Skipping breakfast is common. Some folks feel like they don’t have time for breakfast or they simply aren’t hungry during breakfast time. However, when mid-morning hits so do the hunger pangs. Here are five ways to build breakfast into your morning routine:
With intermittent fasting and other restrictive diets on the rise, some people are choosing to skip breakfast all together. However, it could cost them in the long run. Here are 5 mental and physical benefits to eating breakfast.1
These benefits come from not only eating breakfast and waking up your mind and body, but by eating the right kind of foods for breakfast.
Breakfast foods provide needed vitamins and nutrients in one small meal. Eating a balanced breakfast can mean the difference in getting all of your needed vitamins and nutrients for the day. Aim to eat something simple from 2 or 3 food groups each meal.
Whole grains provide long term energy and fiber for your day. Look for cereal with 5 grams of fiber, then add milk, and top it off with fruit and you have a healthy breakfast.
Protein and dairy foods such as nuts, meat, beans, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt or milk help you feel full longer. A cup of yogurt with fruit, or peanut butter on whole wheat toast, may be just enough.
Fruits and vegetables add important vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber to your diet and bring color to your meal. Whole-wheat pancakes and a glass of milk may not appeal to you but put some fresh or thawed strawberries on those pancakes and you have a treat!
Think outside the breakfast box. If you don’t care for cold cereal, eggs and toast, or waffles and coffee, have a turkey sandwich on whole-grain bread or heat up some leftovers from last night’s sensible dinner.
When it comes to breakfast, skip dessert. While the donuts, sugary drinks and sweet cereal bars may be easy to grab, their quick energy jolt will soon lead to a crash, counteracting the benefits of eating breakfast in the first place.
Whether you and your loved ones are starting a new school year or continuing with a busy work schedule, you can benefit each day from breaking your long overnight fast.
