Why breakfast is important? Explains Sachin Karpe

A person's breakfast habit decides if his/her body goes into burning (high BMR) or storing (low BMR, high fat-storing) mode. Nutritionist Sachin Karpe says,"You break your night-long fast with this meal. 

It provides 25% of the total energy and nutrients required by the body. It will boost your energy levels and concentration." No breakfast means a sluggish start to the day. 

It also makes a person eat larger meals in the course of the day. The first meal of the day should be a perfect combination of carbohydrates, protein and fibre. An ideal breakfast must include all the "five pillars of nutrition. Never start your day with caffeine. Eat something (fruit/biscuit/plain milk) first and about 20 minutes later, have tea or coffee.
