Many people often make the mistake of skipping the most important meal of the day. While some do manage a quick bite to eat at the work desk later in the morning, many others skip breakfast completely. And some do avoid it to lose weight.
But as the name suggests, eating breakfast is a way to break our overnight fast. In fact, it's known as the most important meal of the day because of its magical powers to recharge the body. But skipping breakfast could have a serious impact on your health.
So, eat a healthy breakfast daily.
Paratha and Puri
Never keep paratha or puri on your breakfast menu. There is a possibility of fat accumulation in the body as a result of regular eating of the same. Generally, clarified butter or oil is used to make these foods. Moreover, refined flour bought from the market contains a high glycemic index. Eating paratha or puri can cause metabolic disorder and increase the amount of sugar and insulin in the blood. As a result, the body weight could increase, and with it, the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Fruit Juice
Eating fruits directly is better than drinking fruit juice. This is because when you juice a fruit, some of the healthy fiber is lost in the process. Read-to-drink juices are actually harmful as they contain artificial flavours and are also low in nutrients, fiber, enzymes, minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins.
Junk Food
And if you gorge on chocolates, pancakes, burgers, donuts or sandwiches in the mornings, be ready to pile on weight. All these tasty foods contain high calories.
A donut contains six grams of fat and 250 grams of calories. On the other hand, the sugar syrup on the pancake is not good for you as it contains a lot of fat and fructose, both harmful to your heart health.
Women often give their children junk food for breakfast. Potato chips, fried foods, soft drinks, sweets, chocolates are all unhealthy and can do more harm than good.
Noodles
You are probably fond of noodles because they can be prepared in five to 10 minutes. But noodles contain BHA and TBHQ, which are very harmful to your health. Eating noodles not only increases the risk of heart disease but also aids weight gain.
Tea-Coffee
Should you kickstart your day with a cup of tea or coffee? Well, always avoid tea and coffee on an empty stomach. These beverages stimulate the acids in the stomach, which can cause heartburn or nausea. At least, have a biscuit before sipping on a delicious cuppa.
Cold and Energy Drinks
Never drink cold or energy drinks as standalone beverages in the mornings. When you wake up in the morning, your body temperature stays a little low. So at this time, you need to eat in harmony with your body temperature. And cold drinks contain high levels of sugar.
Moreover, energy drinks are also high in sugar. They can cause long-term side effects such as headaches and migraines, nausea, vomiting, increased anxiety, and hormonal imbalance.
Wheat Bread
It is better to eat wheat flour bread for breakfast. Glycogen made from bread melts faster than rice. As a result, your stomach will remain full and the nutritional value will also increase. Two tablespoons of wheat contain 15% Vitamin E and 10% folic acid. It also simplifies the digestion process.
Fried Eggs
Eating eggs in the morning is better than eating sugary foods. There is a special compound called tryptophan in fried eggs, which makes the brain feel better. Bananas and nuts also contain this compound. So if you have these foods for breakfast, you can expect a good day.
Nuts
Having nuts for breakfast improves your digestion. It also controls the pH level of your digestive system.
Honey
Honey helps to refresh your mind and body. It also strengthens your digestive process and accelerates your brain function. The process of food digestion removes toxins from the body. It also gives you a feeling of satisfaction after a meal.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal raises a protective wall around the stomach. Internally secreted hydrochloric acid cannot do any damage to the stomach wall accordingly. It also lowers cholesterol levels due to its soluble fiber. It is better to eat oats with milk.
Fruit or Vegetable Salad
Cucumbers, tomatoes, and carrots for breakfast, nothing could be more healthy. If possible, add boiled eggs or meat to your salad. It can protect you against Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. You can also eat fruit salad. These types of salads also aid weight loss and keep your heart healthy.
Sour Yogurt
