Healthy challenge: breakfast
Sounds obvious, but while you sleep your body ‘fasts’, and when you wake up it needs to refuel. ‘Breaking the fast’ and refuelling with a good breakfast is really important if you’re going to function well in the day!
Our top three reasons to eat a good breakfast:
*It helps you focus and work better.
*It controls mood and energy swings by kickstarting your metabolism, stabilising your blood sugar levels and giving you the energy you need to get through the day.
*You’ll be less likely to dash to the snack machine later in the day for a high sugar or high fat snack.

Mornings can be a rushed time for many of us, but by taking a moment to give your body quality fuel you’ll be setting yourself up for the day ahead. Here are some ideas for getting a healthy, nutritious breakfast in if you have to eat on the run:
*Keep your cupboard, fridge and fruit bowl stocked with healthy breakfast options.
*Instead of falling back on pastries and other high fat, low fibre counter food when you stop for your morning coffee, keep a stash of low fat bran and fruit muffins in your freezer you can throw in the microwave while you’re getting ready for work.
*Keep a box of high fibre, low fat cereal at work if you’ve no option but to eat at your desk.
*Have a bag of dried fruit and nuts in your car/handbag for emergency snacking.
