I read an article yesterday that suggested we should be eating within 45 minutes of waking each day. It also explain that breakfast received it's name because it is the meal that breaks the fast we go into each night as part of sleeping. The same article suggested during the waking hours we should be eating some meal or snack every 4-5 hours. This concept of fasting each night actually made sense to me given that we should have nourishment every 4-5 hours. I was most intrigued by the name breakfast and where it comes from.... so I thought I'd share.

Now speaking of fasting - do any of you know how long you are supposed to fast before bloodwork. I can't remember if my dr told me to not eat for 12 hours or 8 hours. Therefore I haven't gone in for my bloodwork yet, but need to do so this week.
