The Importance Of A Healthy Breakfast To The Day's Productivity

Life in Nigerian cities could be very hectic. On a busy working day, it is common for many workers to skip breakfast and replace a healthy meal with a strong dose of caffeine. What they fail to realise is that a healthy breakfast will, in fact help to boost their concentration and, in turn, maximise their productivity.
It is also common for us to avoid food when we are nervous, for example, before an interview for a job we have our heart set on. However, if we are not focused due to having an empty stomach, we are less likely to succeed in the interview and could consequently miss out on the chance of a lifetime.
By keeping hunger pangs at bay, we are able to work more effectively and are more attentive; we all want and, indeed, need to work at our best in order to achieve results and achieve for ourselves. If we do not perform at our best, we risk losing business for our companies and, in turn, will not progress in our chosen career.
Eating healthily will help us avoid making mistakes and will help to ensure that we are successful. Essentially breakfast provides the fuel we need to function, much like a car needs petrol to run. By skipping breakfast, we are literally running on empty tank.
Research has shown that if the key nutrients the body needs such as calcium, iron B vitamins, protein and fibre are not consumed as part of a healthy breakfast they are less likely to be compensated for later in the day.
