Newsletter Issue #15 - Breakfast: The Habit That Refuses to Go Away
Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?
Breakfast is one of nutrition's most enduring debates, and this week on After Hours with Dr Vincent, we revisit the science with fresh eyes. We explore what decades of research tell us about breakfast and cognitive performance, why quality matters more than simply eating first thing, and how the modern obsession with health data can sometimes create more anxiety than better health. Along the way, we discuss sleep, sustainable habits and why the best health advice is often the advice you can actually stick with for life.
We also answer a listener's question about whether sugary breakfasts are acceptable if you're active, comparing popular cereals, explaining how much exercise it takes to burn them off, and why reading nutrition labels is so important. Plus, we examine the role of coffee in your morning routine, including the best time to enjoy your first cup, and share practical ways to use Activated Greens Plus+ to bridge everyday nutritional gaps. It's a reminder that lasting health isn't built on extreme routines, but on small, repeatable choices that work with your body rather than against it.
With my best
