The ideal breakfast, say scientists, is a glass of orange juice, a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal. People who start the day with a drink of vitamin C, a dose of caffeine and their favorite cereal are happier and perform better 1 the morning. Andy Smith, Professor at the University of Bristol, said, “A study of 600 people who were asked to record their breakfast habits found that those who regularly ate cereal in the morning had a more positive mood compared with those who ate other foods or had no breakfast. Earlier research had shown that people whose 2 performance was measured 3 after eating breakfast of any kind performed 10 percent better on test of remembering, speed of response and 4 to concentrate, as compared with those given only a cup of decaffeinated coffee.”
In further research, Professor Smith said that people who drank four cups of coffee a day performed more 5 all day than those who drank less. He suggested that sensible employers should give out free coffee or tea.
