The Importance of Getting a Healthy Breakfast

By Juan Valdez

A lot of people skip breakfast. This is a really bad habit to get into, since a healthy breakfast is the best way to start off the day. Even if you are trying to cut calories or don't have a lot of time in the morning, you should still try to fit in this important meal.

After sleeping the night, your body needs a healthy breakfast to help fuel it so it can get through the day. Think how long it has been since your last meal; that is a long time to go without food. It is better to eat something healthy so you don't end up eating junk a little later because you are starving.

Studies continue to show that skipping meals just sets you up to binge at later meals, and doesn't really save you any calories. In fact, people who eat a healthy breakfast eat less over the course of the day than people who skip breakfast. They are less likely to binge later in the day.

Eating breakfast will make you healthier. You will be able to do a better job at work or school since you will be have better concentration, and you will also get more minerals and vitamins. People who eat a healthy breakfast also tend to have lower cholesterol.

For a good breakfast, you should opt for a meal containing fruits or vegetables, low fat dairy, lean protein, and whole grains. Try to include two or more of these groups so you will get plenty of nutrients and feel full until it is time for the next meal.

If you are in a time crunch, there are a lot of things you can either eat quickly or take with you to eat on your way or once you get to work or school. Healthy breakfast options include an apple and a whole grain bagel spread with peanut butter. Add a glass of milk for even more nutritional benefit.

People who tend to be rushed in the morning should plan ahead the night before. That way they can have breakfast all ready to go in no time at all. Breakfast can be cooked the night before and just quickly heated in the morning for the ultimate time saver.

For those who don't like typical breakfast foods, there are lots of other healthy options available. You can eat leftovers from dinner, a sandwich made from whole wheat bread, or even leftover vegetable pizza. - 17269
