Don't Skip you breakfast if you need to stay healthy

By Geneva Elizabeth


In relation to other meals, breakfast is the foundational meal of the day. This means that it should contain the most nutrients as well as high energy levels in the food. After this, your lunch and your dinner can be lighter, as you will not need as many nutrients to process. By starting your day right with a healthy breakfast, you will get the right levels of nutrition and the right amount of energy and vitamins to start your day. A healthy breakfast is an easy step to a healthy day.

Missing breakfast can be seen as a way of saving time in the morning, or of losing weight. But the Finnish researchers say those who miss breakfast tend to smoke more, drink more alcohol and take less exercise than those who make time for the meal. And those who missed the meal were likely to be fatter, possibly because they are more likely to have unhealthy snacks mid-morning to boost their energy levels.

According to the dieticians, breakfast is most essential. They say breakfast must be balanced and should include nutrients like calcium (milk or milk products), proteins and fiber (sprouts or cereal), and some amount of antioxidants (apples, strawberries, banana, oranges, etc) and vitamins. Several investigations have suggested that omission of breakfast contributes to dietary inadequacies in children. Often called 'brain food', breakfast needs to be wholesome and it should essentially contain all the vital nutrients that the body craves for.

People think that if they skip breakfast, they will lose weight. But it is a myth. They gain weight at a faster rate instead because they end up eating more than in the normal course. Stay away from the sugary cereals, syrups, pastries, and white breads because they are digested quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in a couple of hours. Protein and fiber satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunch time. If you really don't like to eat breakfast, you can split it up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard boiled egg at home, and an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts

No matter how busy you are, make sure to have your breakfast daily, for a study says that skipping the morning meal too often could put you at risk of developing heart disease. Researchers at the University of Tasmania have found that leaving the house on an empty stomach leads to obesity, larger fat stores around the stomach and higher cholesterol levels -all major risk factors for heart disease.
