Although you have been resting the whole night, your brain does not shut down and neither does your body._____1 Here are some of the top breakfast mistakes you must avoid.

____2_If you do not have enough time in the morning to prepare breakfast, lay out your breakfast the previous night or at least decide what to eat in the morning before you go to sleep. That way, you do not have to scramble around in the morning looking for things to eat. Stock up on juice and cereal,so you can finish breakfast in a few minutes.

You can eat cereals and milk for breakfast every morning because it is comfortable and does not take too much of your time.__3__Not only will you miss out on nutrients you can get from other stuff, but you will also get bored with it really quickly.

A lot of people wake up half an hour before they have to be at work and grab a bite to eat from the street vendor and eat when they are moving. Not only will you spill food all over you when you do this, but you will also run out of all the energy you get out of the food by running._____4

Food needs to be chewed properly before swallowing. Drinking juice or water to send down the food immediately can make you choke and also make the digestive process slower.__5__Eat slowly and remember that your health is more important than anything else that you may be doing. Only when you stay healthy can you do the things you want to do.
