Breakfast Like A King!

No matter how busy your mornings are, you should never skip breakfast, for it poses several short-term as well as long-term threats to your health. On the contrary, it is always advisable to have the heaviest and most nutrition-rich meal of your day for breakfast. There are endless options when it comes to breakfast; and no, not everything that is healthy needs to have a not-so-good taste. Once we start functioning fully after waking up, after a couple of hours of so, our body needs important nutrients such as calcium, iron, vitamins, proteins, fibre. If these are not provided in the form of simple Indian vegetarian recipes, it is less likely to be compensated for later in the day.

Having a breakfast which is healthy and nutritious will naturally get you started with the day on the right track. In fact, you can maintain your weight better since having a good breakfast will help in keeping your metabolism and blood glucose count in fine shape. You should commence each day in the best possible manner by choosing healthier options as far as your breakfast is concerned. The goal here is to lower overall intake of calories every day. As it kick-starts metabolism, you can burn calories throughout your day. There are several reports and studies which indicate that skipping breakfast may lead to your body’s own cycle of eating and fasting being hampered. Upon waking up, blood sugar is required for building muscles and enabling better brain work. However, these levels are on the lower side. Having a good breakfast helps in getting more energy and also prevents over-indulging on food throughout the rest of the day.
