Breakfast Tryst

Breakfast has always been the most important meal of the day. Although, in today’s world, people tend to skip this vital energy boosting meal because they’re too lazy or mornings are too hectic. In reality, it’s very easy to include breakfast into your life and with just a few changes in your lifestyle you will be well on your way to a healthier happier you!

The meaning of breakfast literally means breaking your “fast”. This is the longest gap that the body takes without food. Breakfast gives your body the much needed nutrients and energy to sustain itself and have all bodily functions running smoothly. If you start having breakfast you will notice that you will have more energy, tend to binge on junk foods less through the day and be sharper. Therefore, you need to give your body its required nutrition so that you can start your mornings well and continue to be on top of things throughout the day

This is also the best time that you can indulge on your high calorie intake foods as well. All dieticians would recommend that if you really really must binge, it should be done first thing in the morning.

Breakfast Tips:

· Avoid having tea of coffee first thing in the morning

· You can prepare your breakfast the previous day and carry it along with you to work

· There is NO excuse to skip breakfast (you are not a morning person is not an excuse)

· This is the perfect time to have a small slice of your favorite chocolate cake or a spoon of your preferred dessert (only once a week mind you!)
