Why Breakfast Is the Most Important Meal of the Day

Breakfast provides many benefits to our health and well being


So you consumed your 2 glasses of water this morning right?
Well done, I’m very proud of you.

So what’s the next tip then?

Tip Nr.2- Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but that's not a good idea. It can backfire.

Breakfast Muesli


Breakfast provides the body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast - that's where its name originates, breaking the fast!  Without breakfast you are effectively running on empty, like trying to start the car with no petrol!

Apart from providing us with energy, breakfast foods are good sources of important nutrients such as calcium, iron and B vitamins as well as protein and fibre.  The body needs these essential nutrients and research shows that if these are missed at breakfast, they are less likely to be compensated for later in the day.  Fruit and vegetables are good sources of vitamins and minerals so try to include a portion of your daily five at breakfast, whether that be a banana or glass of fruit juice.

Breakfast can be good for waistline too, research shows those who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight and more likely to be within their ideal weight range compared with breakfast skippers.
If you skip breakfast, you're more likely to reach for high sugar and fatty snacks mid-morning.

Why not toast, beacon, french fries and a cheese griller for breakfast?



In the morning, simple carbohydrates (Sugar refined cereals, white bread, toast etc) cause an immediate surge in blood sugar, resulting in substantial release of insulin. The insulin removes most of the sugar from our blood, turning any excess into fat. This decreased level of blood sugar results in further craving for carbohydrates. This vicious cycle constitutes one of the major reasons for diabetes, high blood pressure.



Balanced healthy Breakfast

A balanced breakfast supplies our body with vital nutrients and energy without increasing the blood sugar and insulin levels, and helps to avoid dependence on carbohydrates during the day. In this way, appetite stays under control, craving for carbohydrates diminish and our body uses its fat stores for energy.

The simple solution!
