Scientific studies have shown that a healthy breakfast is of extreme importance to the overall health of a person. A number of people know that being the first meal of the day, it must be important. However, these same people fail to eat it for various reasons.
What level of importance do you attach to breakfast? The following are the top benefits of having a healthy breakfast.
• Boosts your metabolic rate
As you sleep during the night, the rate of metabolism usually drops. When you take a healthy breakfast, however, your metabolism picks up. As a result, the functionality of the body optimizes by burning calories efficiently from the start of the day as opposed to when you wait for lunch.
• Helps in weight loss
Many studies have revealed that a healthy breakfast is associated with weight loss. Since it boosts the rate of metabolism, your body burns calories more efficiently, thereby helping to lose weight.
• Prevents overheating
The length of time between dinner and breakfast is already long. If you extend the time by skipping breakfast, you will naturally eat more than you should. When you overeat, you increase the chances of gaining weight.
• Boosts the level of energy
To stay active and able to do physical activities, the body needs good amounts of energy. A healthy breakfast is the source of this energy. When you take the right amount of nutrients in your breakfast, you will be strong throughout the day.
• Improves memory and concentration
The brain requires energy to function properly. The source of this vital energy is the carbohydrate. The nutrients enable the brain to handle longer periods of concentration and improve one’s memory.
• Lowers the level of cholesterol
Skipping breakfast slows down metabolism, stores fat longer and causes overeating. This will lead to a rise in the level of bad cholesterol due to weight gain.
Whether your aim is to lose weight or stay healthy, a healthy breakfast is part of your answer. Your morning meal needs to have fruits, vegetables, lean protein, whole grains, and non-fat dairy. The advice from nutritionists is that the meal should be taken within 2 hours after waking up. This meal can actually make a huge difference in one’s health.
Many people are not lovers of a big breakfast simply because a lot of the foods are very bland. Here are 10 recipes for Healthy Weight Loss breakfasts that taste good and have great flavor. Excuse us for the Pecan Pie French Toast but it is so good I had to put it in here.
