Breakfast is often called ‘the most important meal of the day’. It not only breaks the overnight fasting period but also helps in replenishing our energy levels so that we can function efficiently throughout the day. The old saying, “Breakfast like a king; lunch like a prince; dinner like a pauper” is true as one should never skip or compromise on their breakfast meal.
