Breakfast Week is organised by HGCA on behalf of UK cereal farmers and producers, who grow and make the foods we all enjoy at breakfast. It aims to encourage people to recognise the health benefits of eating breakfast regularly. Chef Phil Vickery, as seen on This Morning, is fronting the campaign.
Research shows that eating breakfast can give you more energy, help reduce stress levels, improve concentration, mood and may even help you to manage your weight,,,. However, a survey conducted for Breakfast Week shows that a worrying quarter (25%) of people are skipping breakfast once or more during the week, with more than one in ten (13%) never eating it. In schools, despite the number of breakfast clubs being on the rise, one in seven children are still going to school hungry.
