[Seniors] 3 Reasons NEVER to Skip Breakfast
Dear Turapür Today Reader,
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
We’ve heard this old adage since we were kids (heck, I still remember my mother nagging me about it).
But as we age, your busy lifestyle takes priority over eating breakfast. And for most older adults, we usually feel okay if we don’t get in breakfast each day.
If you find yourself skipping breakfast more often than not, there’s new research to suggest you may need to start making time for that ‘most important’ meal of the day.
In fact, findings now show you could be missing out on three, critical health factors by NOT eating breakfast.
According to a new study out of Ohio State University, older adults who skip breakfast miss out on FOUR key nutrients that are most abundant in common breakfast foods.
Those four nutrients are…
Calcium (in milk) … vitamin C (in fruit), and a combination of fiber, vitamins, and minerals (in oatmeal).
You see, by ditching breakfast, the study found that your body could be very LOW on these essential nutrients the rest of your day.
Researchers in the study also found that you’re less likely to ‘make up’ for missing those key nutrients later in the day.
Think about it…
If you skip a breakfast of oatmeal and fruit, there’s a very good chance you’re not going to make great food choices for the rest of the day.

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
And as you age, it’s important to not slack on your intake of these nutrients as they are all critical for your overall health.
The single best way to avoid this nutrient pitfall is to take your mom’s advice and make time for breakfast.
Remember, eating a healthy breakfast doesn’t require that you make a feast. Whole grains like oats and millet are chock full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Top the cereal with a handful of sweet berries and some milk and you have all your nutrients covered!
And if you are strapped for time and can’t eat a cooked breakfast, grab a piece of organically grown fruit to ensure you’re getting plenty of vitamins and minerals.
