Why is Breakfast Called Breakfast?

It is a modern word that compounds the medieval expression “to break your fast”. Overnight, as we sleep, we go without food, or fast… when you rise in the morning and eat, you “break” this fast. Hence Break-fast."

Why is Breakfast Important?

Overnight your body has gone without water and energy (food) for around 8 hours. While sleep certainly replenishes you, your body’s metabolism needs a kick start in the morning. So breakfast is your first opportunity to hydrate and energize for the day.

Lots of breakfast foods contain vital nutrients (protein, fibre, calcium, iron and B vitamins) which give you a better focus at work and school. Without breakfast we are more likely to feel starving by mid morning and to reach for a quick high-fat or high-sugar snack which brings with it a quick energy boost followed by a big dip.

Breakfast ensures we balance our systems first thing.
