Skipping breakfast. We've all done it once and a while. Maybe you were running late for an appointment or for class, and just didn't have time to eat. Or maybe, you're just not a breakfast person.
Either way, you didn't put any food into your stomach.
Your mindset may be, oh well, I'll eat later, it's not a big deal.
But it is a big deal.
Nutritionist Jodi Godfrey explains: "After 8 hours of sleeping, you're breaking a fast. Your body needs fuel. From our necks down, our bodies can break down muscles and fats. You're brain can't do that. It needs to be fueled by food. Without breakfast, your brain isn't on."

This means that you won't be able to focus as well in class, or do well through out the day. The most productive thing you can do for yourself in the morning is eat breakfast. So next time when you're walking (or for most of you-running) out the door on the way to class, stop and grab a banana. It may just boost your grade on that test you forgot to study for:)
