Whether you’re an early bird or a late sleeper, you might feel rushed when it comes to breakfast. It can be tempting to skip breakfast all together. But nutrition is important, even on busy mornings.
Food choices impact a number of health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Skipping meals can make stress-related symptoms, such as headaches or stomach tension, worse. That's why VA's Healthy Teaching Kitchen makes easy and nutritious recipes to fuel even your busiest mornings.
