Eating Your Breakfast Foods Makes You Healthy
Growing up, I was always told it was important to start the day with a good breakfast. While that rule was not always followed, it seems that today it's incredibly more common for people to skip breakfast. Being always on the go, most don't realize they're being unhealthy.
There are those that don't like to eat at the start of the day, others that don't feel like they have the time and many just want to sleep in a few more minutes. Whatever the reason, it is important to note that there are more good reasons to get that first meal than to pass on it.
The pros far outweigh the cons when it comes to eating breakfast everyday. Eating a good breakfast helps people to eat more vitamins and minerals while eating less fat and cholesterol. Having food in your belly at the beginning of your day will help keep you from eating something you know you shouldn't while waiting for that next meal.
By consuming good food at the start of your day you are able to help you body not worry about nutrition and you can now focus other things. You will have improved concentration and memory. Your cravings for sweets and quick unhealthy snacks will be reduced which not only helps you focus, but helps control that waistline too.
You might be surprised to find out how many fast and easy options there are out there for healthy breakfast foods. From prepackaged whole grain pancake mixes, cereals and muffins to delicious fruits and drinks that provide everything you need in that first important meal of the day. Make sure you check the ingredients and not be fooled by those that claim to be healthy. Avoid high fructose corn syrup and sugar.
Avoid sugary cereals, they have very little nutritional value and do more harm than good. Try something hardier that will provide more than just a sugar rush. A real basic guideline for cereal would be at least 3 grams of fiber, 13 grams or less of sugar, and less than 120 calories per serving.
It is important to note that the health benefits from eating a healthy breakfast don't come after one or two days. It takes several days or even weeks to really build the momentum of healthy eating. You need to make it a habit of choosing healthy breakfast foods and taking the time each day to get that first meal.
Now is the time. Make that first meal your best meal. Wake up a little earlier and enjoy the morning. Or, if you really aren't a morning person do some planning the night before. Know what you are going to consume in the morning. Fill your body with the good stuff that will last and leave those fattening teeth rotting snacks behind. Formulate new habits that will help you both mind and body. You'll learn how rewarding good health can be. - 17273
