Everyone knows the importance of good nutrition and a safe environment. However, so many products today make so many claims that you need to exercise your mind before you make the right choices for your body, your home, and your family.
After an hour or two at work, do you still feel energized and focused, or have you hit a mid-morning slump? How about your children? Are they staying alert and engaged in class, or are they nodding off at their desks? If you're looking for reasons to explain these declines in alertness, begin by looking at the food on your breakfast table. Breakfast is when we're supposed to replenish the important nutrient reservoirs that have been depleted throughout the night. While you are sleeping, your body is working hard to rejuvenate, and in doing so, all available nutrients are being utilized. Break the fast! By breakfast time, the average person has been fasting for approximately 12 hours. Your body is now depleted of important nutrients. It needs macro nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Additionally, your body needs micro nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and an array of phytonutrients.
For You
Your first meal sets you up for a successful day. A nutritious breakfast that delivers a balanced abundance of the nutrients your body needs sets your metabolism for the rest of the day. In addition to providing stable energy levels, it helps keep your mind clear and focused throughout the day and even helps prevent unhealthy cravings, which lead to over-eating and unhealthy snack choices. According to a recent study published in the International Journal of Obesity, breakfasts based on the wrong nutrients can sabotage weight-loss efforts. People who began their day with high-quality protein over refined carbohydrates were able to lose 65% more weight, and also reported higher energy throughout the day. 1
For your Children
For children, breakfast is even more important. A poor breakfast can undermine their health, weaken their immune systems, and disrupt academic focus. Conversely, studies have shown that children who have a nutritious breakfast perform better academically 2 and in general, those who have healthy eating habits when young are more to have healthy diets as adults. 3
So, encouraging a healthy breakfast, and eating one yourself provides important nutrients, establishes healthy habits, and makes you a positive role model!
While we may have many options for breakfast, for most people convenience and speed are the top criteria. In an effort to begin our hectic schedules, we need some version of "fast food." But does "fast" necessitate poor nutrition? The ideal breakfast is rich in protein, balanced with carbohydrates and fats, and provides vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Options for quick and easy breakfast foods are plentiful, but in order to avoid sugar or fat-packed options, review the nutritional value of your choices. Good nutrition and good health deserve more than quick satisfaction. While a breakfast pastry may sound delicious, the 38 grams of carbohydrates (17 grams of sugar) and only 2 grams of protein make this a poor breakfast choice.
