Eating breakfast as many of you have heard helps you throughout the day because eating in the morning stabilizes your brain and helps it stay awake throughout the day. Now you can't eat any random food such as a burger or slice of pizza in the morning.

Eating an apple or drinking orange juice, which is rich in vitamin C, helps your body function and brain think.
Many of you might have heard of people getting breakouts or pimples on their skin.
