Farmhouse Breakfast Week

22 - 28 January 2012

'Shake Up Your Wake Up!' is this year's challenge. We are all being encouraged to make small changes to our daily routine to encourage us to take the time to have a healthy breakfast.

Research suggests that breakfast eaters are less depressed and have lower levels of stress than breakfast skippers.

After a night's sleep, remember it will have been several hours since your body has had any fuel, so energy stores and blood sugar levels need to be topped up.

25% of your daily intake of food should come from eating breakfast

Breakfast eaters tend to be slimmer than breakfast skippers

Do you get hunger pangs around 11am and regularly reach for a snack?

Solution - Something as quick and easy as a bowl of cereal can make all the difference to how often you reach for a snack in the morning and help you manage your weight.
