Are you skipping breakfast to be on time at work? Instead, bring a banana or sandwich on your way to work as breakfast proved to be beneficial to one’s happiness.

In a survey by market research firm Leisure Trends Group, people who eat breakfast are happier at work than those who do not. A breakfast eater also had better health, happier family relationships, fuller leisure times and manages finances better.

“…employers [should] provide breakfast as a morale builder and a way to encourage happier, more productive workers.” Leisure Trends suggested.

Though Leisure Trends only surveyed working people, the same effect goes to the kids.

“When they missed breakfast, the children were adversely affected in their performance.” said Donald Simeon from the University of the West Indies who conducted a study in Jamaican children aged nine to 10.
