Why you just shouldn't skip BREAKFAST

In fact, I can still remember my mom throwing a bagel to me as I would jump into my car and drive off to high school, pleading with me that I needed to start the day out right! And I remember choking down that bagel, not feeling any better about the choice. But hey, you get older, you get wiser and you get tired, yep tired....TIRED of feeling sluggish in the middle of your day. You know the feeling?
