Famous Breakfast Around The World

Did you know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

Siega-Riz, Popkin and Carson (1998) defined breakfast as any food, beverages or both consumed anytime between 5am and 10am and not the first meal you had when you wake up, especially if you wake up at 12pm.

Kah!

Children who eat breakfast perform better at school. They have better cognition and concentration. Eating breakfast is like recharging your brain and body for the day.

Here's the tricky part. What to eat for breakfast?

You have to eat the right kind of food to sustain your hunger until lunch time. Foods like sugary cereals, pastries or other high sugar foods caused sugar/energy spike and leave you feeling drained and hungry before mid-day.

Chose to eat fruits, complex carbs or protein instead.

Eggs are good. It can be scrambled, boiled or made into omelette.

Let's see what are the common breakfast around the world. Shall we?
