Don't Skip Breakfast
A new study from the University of Bath explored the effect that breakfast had on several subjects. The researchers divided participants into two groups, one that ate breakfast and one that fasted until 12 p.m. Those who ate breakfast had better blood sugar control throughout the day and were more active than the group that fasted. The lead author of the study, Dr. James Betts, says that the most important take-away from this study is that people who eat breakfast burn more calories than those who skip it.
