Rise and Shine – It Is Breakfast Time

G'dayChef Catering Melbourne Foodie Blog

We always hear people telling us not to skip our breakfast, because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I must admit, I for one get tired of preparing and eating early in the morning. I guess we all experience it especially when we’re in a hurry in the mornings with our day to day commitments.

According to studies eating breakfast will help us lose weight, provide more energy to start our day and improve our concentration and focus. With these health benefits it could be well worth the effort to never miss our breakfast.

Weight Lose – Eating breakfast helps us to lose weight, because it suppresses our appetite throughout the day. If we skip breakfast we will feel hungry and tend to eat more during the lunch time. Also, eating breakfast improves our metabolism which is a key in losing weight. Eating the right food during breakfast is important. The most common breakfast food items are eggs and they are high in protein, they can assist us to feel full until lunch time. Fruit and cereals are also great options.

More Energy – To be able to perform at ultimate levels well we need to have energy. So why not start our day eating breakfast, coffee gives a quick alertness and energy but it doesn’t stay all day long. Food rich in fibre is perfect for breakfast.  Fruits such as bananas, apples and strawberries are a worthy source of fibre.

Concentration and Focus – Skipping breakfast is no good, you will lose focus and concentration because you are hungry. Also the brain needs some fuel after fasting overnight. A healthy breakfast provides you with a jumpstart to your day and helps you focus and think clearly throughout the day. Oats are a great source of fuel for your brain.
