DETAILS OF TWO TYPES OF BREAK FAST

Food is consumed both in the day as well at night. The food which is taken at the beginning of the day or the first meal of the day is know to be as breakfast. Actually after the dinner, we sleep for about 7 to 8 hours in the night, almost like fasting, (because not consuming anything during that period) so, breaking that fast is considered as breakfast. It should be consumed within two hours of waking up. There are basically two types of breakfast –these are mostly followed in Restaurants &Hotels.
