Once I flew the coop after high school off to college, and ever since, I’ve rarely been a breakfast eater, much less a healthy one. I then, not coincidentally, began experiencing “regularity” issues that are entirely my own fault. My GI doc has also impressed upon me the importance of having a bowl of cereal high in fiber, i.e. Raisin Bran, as well as a Fiber One bar, or one of its equivalents, every morning for breakfast. He also told me that it begins to set your metabolism in motion for the day and, along with eating healthier in general, will generally help you lose extra weight, of which I’ve been holding on to in various quantities since high school.

So, is eating breakfast important? I suppose it is. I guess I’ll see how things progress from here with my new mandate of breakfast every morning. Here’s to getting up a bit earlier everyday.
