TIPS ON HEALTHY BREAKFAST
Waking up in the morning and rushing to work with an empty stomach may not be the right way to a healthy living. Eating a nutritious food in the morning boosts your energy and strengthens your body system for daily activities.
Here are some simple foods that can be eaten without taking time to prepare:
1. Watermelon- Water melon is an excellent way to hydrate in the morning. Watermelon contains just 40 calories per cup, landing it on lists of so-called negative-calorie foods that supposedly burn more calories during digestion than they add in. This juicy fruit is among the best sources of lycopene- a nutrient found in red fruits and vegetables that is important for vision, heart health, and cancer prevention.
2. BlueBerries- Studies suggest that eating blueberries regularly can help improve everything from memory and motor skills to blood pressure and metabolism. Blueberries are also lower in calories than a lot of other fruits (they contain just 80 per cup).
3. Strawberries- Berries are super foods because they’re so high in antioxidants without being high in calories. A recent study found that women were less likely to have a heart attack over an 18-year period if they ate more than three servings of strawberries or blueberries per week.
4. Tea- Tea has a pretty impressive resume of health benefits too. Because it has less caffeine, it hydrates you more effectively than coffee, and it’s also a rich source of the immunity boosting antioxidants known as catechins. Research suggests that drinking five cups a day can increase your body’s metabolism and help you lose more weight around the middle. All tea (black, green or white) provides antioxidants, but green tea maybe healthiest of all.
5. Orange Juice- Fresh squeezed orange juice is a classic (tasty) morning beverage. It is one of the few dietary sources of the sunshine vitamin, higher levels of which have been link to a lower risk of osteoporosis, depression, certain cancers.
6. Cereal- Top off your bowl with skim milk and fruit for the complete package. Whole grains to fill you up, protein to supply all-day energy, and antioxidants to keep your immune system humming.
7. Bananas- There is nothing like banana at breakfast to keep those mid-morning cravings at bay. Bananas are a particularly good choice for people with hypertension. It helps lower blood pressure naturally.
8. Eggs- Once shunned for being high in dietary cholesterol (one yolk contains about 60% of your daily allotment), eggs are now embraced as a healthy source of protein and nutrients like vitamin D.
9. Cucumbers- A few slice of cucumber might be all you need to look fresh all day like a baby. Cucumber is one of those few vegetable that work both as anti-cancer and anti-cardiovascular disease. It contain lignans that supports the immune system.
You can have it all in one meal if you make a fruit salad of all these essential fruits and accompany it with a cup of tea
