It is so easy to skip a meal when we are on a hurry. This is prevalent mostly during breakfast since most people rush to work or go to school during this time.
Breakfast is perceived to be the most important meal of the day and this is believed to be true. You are on a fasting mode while you sleep and your first meal when you wake up is regarded as breaking a fast. Hence, not eating breakfast prolongs your fasting and can cause discomfort as you go through your day, not to mention the following side effects:
In a recent gathering, Mondelez Philippines, a company which aims to empower consumers to snack right and produces products that we are familiar with such as Tang powdered beverage, Eden Cheese and Cheez Whiz spread, Oreo cookies and Toblerone and Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolates, partnered withPhilippine Society of Nutritionist-Dietitians, Inc.’s (PSND) annual convention with the theme “Adding More Life to Years: An Integrative Approach to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Prevention.” NCDs refer to chronic diseases which may last for long periods of time and progress slowly like diabetes and obesity, among others. Speaking for the Company was Lim Chain Yin, Nutrition Strategy and Communications Specialist from Mondelēz International in Malaysia.

“Breakfast is important,” shares Lim. “It is the meal that energizes the body for the day ahead. It is supposed to “break the fast,” which is the time the body does not consume any food because of sleep. Apart from making up for the “fasting,” eating breakfast also promotes better concentration at school, work and play, prevents early exhaustion, and helps avoid mood swings, unnecessary cravings and hunger pangs by fueling up the body.”
She continues, “A balanced breakfast should contain all the food groups namely those which give energy, those which help in body building and repair, the ones which help in regulating normal body functions. For a common breakfast, this means having rice, bread, other grains or cereals, an egg and/or milk, and a piece of fruit.”

“belVita contains whole grain cereals, which are a main source of energy, and 8 vitamins and minerals which help regulate bodily functions,” explains Lim. “When paired with a source of protein like milk or yogurt and a fruit like an apple or a banana, it can provide a complete breakfast to keep you energized. What’s more, it’s a convenient breakfast because you can bring it on-the-go, even while on the way to work. This convenience helps to avoid skipping breakfast and ensure you get the right nutrients despite your busy day.”
