The Right Kind of Healthy Breakfast Foods

By Jamis Hartley

At the start of each day it is essential to give our bodies the nutrients needed to keep our bodies functioning through the daily demands. If we don't eat what our bodies need our body will begin to tell us so and most likely you will end up eating something you shouldn't. Skipping breakfast is not an effective way to lose weight or manage health.

Getting the right start to the day means that you don't get that let down feeling about ten o'clock that has you reaching for the doughnuts, the candy bar, or something equally lacking in nutritional value. The fast things we put into our mouths are generally not only unsound nutritionally, but offer us empty calories that pack on the pounds more easily.

The healthy breakfast foods are those full of nutrient rich ingredients. Whole foods, like fruits and vegetables and whole wheat grain products are full of nutrition that will sustain your body with the need energy. Those foods advertised as fast and convenient are usually low in substance with add-in vitamins that look good on the box but there is nothing to them. Your stomach never gets full because there is no substance.

Think about those foods that are typically offered for a quick breakfast and you're going to find processed sugars by the ton. Typical cold cereals may have high sugar, high fat aspects that give you edgy fluctuations in the glucose levels in your body later that morning. It's probably better to select something else, although you won't hear that from the ad agencies.

Healthy breakfast foods are going to be those that are more slowly broken down by your digestive system. Unlike the sugary cereals that boost your blood sugar to give you that boost but let you down, whole foods will fill your tummy and give you the sustainable energy to work and play and not snack and wait for the next meal. Real food with real ingredients and not just sugar and vitamins will keep your blood sugar steady and provide the nutrition your muscles and bones need.

When you are looking for healthy breakfast foods, take the time to compare the nutritional facts. They are hard to read sometimes, but if you take the time to learn a little about it and actually compare you will quickly learn how to pick out the good stuff from the garbage. Keep in mind that the advertisers are trying to convince you how healthy their products are, so don't listen to the loud screaming ads on the box, look at the facts. Many of the vitamins and minerals are there because they can be put in in supplemental form but the hardy ingredients that will give you the substance you need will be those higher in protein, fiber and whole grains. - 17273
