What to do

Eat something within 2 hours of waking up — anything counts. The habit is breaking the fast, not perfection.

Why it works

Breakfast consumption is associated with improved concentration, better blood sugar control, and reduced likelihood of overeating later in the day. Regular breakfast eaters have better overall nutrient intake.

Research backing

A 2025 population study in Public Health Nutrition examined breakfast skipping in children and adolescents and found associations between regular breakfast consumption and improved measures of academic performance and behavioural regulation.
