Wake Up Your Brain

To perform at your best, you need to nourish your body from top to bottom, including your brain, with a nutritious breakfast, says Leslie Bonci, M.P.H., R.D., C.S.S.D., L.D.N., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and co-author of The Active Calorie Diet. It’s easier to concentrate and complete tasks at work and home when you’ve eaten a balanced morning meal rather than relying on coffee alone for brainpower.
