Diet Meals - Wholesome Breakfast Foods

By John Summerlake

It is usually encircled by silly justification of shortage of time. And still no one denies that fact that "breakfast" may be the most important meal of the day.

Why such a hullabaloo about this early morning meal? Well, for starts, this meal follows a break of 8 - 10 hours; hence your blood sugar level will be low. Since your body has gone without food for such a long time, it requires nutrition to kick-start its day. Therefore "breakfast" is considered to be an important and essential meal of the day.

Breakfast advantages both, young and old. It may be the key element to jump start your muscles and your day. Individuals who consume breakfast (healthy) everyday are more most likely to

- Take in much more vitamins, minerals and much less of fat and cholesterol. - Increased strength and endurance. - Better focus and productivity all day lengthy. - Management over bodyweight - Low cholesterol = no danger or little risk of heart disease

Kids who eat breakfast are likely to have much better concentration, problem-solving skills and eye-hand coordination. They will be attentive, creative, and much less likely to miss days of school.

If you believe omitting this meal, will help you lose weight, think again. By passing over this meal, your body will go within the starvation mode and make you crave for snacks especially sweets. Impulsive snacking on unhealthy foods can lead to weight gain. However you motivate yourself from losing weight by skipping breakfast, this stays unachievable.

Try to select healthy foods from at least two food groups each morning

- Fruits & Vegetables - Grains - Dairy - Proteins

A glass of pure fruit juice, bananas, yoghurt, low-calorie muesli with semi skimmed or skimmed milk, fresh fruit salad with few spoonfuls of low fat yoghurt, fresh and raw veggies mixed with flavoured yoghurt, a slice of toast or plain bread with eggs, boiled or poached are some of the options for breakfast. Kids can enjoy a Smoothie with their favourite fruits; add dash of yoghurt or honey to make it much more delicious.

Should you look forward to eating different kinds of healthy foods for breakfast, you are less like to skip this meal. If time is your hurdle, think about packing your breakfast or eating on the 'run', its much better than skipping it altogether.
