Breakfast

Breakfast the first meal of the day - the word is a compound of "break" and "fast," referring to the conclusion of fasting since the previous day's last meal. Nutritional experts have referred to breakfast as the most important meal of the day, studies showing that people who skip breakfast are likely to have problems with concentration, metabolism, and weight.

So kickstart your day with almonds!
