More Energy
We may love our morning coffee but that pick me up doesn’t last all day. Our glucose stores drop overnight and are low in the morning – we have no energy. Our bodies need energy. We need food with nutrients.
Improves Concentration
Sleeping overnight is the longest period of time our body goes without food. Your brain needs fuel too. Studies have shown a healthy breakfast improves memory, concentration, and attention. These are good things for every truck driver. We can easily make a case that a healthy breakfast is good for safety.
