Healthy Breakfast

What does your body need for Breakfast?

Human body consists of 100 trillion cells and requires 114 different nutrients

1. Macronutrients (energy during the day as fuel)

• Proteins
• Carbohydrates
• Fibre
• Fats

2. Micronutrients (building materials to replenish itself at night)

• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Trace Elements

3. Water (you lose a litre of water while you sleep through breathing, sweating and going to the bathroom)

Carbohydrates Based Breakfast – WRONG

In the morning, simple carbohydrates (sugar, white breads, toasts) and others (noodles, rice…) cause an immediate raise of blood sugar level which results in a substantial emission of insulin. The insulin removes sugar from blood turning its excess into fat. The result is a decreased level of blood sugar, and thirst for more carbs. This cycle repeats itself 2, 3 or more times during the day. This vicious circle constitutes one of the major reasons for diabetes, high blood pressure and extra weight.

Skip Breakfast – WRONG

When you skip breakfast, blood sugar drops bellow normal level, you experience cravings and a drop of energy. You again revert to simple carbohydrates to achieve a quick surge of blood sugar and to overcome hunger and a drop of energy. Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white breads, toasts) and others (noodles, rice, beans…) cause an immediate raise of blood sugar level which results in a substantial emission of insulin. The insulin removes sugar from blood turning its excess into fat. The result is a decreased level of blood sugar, and thirst for more carbs. This cycle repeats itself 2, 3 or more times during the day. This vicious circle constitutes one of the major reasons for diabetes, high blood pressure and extra weight.

Balanced Protein Based Breakfast – CORRECT

Such a breakfast supplies our body with all vital nutrients and energy without increasing blood sugar and insulin levels. It helps to avoid dependence on carbs during the day. In this way, appetite stays under control, cravings for carbs (snacks, soft drinks, cookies …) diminish and the body uses its own stored fats to get more energy.
