JILLIAN’S TIP OF THE DAY

The Most Important Meal of the Day
I get it — we’re all busy and sometimes it’s hard to find the time to eat a healthy breakfast. Well, I’m here to tell you that not only is it important, it’s imperative to your health! Eating a hearty breakfast helps reduce levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, keeping you satisfied throughout the morning. If you’re always in a rush, leave a box of whole-grain cereal at your desk, or grab a coconut milk yogurt or an organic Greek yogurt on the way into work. Make it a point to fit breakfast into your schedule and you’ll feel energized and more productive for the rest of the day.
