Your Choice of Meals May Energize Your Body
By Tom Herrin
Doing what comes natural is the answer to lots of things. That way people don't have to use much thought or planning. It works in many ways, but it doesn't always meet everyone's individual needs. For those who may have some kinds of health issue, more information may bring about better planning. When this happens, individual health needs are more likely to be met, and the net gain is better health. Breakfast is one of those meals that can be just about the same every day and still serve a valuable purpose.
It May Provide a Great Start
When people eat the right kind of breakfast, they are able to provide the kind of foundation they will need for the work of the day. As always, work requires energy to be done well. Whether it is for an engine or a person, the fuel that supplies that energy needs to be the right quality. A good breakfast containing fruit or juices can have a healthy kind of energy with a good amount of nutrients rather than those poor quality sugary drinks that are so readily available at convenience stores.
It May Help Manage Weight
A large number of people struggle with their weight. It is much easier to put on than take off for most. Some of the problem is often that the body tends to crave something that it is not getting. A breakfast high in nutrients can provide a filler for the void left by poor nutrition. Taking in a good balance at the start of the day can satisfy those feelings of need. A sufficient amount of vitamins, proteins, and omega-3s may keep away that hunger that causes people to have a desire to keep eating.
It May Be Good for Bone Health
A good way to start the day is with some kind of milk product. Everyone knows the need for calcium in developing strong bones. We likely all had milk with our meals as school children. It doesn't hurt for us to continue to include it as we age. I like milk with oats or other cereal. Some people prefer yogurt. Others choose cheeses or some other kind of milk product. If you want an easy way to be healthy and have the energy you need for the day, plan a personal breakfast. It can be what you need to start off every day.
