Good breakfast to improve your health

Experts affirm that it's better for your health as well as for your weight to eat breakfast than to skip it. Moreover it's definitely better to eat a healthy breakfast, full of fibers and nutrients, than one full of refined grains, sugar, salt, and/or saturated fat. That’s why I’m going to give you one advice that will certainly help to make your breakfast more healthy and consequently will improve your health.

So, to keep your breakfast balanced try to "strive for five." That means to include at least 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein in every breakfast. Lots of people start their day with a refined-flour bagel, a muffin made with sugar and white flour, or a sugary low-fiber breakfast cereal. That means that they have a breakfast made up mostly of refined carbohydrates with very little fiber and protein. Balancing carbohydrates (preferably from whole grains, fruit and vegetables) with some protein and a little healthier fat will serve you better fueling your entire morning's activities.

Actually there are some tips for making sure your breakfast is a well-balanced one, as well as some quick and healthy breakfast recipes. Remember that healthy breakfast has at least 5 grams of protein/ That’s extremely important. Low-fat or nonfat dairy products can add protein to your breakfast, as well as egg whites or egg substitute (egg yolk doesn't contribute protein); lean breakfast meats like Canadian bacon, extra-lean ham, turkey bacon, or light turkey sausage; different soy products including soy milk and others.

Another important thing to remember is: healthy breakfast has at least 5 grams of fiber. The easiest way to get to those 5 grams of fiber is to include a whole grain and/or fruit or vegetables with your breakfast. It’s necessary to mention that whole grains along with fiber also offer many health-promoting vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. You can get grains at breakfast by eating: Hot oatmeal (or another hot whole-grain cereal); cold whole-grain cereal; 100% whole-wheat bread, small bagel, English muffin, or tortilla; pancakes and waffles made with at least half whole-wheat flour (you can also add oats, oat bran, or ground flaxseed for an extra nutrition boost); muffins and cinnamon rolls made with at least half whole-wheat flour.

Try to improve your food during breakfasts and you’ll see the improvement of tour health as quickly as you start. Moreover, it’s not only good for health, it’s also quite tasty.
