The 7 best things for breakfast
Many people say that breakfast is the most important meal. And that’s probably true because you need to get off to a good start after sleeping through the night. Breakfast helps you start the day.
But it’s essential to not only make sure you eat breakfast, but also eat the best breakfast possible. So here is a list of, in my opinion, the seven best things to eat for breakfast.
1 fruit. For example, bananas, grapefruit, oranges, apples, even watermelons. Fruits contain a lot of fiber and help to lose weight.
2. Vegetables. Although most people don’t think of vegetables as a true breakfast food, they are actually very nutritious and contain a lot of fiber. Vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and beets can be made into breakfast smoothies.
3 eggs. Over the years, eggs have gotten a bad rap for cholesterol problems. But really, eggs are very healthy for you. They contain the kind of “good” cholesterol that doesn’t raise people’s cholesterol as many fear. They have protein and are quite filling. Also, there are many ways to prepare eggs, as you probably know.
4. Yogurt. Yogurt is easy to eat because it comes in those little cups you can buy at the store. Greek yogurt is quite nutritious, since it contains protein and helps to lose weight. Many Greek yogurts contain mixed fruits, but make sure the yogurt contains live cultures, which should be stated on the label.
5. Oats. Another relatively simple breakfast to prepare, and there are many different types to choose from. Oats contain fiber, which can help give you that feeling of fullness for much of the day. It is also useful for lowering cholesterol.
6. Whole wheat pancakes. The waffles are good too, even the french toast. Another very easy breakfast to make, since many brands come frozen and can be cooked in a microwave or toaster. But try to avoid the sugary syrup; you can top waffles or pancakes with fruit, yogurt, or preserves.
7. Sandwiches. Yes, sandwiches can be part of a nutritious breakfast. But the bread shouldn’t be that cheap white bread; it should be a brand that says 100% whole grain. The sandwich can be peanut butter and jelly, but in both cases, read the labels. Peanut butter should have only nuts and salt or oil as an ingredient, nothing else; They are more expensive, but they are worth it. Jellies or preserves must also contain only fruit.
Bonus Item: Coffee! Much has been discussed these days about whether coffee is healthy or not. Generally speaking, it’s okay to have a cup for breakfast, but no more. And make sure you have a food to go with it, as mentioned above. Finally, be careful about adding too much cream or sugar to your coffee; try skim milk and very little sugar.
Starting your day with a healthy breakfast that does not include items like bagels, donuts, and the like can give your morning a significant boost, as well as the rest of the day.
