Importance of Breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day they say..

Well..I am sure everyone knows this by now. Too much has been said about the importance of not skipping the breakfast. In fact, breakfast should be the heaviest meal you have during the day. The time gap between dinner and morning breakfast is practically 8 to 9 hours!

A healthy breakfast can include cereals, oats, brown bread sandwiches, salads or even traditional preparations like vegetable paranthas (with less amount of oil applied on it), pohe, upma etc.

There are ways to make even a simple breakfast a very healthier one. Try incorporating simple options like the ones described below to your regular breakfast and notice the improvement in your appetite and overall well being. These are:

1. Add sprouts in sandwiches
2. Avoid sugar, go sugar free
3. Include healthier options instead of butter...like peanut butter
4. Include homemade chutneys like mint chutney, tamarind chutney instead of ready made sauces as they carry preservatives
5. Add apple or any seasonal fruit to your normal breakfast meal
6. A small bowl of sprouts with a few soaked peanuts and jaggery increases hemoglobin level in the body
