February is Hot Breakfast Month!

Who doesn’t love a hot breakfast with all the fixings? Whether you crave pancakes and maple syrup in the morning, or you prefer savoury tastes such as scrambled eggs, a (healthy!) hot breakfast is good for us in so many ways.

We know that breakfast is important for us, and it seems that every other day there’s a new study showing why. Here are some results of a few recent studies.

• Kindergarteners who eat breakfast on a near-daily basis have higher IQs than kindergarteners who only eat breakfast sometimes.
• In a study on male teenagers, eating breakfast was shown to contribute to a higher bone-mineral density.
• Adults who eat breakfast acquire more healthy nutrients such as vitamin D, iron, and calcium, as well as fibre.
• Regularly skipping breakfast may negatively affect our cardiometabolic health.
• Breakfast can keep us feeling full for longer, so we eat less later in the day.
