Haven't you heard about the popular phrase that says, "you must have breakfast like a king"? 'Breakfast' means 'breaking the fast', as you might be sleeping straight for seven-eight hours without food; and whatever you eat the following morning, ends your fast.

As per Ayurveda, breakfast is one of the most important meals of our daily health needs and skipping it is a big no-no, if you want to lead a healthy life. What you have for your breakfast decides the amount of energy you'll be receiving that particular day.

So, it is necessary that you keep in mind the kind of foods that you consume before your day's beginning. According to Ayurveda, one way which will help you avoid the habit of skipping breakfast is by including fruits and juices into your diet.

This will keep you hydrated all day long and will help you kick-start your day on a good note. Consuming fruits in the morning is the best way to reap out its maximum benefits, and fruits also aid in a proper digestion process.
