Start Your Morning Off Right!

Breakfast boosts memory, improves your mood, and can help control your weight.  A numer of research studies have found that students who eat breakfast score higher on tests.  The same is true for adults.  People who eat breakfast also are generally thinner.  Start the day with a healthy breakfast like high-fiber cereal or oatmeal and a glass of juice.  If you'e not much of a breakfast eater, try having a "smoothie" for your morning meal-blend a bannana, low-fat yogurt, and orange juice together.
