Breakfast - Page 4

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, typically eaten in the morning after a period of overnight fasting. The word "breakfast" derives from the practice of breaking the fast that occurs during sleep. It often includes a variety of foods, which can vary widely by culture and personal preference. Common breakfast items may include eggs, cereal, bread, fruit, yogurt, and beverages like coffee, tea, or juice. The meal serves not only to provide essential nutrients and energy for the day's activities but also often has social and cultural significance, being an opportunity for family or communal gatherings.
