National Hot Breakfast Month

February is National Hot Breakfast Month and The Plaza North has all you need to get that very important first meal of the day.

Any nutritionist will tell you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is the first meal after the long night's sleep and it's an opportunity to refuel and recharge. Food is important for the development and maintenance of our bodies and brains - plus the day just goes better on a full stomach.

Eating a good breakfast might even help with weight control, as the body prefers getting food regularly instead of skipping meals and then overly bulking up the next time you eat or nibbling on high calorie snacks to keep from being hungry all morning.

As it turns out, February is National Hot Breakfast Month. It's appropriate since February is usually cold. What a better way to get warm than to have some hot food first thing in the morning?
