You could say that breakfast and I have an on/off sort of relationship. Many mornings, I'm so busy prepping for the day ahead and getting my small family out of the door to do much more than inhale a couple of cups of tea, while other days I'm starving and will set aside time (after the school run) for a morning feast - usually, some variation of eggs, cottage cheese and peanut butter...
But we all know that breakfast might just be the most important meal of the day, and it's especially important for me right now as I teeter on the edge of peri-menopause. Studies, such as this one, published in The Journal of Nutrition, show that eating before midday helps to regulate hormones, increases satiety and impacts metabolism, which can be sluggish in midlife.
