These 3 Vitamin B12-rich breakfast recipes help support energy, focus, and improve winter wellness.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day; it is the first meal that the body receives after a long time of fasting. This is the reason it is said not to skip breakfast, because the body needs a good intake of food to start the day. According to a study conducted by Frontiers in Pediatrics in 2024, skipping breakfast often leads to low energy and a lack of focus. When the body gets a good breakfast, it stabilises the metabolism, supports digestion, and helps you to stay active throughout the day.

As per the research done by FSSAI, Vitamin B12 plays an important role when it comes to breakfast; it supports the body to produce energy, nerve health, red blood cell formation, and overall brain function. When the body gets enough B12, it feels more alert, active, and focused. The body gives many signs when B12 levels are low, which can lead to tiredness, muscle weakness, poor concentration, and mood dips. Adding B12-rich foods like dairy, paneer, and curd to your breakfast helps your body start the day strong and stay energetic throughout the day.
