What did you have for breakfast this morning? Was it toast with jam, bowl of fibre rich cereal with milk, muesli, yogurt, protein shake, bacon and eggs, muffin, coffee, cigarette and a coke or NOTHING! I don’t need to reiterate the benefits of breakfast. Health gurus, nutritionists and doctors all tell us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Most people are educated enough to know not to skip breakfast. The issue lies in determining whether your choice of breakfast is healthy and the correct one for YOU.

What I have learnt from being a mother of three is that we tend to parent the same way we were brought up. As a child, I was shown love primarily through food. The amount of food I accepted was my way of showing love, as this was how love was expressed to me. I sometimes find myself doing the same with my sons.
