Breakfast...ALWAYS the start to a GREAT day

Breakfast is an extremely important part of starting your day off right.  It gives us the nutrients we need for most of the day and has been proven to help with attention, thinking ability and all-around good performance. For breakfast, have one egg, a bowl of oatmeal or an English muffin, and orange juice instead of a bagel with cream cheese and coffee on the go. Be sure to include fruit, such as honey dew melon, bananas and oranges, or as an alternative to a bagel, take a banana on the go.
