Host: What advantages do breakfast eaters have?

Elizabeth Rahavi: Breakfast eaters have a lot of advantages over people who don't eat breakfast. Recent studies have shown that people who eat breakfast regularly have an easier time loosing weight and also maintaining a weight loss. Studies have also shown that people who eat breakfast have an easier time reducing their risk of cancer as well as heart disease. If you refuel your body in the morning you are giving yourself the opportunity to increase your concentration that can help you go through your day much easier. And if you eat breakfast in the morning you can help reduce the amount of overeating that you might do it other times during the day, if your stomach wasn't full from having food in the morning.
