With the hustle and bustle of life and the desire to lose weight, a lot of people skip breakfast. But in fact, a healthy breakfast not only does not cause weight gain, but also gives you more energy to start a new day. Prepare yourself for a healthy breakfast following the suggestions below.
1. Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?
Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism, helping you burn calories throughout the day. It also provides the energy needed to complete the day's work and focus. Those are just a few reasons why it is considered the most important meal of the day. Many studies have linked eating breakfast to good health, including better memory and concentration, lower LDL cholesterol levels, and a lower likelihood of diabetes, heart disease, and being overweight.
But obviously, skipping breakfast can cause the body to lose its rhythm and fast. When you wake up, the amount of sugar the body needs to make muscles and brain work is usually low and breakfast will help replenish it. If our bodies don't get that fuel from food, we can feel drained of energy and will be more likely to overeat later in the day.
Breakfast also gives the body a chance to get some vitamins and nutrients from healthy foods like milk, whole grains and fruits. Many people skip breakfast because of the rush. That is a mistake because we need food to keep our body systems working before lunchtime.
2. Breakfast and weight
Researchers have found that on average, people who eat breakfast are leaner than those who don't. That may be because eating foods with protein and fiber in the morning helps reduce cravings for the rest of the day. A recent study that compared the weight loss between people who ate breakfast with those who didn't, found that eating breakfast and not eating breakfast didn't make any difference. Cutting calories by skipping meals won't help. Studies show that most people who lose weight and don't lose weight eat breakfast every day.
3. Why do children need breakfast?
Sometimes kids don't feel like eating in the morning, but it's important that they eat. Because their growing bodies need nutrients and energy. Children who don't eat breakfast have less attention span and they become more tired at school. They may also be irritable or restless. Their learning can also be affected. One study found that kids who ate breakfast had higher test scores than kids who didn't. Most children don't get all the vitamins and minerals they need if they just eat lunch and dinner.
Children who skip breakfast are more likely to eat junk food during the day and lead to being overweight. One study found that teenagers who ate breakfast every day had a lower body fat index based on height and weight than teenagers who never ate breakfast or ate an irregular breakfast. If your kids don't want to eat in the morning at home, pack something they can eat on the way to school or at recess.
4. How to have a healthy breakfast?
To prepare breakfast, be careful to avoid cakes or donuts. The best breakfast should have a mix of foods with carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Carbs will give you energy immediately, protein will provide energy later, fiber will keep you feeling full after eating. Try a whole grain cereal, low-fat milk and fruit, or a breakfast smoothie made with low-fat yogurt, fruit, and a teaspoon of bran. Nuts or whole grain granola are also easy and effective options for a healthy breakfast.
