Kickstart the day with a healthy breakfast

Kickstart the day with a healthy breakfast

A good breakfast gives you energy, it starts your metabolism and your blood sugar level remains more stable. We give you 3 more reasons to have a hearty breakfast.

1. You burn more calories

Eat your breakfast no more than two hours after you wake up. This gives your metabolism a kickstart, so that it can function optimally for the rest of the day and therefore burn calories.

2. You feel satiated

By having a hearty breakfast in the morning, you will feel fuller and more satiated for longer, so you will be less likely to snack. You also choose healthy and low-calorie products for lunch more quickly, since you won't fall over from hunger.

3. You can concentrate better

Your brain mainly gets energy from glucose. Because you didn't eat at night, your brain needs a new supply of energy from glucose in the morning to function optimally.
