Breakfast is not just any ordinary meal. It is a declaration of self-care, a commitment to a healthier, more productive, and more energetic day. The importance of breakfast food cannot be overstated, and if you are still not convinced, here are the top five reasons why breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

It's a Veggie-ful Start

Starting the day with a nutritious breakfast helps you hit your daily recommended servings of fruit and vegetables with a one-two punch. Eating breakfast can be like starting the day with a green smoothie, but with a fork and knife. Incorporating milk into your breakfast is also a great way to get in essential vitamins and minerals. Milk is like nature's own energy drink, full of calcium and other essential vitamins.

Glucose, Don't Lose This

Eating breakfast helps balance blood sugar levels and avoid glucose fluctuations throughout the day. This is because breakfast helps regulate insulin levels and prevent dips and spikes in glucose levels. It's like your body's morning coffee, but without the jitters. By stabilizing glucose levels, you'll have a more consistent energy source throughout the day.

Metabolism, Set, Go!

Eating breakfast jump-starts your metabolism, allowing you to burn calories all day long. It's like a morning workout, but without the sweat. Breakfast provides your body with the energy it needs to tackle the day, so you don't feel sluggish or tired. People who eat breakfast tend to be more active and alert in the morning, which can help prevent weight gain and fatigue.

Energy to Burn

Breakfast gives you the energy you need to tackle the day. People who eat breakfast tend to be more active and alert in the morning, and that activity helps prevent weight gain and fatigue. It's like a morning caffeine shot, but without the crash. By eating breakfast, you are fueling your body with essential vitamins and minerals, providing you with the energy and nutrients you need to start the day off right.

Hearty, Healthy Heart

Skipping breakfast can lead to weight gain, high cholesterol and blood pressure, which can contribute to heart disease. Breakfast, on the other hand, helps keep your heart healthy and happy. It's like a love letter to your heart, but with oatmeal. Eating breakfast provides your body with essential nutrients, such as fiber, protein, and healthy fats, that can help lower cholesterol levels and keep your heart healthy.

Brain Boost

Breakfast stabilizes glucose levels and can help improve your focus, reason, and processing ability. It's like a morning brain workout, but with eggs and bacon. By eating breakfast, you are providing your brain with the energy it needs to function at its best. Research has shown that people who eat breakfast tend to perform better on cognitive tests, have better memory retention, and are better able to concentrate throughout the day.

In conclusion, quick breakfast ideas and implementing them are the most important of the day for many reasons. By eating nutritious breakfast food, you are fueling your body with essential vitamins and minerals, helping you maintain a healthy weight, and providing your brain with the energy it needs to function at its best. So, don't skip this meal, or you'll be missing out on all the health benefits, and maybe even a laugh or two. Start your day off right, with a veggie-ful, glucose-friendly, metabolism-boosting, energy-providing, and heart-healthy breakfast.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
