Breakfast is such an important meal and cannot be skipped since your body needs to break the fast after 8 – 12 hours and restore the supply of glucose that your body needs for carrying the day’s activities. That is why it is called ‘Breakfast’. However, not all foods are healthy for breakfast. If you consume refined carbohydrates, such as white bread, pastries, sugar, jams, jellies, marmalades, then that is not nutritious. It will only increase your insulin and when the insulin level falls down in an hour or two, you’ll feel hungry again. This cycle continues and you only end up adding unnecessary weight and still feeling tired. Instead, try to eat whole grains, omega 3 rich fats, and lean protein, as it will maintain your blood sugar until you have lunch or even dinner. Try to include these items in your breakfast: spinach, avocados, oatmeal, muesli, berries, bananas, nuts, and eggs.
