Breakfast, as is well known, plays an important role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, providing the body with the necessary energy boost for an active start to the day. After 10-12 hours of overnight fasting, the first meal in the morning is of particular importance, journalists say.
Dr. Malik emphasized that some foods that are often eaten at breakfast can have negative health effects if consumed in excess. These foods include:
Sugary cereals
These breakfast foods can cause your blood sugar levels to spike. Instead, it is recommended to choose low-sugar whole grain cereals to maintain stable energy levels.
Flavoured yoghurts
Often these yoghurts contain hidden sugar and artificial additives. A better option would be plain Greek yogurt, to which you can add fresh fruit for a natural sweetness.
White bread
Made from refined flour, white bread lacks fiber and nutrients. Replace it with whole grain bread to provide sustained energy and essential nutrients.
Sandwiches with unhealthy fillings
Sandwiches containing excess saturated fat and empty calories are not an optimal breakfast choice. Choose whole grain breads and lean protein sources such as egg whites, adding vegetables for added nutrition.
Pancakes and syrup
Traditional pancakes and syrup contain a lot of refined sugar. Prefer pancakes made with whole wheat or almond flour, and add fresh berries or pure maple syrup for sweetness.
Processed meats
Bacon, bologna, and sausages may be popular breakfast foods, but their high sodium and saturated fat content makes them undesirable. It's best to choose low-fat protein sources or plant-based alternatives.
Muffins and cakes
Store-bought products are often rich in refined sugars and unnatural fats. Preference should be given to homemade baked goods made from whole wheat flour with the addition of fruits or nuts for added nutrition.
Store fruit juices
Although they may appear healthy, store-bought fruit juices often lack fiber and contain added sugar. Preference should be given to whole fruits or freshly squeezed juices without the addition of artificial ingredients. Thus, it becomes clear what kind of foods it is better not to eat for breakfast.
