A QUICK FIX HEALTHY BREAKFAST IS A KID'S PLAY WITH KITCHENAID

My younger Child Natasha, died of no Platelet Production in her body, a birth disorder (happens to one in a million) which led me to research on Platelets which are tiny elements in the blood that help us to not bleed to Death. For example if we get a cut, they can clump together within our arteries owing to Cholesterol or laque build up in the artery lining. There are most active in the morning and tend to form internal blood clots at a great frequency and eating breakfast prevents this activation associated with strokes and heart attacks! Unfortunately Natasha did not ever get a chance to even Breakfast as she was only 35 days old when she passed away. I dedicate this for the breakfast skippers; you should stop that habit now! Iam sure you may hear innumerous times that “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast. Studies have shown that as compared to Breakfast skippers, Breakfast eaters have one half the risk of Obesity ( metabolism slows while you sleep, and does not get back up until you eat again), strokes, heart attack and sudden death. Eating a healthy breakfast can also help regulate your appetite throughout the day so you don't overdo it at lunch and dinner or nibble unnecessarily.
