Breakfast is a MUST

This is so funny and so true to most of us! And this reminds me of the question:

Well, what is the first thing that you will do when you wake up? Do you dread yourself to work and wait for lunch time? Or will you do some workout before going to work? Or, will you be having breakfast?

According to some published studies, children who eat breakfast had a better performance at school and have a longer attention span. This is a good evidence to show that how important "BREAKFAST" mean to us. As u can see the word itself, BREAK-FAST means that we should stop our body from fasting after a long night sleep. When we wake up, our body system and those little cells expect us to refuel them so that they could do their job. This will certainly maintain your metabolism rate and prevent those increasing pounds which are hard to shed.

Our digestive system also had their own schedule where they work at their top most efficiency. It is well accepted and proven that our digestive system will be the most active between 7am-9am or it is best that we could have our breakfast 1 hour after we wake up to boost our energy level for the rest of the days. Furthermore, if we were to skip breakfast, our body will turn into starvation mode and do more harm than good for our metabolism. If we skip breakfast, we will be so hungry during lunch that we would eat even more and crave for those unhealthy snacks to satisfy our appetite.

Breakfast doesn't need to be a complicated one. Healthy and simple breakfast will do wonders to you. here are some options that you can choose to start off your day:

1) Wholemeal Bread (2 slices) + 2 tbsp of tuna in water/ 1 hard boiled egg + lettuce/tomato/cucumber + 1 glass of low fat milk

2) Oats (3 tbsp) + 1 tbsp of raisins + 5-6 pcs of nuts + low fat milk (1 glass)

3) Yoghurt (1 cup) + cut fruits (own preference)

4) Cereals (1 cup) + low fat milk/ skim milk (1 glass)

5) Homemade fruit juice (1 Apple + 1 carrot) - Its best that you could drink with the fiber! 

6) High fiber biscuits (3 pieces) + low fat milk (1 glass)

7) Scramble eggs (1 whole) + asparagus/lettuce/cherry tomatoes

Here are just some simple examples of breakfast that you could prepare in less than 5 minutes. So why skip 5 minutes to add on those pounds which is hard to shed for 5 months? A breakfast which contains fiber and lean protein is said to provide satiety throughout the day and will definitely keep you far away from those high fat/sugar food during lunch and dinner. The protein can come from low fat dairy products, lean meats, fish, eggs or nuts. You can get fiber easily from fruits, vegetables and oats.

Yummy! How can you resist all these healthy choices of BREAKFAST?
