Eat best breakfast to start the day has become a good habit. It’s a fabolous way to start my day off healthfully. The sugar hit from the fruit wakes me up and bring me power to make on the morning. Sugar is more vilified as the root of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is great for your digestive system and helps keep you feeling full longer, and less likely grab a side food out of the street food before lunchtime.

Making fruit a morning habit is simple . Easy as put the sweetness in your refrigerator next to the sweet drink or on the bench next to your cereal bowl , or move your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll find it. Before you eat the rest of your food , eat your fruit. If you’re not usually a breakfast person.
