1. Diabetes: Skipping breakfast may increase a woman’s diabetes risk, according to a June 2013 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Missing even one breakfast each week increases your risk of type 2 diabetes by 20 percent, the study showed.

Perry’s offers a Power Breakfast, with grapefruit, maple almonds, dried fruit & seasonal berries served with choice of yogurt and topped with agave nectar.

2. Weight Loss: In one study, people who ate breakfast as their largest meal lost an average of 17.8 pounds over three months. Other study participants consumed the same number of total calories per day, but ate most of their calories at dinner. The large dinner group only lost an average of 7.3 pounds each over the same time period.

For a big, and satisfying, breakfast, you won’t go wrong with Perry’s Banana Foster French Toast. This meal is served with caramel, bananas, maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream.

3. Heart Disease: Eating breakfast was associated with a lower incidence of heart disease in men between ages 45 and 82, according to a July 2013 study in the medical journal “Circulation”. The study also found that skipping breakfast was associated with hypertension, insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar levels.
