Breakfast May Determine a Lot about Health
By Tom Herrin
There are plenty of things that have an impact on health. Some of them are because of what they do and some are because of what they don’t do. Many people just go through the day however they can without giving much thought or planning to what they do. Breakfast is the one meal that too many people take for granted. Some simply grab whatever they can find while others may skip it completely. While donuts may sound good, a well planned breakfast is much more beneficial and can do far more throughout the day. Skipping breakfast entirely can create a series of problems. Breakfast is an important meal for everyone even though it may not be the same for all.
It May Provide Energy for the Day
When people eat breakfast, it is best that they have a goal in mind. A good breakfast can supply the body with energy. When people consume fruits or juices, they can get a daily supply of many vitamins and minerals. These good carbohydrates can make a difference in the way people are able to perform their work. Many of the poorer quality carbs may also contain many unhealthy preservatives. These may do more harm than good and cause health problems as a result of bad choices.
It May Be Good for the Heart and Circulatory System
The heart is like any other body part. It requires many of the right kinds of nutrients to help it function properly. Omega-3s and good fats are necessary for the body's best performance. Nobody wants to take a chance on it failing. A good supply of magnesium and potassium also help it to work well and avoid stroke or cardiac arrest. What may seem like small amounts of nutrients can, many times, make a tremendous difference in health.
It May Support the Immune System
The benefit of citrus fruits in boosting immunities is pretty well known. More recently, the role of antioxidants has become better known They can help to fight many diseases. I always try to add a little fresh fruit or juice to my breakfast when possible. I am a believer in their positive effects. Design a breakfast that can do the max for you. Each person has different needs. Your own personal breakfast can meet yours and help provide you with the best health possible to get through the day in peak performance.
