Breakfast sets you up with energy to start your day. It depends on the origin of your energy. Not all food is created equal.
High-sugar and fatty foods such as donuts will drain your energy immediately after you eat them. Donuts are high in sugar, fat and calories. During the digestion process, the body has to pump a lot of insulin to absorb all the sugar in a donut. You will feel a sugar rush followed by a crash in your energy level. You will also feel hungry for another donut or something sweet very soon.
A healthy breakfast could be nuts, seeds and berries. The body uses less insulin during the digestion process to absorb these all-natural and low-fat foods. The digestion process happens slowly for foods like this. Also, you will feel an increased energy level to start your day. Seeds, nuts, and berries contain lots of fiber which makes you feel fuller. They also contain antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
