Hellooooooo people! IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SKIP BREAKFAST (I don't know how you do it cause by break I'd just die of starvation), THIS IS FOR YOU. (FYI. I didn't copy and paste everything!     !) It's essential to break the fast, or refuel your body and brain, after the long night's sleep. We know that eating breakfast improves school performance for kids. Studies have shown consistently that children who eat breakfast have improved overall attendance and less tardiness. They also have better scores on tests, improved short-term memory and fewer problems with poor behavior in the classroom and on the playground. "I am smart because I eat BREAKFAST!" But what will that breakfast eating habit do to enhance work or job performance for adults? If you are a breakfast eater, you are less likely to have a work site accident and you have quicker reaction times. Many nutritionists believe that like kids, adults have better attitudes, increased verbal fluency, better performance at cognitive tasks and need fewer sick days when they eat breakfast. They are also less likely to feel sluggish and less prone to eating erratically or giving in to junk food cravings.

 Yummmmmmmmmy! (Here's what you people have been waiting to see!) Eating breakfast can help you stay slim, according to Harvard researchers, and it may reduce your risk of acquiring type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Obesity and insulin resistance rates were 35 percent to 50 percent lower among people who ate breakfast every day, compared to those who skipped breakfast. Insulin resistance syndrome is a metabolic disorder and those who have it are at higher risk for developing Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. In another recent study, people who are successful in losing weight and then keeping it off for at least a year have the breakfast-eating habit. Breakfast eaters tend to consume less fat and cholesterol at the same time they are taking in more of other important vitamins and minerals, while on average weighing less than those who skip the first meal of the day. (READ THIS ALL YOU NON-BREAKFAST EATING PEOPLE!) Those who skip breakfast in order to reduce calorie intake and lose weight are sabotaging themselves(  !!!). Breakfast skippers tend to more than make up for those skipped calories as they get overly hungry and give into impulsive snacking and overeating later in the day. They also have difficulty making up for the vitamins and other nutrients missed by avoiding breakfast. Breakfast eaters, on the other hand, typically take in more calcium, iron, folic acid (folate) and vitamins A, B6, C and D. Here are some suggestions for healthy breakfasts that take two minutes or less to prepare: (I highlighted those I liiiiike!) - Whole grain cereal, milk, banana
- Peanut butter and jelly sandwich and juice
- Whole grain toaster waffle with applesauce and low-fat sour cream
- Yogurt, granola and fruit
- Bran muffin, milk and fruit
- Cheese and whole grain crackers with juice
- Leftover pizza, enchiladas or spaghetti, thoroughly reheated in the microwave
- String cheese, fresh or canned fruit, and whole wheat toast
- A fruit and yogurt smoothie made in the blender, accompanied by a bagel
And for those who don't wake hungry and ready to eat, it is easy to take along a snack to eat mid-morning. Just pack some fresh or dried fruit along with a carton of milk or yogurt and a handful of nuts. A low-fat energy bar or a bagel can be eaten with some cheese and juice. THE END!:D
Eh so cute! Bye bye! |
