  早餐,作为当中最重要的一顿饭,有多少人是以认真的态度对待了。早餐要吃好?可是这个吃好是个什么概念呢?不论是成年人还是小孩子,早餐的确是人这活动的基础。每天吃一顿营养早餐对身体健康非常重要。

  但是近来调查显示:英国人平均每天花费在吃早餐上的时间仅用了3分钟15秒,有的时候还经常是站着吃完。生活在紧张忙碌的大都市,越来越多的人们减少至少免去了吃早餐的习惯,这样长久下去,吃的早餐营养成分不均衡,就会导致健康状况的问题。如果不吃早餐就会影响到肠胃,还容易衰老。调查中很多人表示知道吃早餐的重要性,但还是因为种种原因没能吃上早餐,不过,很多人都表示,即使是时间再紧还是会努力找出时间来吃早餐。

  It's supposed to be the most important meal of the day.

  But on average we spend just three minutes and 15 seconds on a weekday breakfast – and we're so pressed for time that we often eat it standing up.

  In fact, only half of us eat breakfast at all, research shows. Many prefer to have a lie-in, while others blame the growing pressure to get to work early.

  Only a third of us now eat breakfast in the kitchen. Some resort to eating it in the bedroom, or even the bathroom, with 22 percent getting dressed at the same time.

  Around a fifth manage to eat only half their breakfast because they have so little time, while more than a third say they eat their first meal of the day on the bus or train.

  In Birmingham, 59 percent said they were too busy on the internet or watching TV in the morning to eat breakfast.

  In London 57 percent said the same, and 52 percent of people from Bristol and 51 percent of Mancunians agreed.

  One in seven eat at their desk at least one morning a week – and one in five confess to grabbing something as they run out of the door and eating it while they walk down the street.

  But three-quarters still said it was the most important meal of the day, and seven in ten always have a hot breakfast, according to the survey commissioned by Weetabix.

  Sian Porter, a company spokesman, said: 'Encouragingly, the research indicated that possibly 1.2million of us find time to eat a hot breakfast every single morning and demonstrates that Brits do understand the importance of breakfast, even going as far as eating it on the bus, or in the bathroom, to try and fit it in.'
