6 steps to a Healthier Breakfast |
||
|
1. Maintain a routine time for breakfast: This is vital to prevent the onset of the “starvation modeâ€. This implies that if you skip your morning breakfast, your body metabolism slows down eventually making you feel weak and starved. Apart from this, due to the 8-9 hours of overnight gap, there is an instant need of nutrition and healthy foods to fuel your body. Thus, try to put something inside your belly within one hour of getting up in the morning. If you can’t eat a full meal as soon as you get up, try indulging in a handful of nuts or some pieces of fruits.
2. Avoid sugary cereals: It is not sufficient to eat a filling breakfast. Your morning meal should be healthy as well, loaded with all the essential nutrients. Most of us feel that incorporating lots of cereals is the best way to achieve this. Truly, cereals do provide all required minerals and vitamins but some of them are really high in calories. In fact, you will be surprised to find the calorie level of some of the most widely marketed cereal brands currently available. If you do want to start your day with cereals, choose healthier varieties like whole bran instead of the sugary ones. 3. Include daily intake of calcium: It is imperative to include daily recommended amounts of calcium for children and adults in breakfast. Milk and milk products are the best ways to achieve this. Regular intake of calcium in breakfasts will help in proper development of bones and prevent conditions like osteoporosis. 4. Don’t skip your Omega 3s: This can be achieved through adequate intake of eggs, salmon or flax seeds. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for maintaining health and for proper physical development are many. From controlling diabetes to preventing heart ailments and colon cancer; this compound is a must-have for people of all age groups and sexes. 5. Skip the caffeine beverages: According to recent researches, caffeinated products along with low-sugar cereal cause the elevation of blood sugar levels for hours. Apart from this, excessive coffee intake can cause addiction and lead to health hazards like insomnia, headaches, dehydration and heartburn. Thus, it is advisable to steer clear of these agents as much as possible; particularly during the mornings. 6. Include a healthy serving of fruits and vegetables: Regarded as the “powerhouse†of antioxidants and other essential nutrients, a generous serving of fruits and vegetables is a must during breakfasts. This can be used either in their pure forms as salads or along with other items like spinach with eggs or carrot juice. |
