To get your digestive system off to a great start every day, it’s important to enjoy a healthy first meal of the day. That said, unlike what you may have learned growing up, that meal may not necessarily be breakfast. Call it what you like and start when it’s right for you. The key is to ensure that when you do start eating every day, you make nutritious choices.
Research has shown that while breakfast is absolutely integral for some people, it can be optional for others. This was quite surprising when it was always assumed that this early meal is the key to getting the day right. As it turns out, as long as you have a healthy first meal of the day, it doesn’t matter if you have it soon after waking in the morning, or several hours later because you’re intermittent fasting.
