The Important of Having Breakfast (Title)

In a busy morning, people tent to skip their breakfast. Actually, there are many
benefits of having breakfast. Here are two reasons why it is important. (Thesis)

Having breakfast helps us feel more focused for the coming way. When we study at
school and didn’t have breakfast before, we will more likely to not focus during the
lesson. There’s nothing worse than being constantly aware that you are hungry and
counting the minutes until lunchtime. Having breakfast in the morning not only fuels
the essential energy to function and focus better on tasks, so we can concentrate more.

Having breakfast will also control our appetite. If we don’t eat breakfast, we are much
more likely to end up snacking throughout the morning, which cold pile up the
unhealthy calories! Stay away from overly-refined snacks with added sugar, so if you
do feel like snacking, have some slices of fruits. (Argument)

The two reasons above, to help us feel more focused and to control our appetite are
only some of many reasons out there on why having breakfast is important. There are
indeed many other benefits of having breakfast. (Reiteration)
