Candy for Breakfast Day

Nicole Dinkins Chavous

Some select friends, family, and fans have participated with us on September 10 for years, but most people probably never heard of Candy for Breakfast Day, right? Allow me to fill you in! Created in 2007, Candy for Breakfast Day is the September 10 celebration when we eat sweets for breakfast and play video games with loved ones. As part of our tradition, we also have dinner for lunch and a traditional breakfast for dinner. If this is not enough to tempt your curiosity, I'm going to give you 5 good reasons you should join in the celebration with us this year.

1.) Sweets! It's a scientific fact that the best time of day to have sweets is breakfast time. It gives your body time to break down the sugars and fats as energy for the rest of the day. It's a fact people you can google it!

2.) Playing video games is a worldwide sport and has been proven to sharpen instincts, quicken reaction time and is just fun. Fun is a healer! Fun leads to laughter. Laughter is a healer! All this stress reducing activity on Candy for Breakfast Day is good for you!

3.) Unity. We can all benefit from spending time with our loved ones. It's good for the heart and soul to spend quality fun time together enjoying each other's company. Show your love to the ones closest to you by bringing Candy for Breakfast Day into their lives.

4.) This year we're having a live streaming event! Tune in to @muthatung to catch our Periscope stream of our special day!
