Eat breakfast - or die...


You really should eat your breakfast - especially if you’re a man. 

According to study by Leah Cahill and the Harvard School of Public Health, skipping breakfast may lead to one or more risk factors, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, which may in turn lead to a heart attack over time. The study found that men who did not eat breakfast had a 27% higher risk of heart attack or death from coronary heart disease than men who did.

The breakfast skippers tended to be younger, full time workers. They also had a tendency to exercise less and drink and smoke more. So what should you guys be eating for breakfast? Wholegrain toast, or cereals like porridge with low-fat milk are good options. Toss some dried fruit or a sliced banana on there and you’re off to a good start.
