how do you feel at the end of the day?

OwlIf you need coffee during the day, or cocktails at the end of the day, it could be that you need a better breakfast at the beginning of the day.

Government studies show that people who have poor breakfasts, high in starch and sugar, and low in protein, suffer from lowered efficiency and fatigue in the afternoon.. . no matter what they have for lunch.

A protein breakfast also helps build will power to resist the urge for sweets during the day, sweets that are bad for your teeth and gums (and your figure).Owl

At a recent dental nutrition workshop, a periodontist reported a close relationship between poor breakfasts and the severity of gum disease.

Instead of having only toast, coffee, cereal, or danish pastry for breakfast, try adding meat, cheese, peanut butter, fish, or eggs —- for a better day and a healthier mouth.
