Improve Physical Endurance
If you’re an athlete, avid exerciser, or would simply like to be able to walk around more comfortably, breakfast can help you reach your goals quicker than you might imagine. Sports doctors and trainers point to the importance of “nutrient timing” for athletic performance, and for them the morning meal is by far the most important.
A good breakfast is built on healthy carbohydrates to replenish your muscle and liver glycogen stores. Since your muscles and nervous system can draw on carbohydrates more readily than other macronutrients (like fats and proteins), feeding them right off the bat will guarantee a better morning workout, but the benefits will stretch into very phase of your active day.
