One of the meals that is often skimped oh is breakfast Breakfast is the most im r - ; - - body s supply of fuel for the Drain and central nervous system is at its lowest ebb in the morning. Starting off with meal that has adequate protein. calories, vitamins and minerals is a must. People who skimp on break fast, or skip it entirely, are most likely to be irritable, nervous and inefficient at whatever they do. Starting with a good break fast will make it easier for a person to stick to a basic diet for the rest of the day. Be ware of a cup of coffee and a glass of juice, because that just won't do. For older people who are watching their weight, nutritionists suggest such a breakfast as this: Orange juice, a soft-boiled, a slice of whole wheat bread with butter or margarine and a glass of skim milk. Because of their high content of saturated fats and cholesterol, such common breakfast items as bacon, ham, saugages, and fried and scrambled eggs should be eaten sparingly.
