Full Proof Nutrition Research Spotlight aims to make the findings of complex research, accessible to a broader audience to help them better understand research findings and make informed decisions. This week, we summarize the findings of a study that examined the link between breakfast consumption of mental health.

- They found that people who did not eat breakfast were more likely to have depression, stress, and mental distress. Also, teenagers who skipped breakfast had more anxiety.
- The study findings underline the impact of breakfast on mental health, emphasizing the importance of regular breakfast consumption.
