Explained in plain English

Why does breakfast matter?

The story suggests that your breakfast choices can significantly influence how your body handles glucose throughout the entire day. Specifically, high morning glucagon levels, potentially influenced by what you eat, can hinder your liver's ability to store sugar from subsequent meals. This means a good breakfast isn't just about starting your day; it sets the stage for your body's sugar processing later on.
