It’s scientifically proven that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and a meal that can help you improve your health. Many people skip breakfast or choose a quick breakfast bombs full with sugars and fat. Here are the most common mistakes we do when we eat our breakfast:
1. Avoiding Proteins
Many people don’t have time to cook breakfast and that’s why their favorite quick breakfast is a cup of coffee and a muffin to-go. It’s a tasty combination but the bad part is that this type of breakfast lacks in proteins. Many researches have shown that a breakfast rich in proteins will balance your blood sugar levels and reduce hunger. Try to start your day with 2 hard-boiled eggs and an apple.
2. We Drink Too Much Juice
Juices can be a great source of vitamins and minerals but drinking too much juice can cause some health problems. A new study published in “Appetite” magazine shows that people who drink too much juice and not enough water during the day, have a higher blood pressure.
3. We Eat the Wrong Fat
It’s a known fact that our body needs certain fats to function. Nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix says that mainly people reach for saturated fats that are actually bad for our health. She recommends a breakfast rich in healthy fats: yogurt with some chopped nuts.
4. Artificial Sweeteners
A study published in “Nature” magazine shows that artificial sweeteners can disrupt the balance of the bacteria in our stomach. Nutritionist Brooke Alpert recommends you to drink your coffee without adding any type of sweetener. He also says that adding some cinnamon in your morning coffee can improve your metabolism.
Many studies have shown that artificial sweeteners are one of the Cancer Causing Foods.
5. Late Breakfast
If you eat your breakfast a couple of hour after waking up, you’ll end up being extremely hungry and you’ll stuff yourself with tons of food.
