Student Health Advice: Taking 10–15 minutes to refuel after 7–10 hours of sleep is the simplest way for all NTTU-ers to “F5” (refresh) themselves every day. Don’t let an empty stomach cloud your focus in the lecture hall!

WHAT IS BREAKFAST?
Just imagine your body is like a motorcycle, and breakfast is the very first “refuel” to start a new day. After a long night of about 8–10 hours of sleeping on an empty stomach, breakfast plays the role of a timely energy source that helps “wake up” your metabolic system and recharges fuel for a sharp, alert brain.
Eating a full breakfast not only helps you shake off that sluggish feeling and work more productively, but it is also the simplest way to protect your stomach, stabilize blood sugar, and prevent the body from storing excess fat.
