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.
For some it's the appeal of an extra few minutes of sleep and others really don't like to eat until they have a few miles under their belt for the day. There are many reasons people use to justify abstinence from that first meal. However, time tested practices show that a good meal at the start of your day has more good reasons to partake than forsake.
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.
Starting the day with breakfast improves concentration and memory. Those men and women who think skipping breakfast will help them lose weight are actually making it much more difficult to control their waistline. Several studies have shown that eating breakfast actually helps control weight better. Hungry people on the go generally consume poor quality foods.
A balanced breakfast has whole grains, low-fat protein, low-fat dairy, fruits and vegetables. Just think, if you ate a hard-boiled egg, a whole-wheat pancake, some fruit, and a glass of skim milk, you'd have a great start to your day. If you just take a little time to think about it, you'll find its not much trouble at all to find healthy breakfast foods you enjoy and take only moments to prepare.
Sugar and high fructose corn syrup are not going to provide your body with the sustainable energy levels you are going to need. Depending on how hard you work your body you may need more or less than the recommended daily values. You should learn what works for your body and activity level. If you find yourself getting hungry eat more whole grains that will last longer.
In addition to finding the right breakfast foods, make breakfast a habit. Realizing the benefits of eating breakfast will take a little time to notice, but if you stick to it you will find that the habit of a healthy breakfast will help you be healthy in other areas of your life.
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. - 17268
