Whether exercise is part of your morning routine or not, a hearty breakfast should be. A study conducted by UCLA reveals that death rates were 40% higher among men and 28% higher among women who "rarely or sometimes" ate breakfast, compared to those who ate breakfast "nearly every day." Also, regular breakfasters remain more productive well into the morning, have a faster reaction time and suffer less muscular fatigue then their more abstemious colleagues.
What constitutes a good breakfast? For fiber and B-vitamins, choose wholegrain bread or cereal. For vitamin C, try fruit, fruit juice or fruit salad. For protein, low-fat dairy products or tofu. Classic favorites such as bacon and eggs are too high in fat.
