Breakfast of champions!


Do you often miss your breakfast?
Or, is your breakfast just a cup of black coffee and some mints? 

One of the simple ways to kick-start your metabolism in the morning after sleeping for 6 – 8 hours, is to have a hearty, healthy breakfast!

Try to have a combination of proteins and complex carbohydrates like:
-> Soft-boiled or hard-boiled eggs with whole-meal bread, spread with almond or sesame/tahini paste and some lettuce;

-> Natural yogurt with a mixture of raw nuts and seeds, and sprinkle with dried fruits like cranberries, raisins and apricots;

-> Whole grains like cooked, rolled oats with pine seeds, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds with soy bean milk, and top with your favourite fruit; or,

-> Soba wheat noodles with tofu and beans in miso soup, top with shredded carrots, cucumbers and radish for an Asian twist!

According to a study by the American Journal of Epidemiology, people who did not have breakfast, put on twice as much weight over a period of four years as compared to people who ate breakfast daily.

Now, surely this makes sense to have your breakfast daily!
