that my top three are Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Captain Crunch, and lastly Cheerios. Not only are there cereals out there, but pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, and all that good stuff. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gets you going in the morning and it gives your body the nutrition that it needs. Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast are more healthy and fit, and also get better grades because they are able to be more focused. Next time you think you don't need to eat breakfast, or you say you dont have time, grab something like a piece of fruit. Its always good to start your day with something in your stomach.

It is good to start out with breakfast. However, it is not good to start out with Trix, Lucky Charms, Honey Bunches of Oats, or Fruity Pebbles. Those "cereals" are pretty much all refined sugar and grains. Those are high on the glycemic index (absorbed quickly), so they will not last you long and cause blood sugar instability, which chronically leads to diabetes type 2. Look for whole grain breakfast cereals or another, healthier food entirely for breakfast.
I usually add freshly ground flax to my breakfast, which is loaded with omega 3 essential fatty acids (particularly alpha-linolenic acid, the kind not so abundant in fish), fiber, and high quality protein.
i agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but choosing foods that are packed with sugar, instead of freshly cut fruits and whole grain cereal is not a smart move.
