Start the Day Right - Don't Skip Breakfast

Eating breakfast is more than just a way to get you moving in the morning.
A healthy start to the day, breakfast, can prevent diabetes, protect your heart and more.

Studies show:

• children who eat breakfast do better in school.


• adults will feel better and perform better at work as well.
  

If we skip breakfast:

• become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel.


• By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again.
  
• This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry.
  

Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. Is a common strategy for losing weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals, but that just isn't true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for weight loss. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to maintain a healthy weight.

Why people skip b’fast:

• Early morning is rush hour for us (getting children go to school/ yourself to work) – Don’t have enough time.
  

Solution:

• Take time to prepare your breakfast on the night before.


• (Put it in the fridge and re-heat the nxt morning).


• On the weekend – take time to enjoy leisurely b’fast or branch (invite friends and neighbor to enjoy the pleasure eating healthy food wth you)
  

What is a Healthy Breakfast?

• A healthy breakfast should contain some protein and some fiber.
  [ Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, beans, or soy. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. ]


• A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk.
  
• Protein and fiber satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunch time.


• If you don't feel good when you eat breakfast,
  you can split your breakfast up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard boiled egg at home,
  and an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts.
