Sometimes it’s not easy to grab a bite to eat in the rush of our morning routines.

You really should try, though.

A new study from Tufts University in UPI found that middle-aged adults who regularly skip breakfast are more likely to suffer from clogged arteries and other forms of heart disease than those who enjoy a good breakfast.

They tend to make up for it later in the day and usually with non-healthy food choices.

Pancakes, anyone?
