I have a lot of sweet memories during at a time when I’m study in this school. Some of my sweet memories in this school is I got my UPSR exam with straight five A. There is a secret behind my success in the exam, one of the secret is having a breakfast before I start my day and later on I will talk about “Why breakfast is the important meal of the day?”

Breakfast literally means ‘break the fast’; the first meal of the day.¹ Breakfast is the meal for breaking the fast for the day after eight until nine hours of sleeping. During the sleep hours, a time for our body and mind take a rest, we are not eating anything, and we only have dreaming or nothing. Because of that, the energy reserves inside your body getting low after wake up. In the morning, again both our body and the mind need sufficient energy to function properly.

    Intermittent Fasting can have many health benefits, as well as aid in fat and overall weight loss. Many people across the world practice fasting at times, but this is mostly for reasons that have to do with religion. For example, Muslims will do a half day fast during Ramadan, while Catholics fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. This is only for a short time though and usually only once a year. Almost everyone fasts daily, when they are sleeping, but Intermittent Fasting (or IF) takes that time and increases it. Some versions follow a one day on one day off protocol, others will have you fast 24 hours twice a week, and another popular version is fasting every day for 16 hours, while eating 8 (St. Pierre and Birardi 1-2). Most nutritionist and health experts say that the key to a healthy diet is many small meals throughout the day. There is very little, if any, research proving that to be true. In fact, recent studies have shown just the opposite to be true. That IF, decreasing the amount of time you spend eating, has improved health and lead to fat and weight loss.…

    There is a tremendous amount of research done on the benefits of eating a health breakfast not only for adults, but children as well. Researchers have found that when healthy, lean women skipped their morning meal, it raised their cholesterol levels and diminished their bodies’ sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. In addition, the women tended to eat more calories on breakfast-free days, suggesting that over time, skipping breakfast could spur weight gain. Past studies have also suggested that women who eat breakfast,…
