Five of the healthiest breakfast foods possible

We call it breakfast because that is what we are doing, breaking a fast as we will have gone for numerous hours overnight without eating or drinking a thing.

Breakfast is vital because as we haven’t eaten or drank anything our metabolisms will have slowed right down and so our bodies won’t be running at full capacity.

We won’t have energy, we’ll feel tired, our brains won’t function properly, we’ll feel weak, and we’ll find ourselves more susceptible to weight gain due to our decreased metabolisms.

You need to start your day off right and for that reason here are five of the healthiest and most beneficial breakfast foods possible.

Oatmeal

To really kick-start your metabolism and set your body up for the day ahead then oatmeal is absolutely ideal.

Oatmeal is a great source of slow-release carbohydrates so you will get a steady release of energy over several hours as your body digests the food.

This will also help keep hunger at bay as the food takes so long to digest. Oatmeal is also rich in minerals including iron, which help promote good blood cell health.

There are also numerous B vitamins which strengthen the immune system and help protect against numerous cancers too. It also tastes great too, which is always an added bonus.

Blueberries

Although fresh fruit is still very healthy, we do need to watch how much we consume as certain varieties contain quite large amounts of natural fructose sugars, which can be unhealthy in high doses.

Blueberries are great because they’re a fruit with an incredibly low fructose count.

As well as that blueberries aren’t just a healthy food, they’re a super-food as they are packed full of vitamins, minerals, and powerful antioxidants that help strengthen the immune system, prevent cancers and other diseases, improve our brain function, improve our skin, boost our metabolisms, and much more on top of that.

Natural Greek yoghurt

Natural Greek yoghurt is great because it’s low in saturated fat, it’s a great source of protein, and it contains healthy bacteria that have been proven to help promote gut health and healthy digestion.

Eggs

Eggs are another food ideal for breakfast as they’re versatile, they’re quick and easy, and they taste great too. Oh, and on top of all of that, they’re also very healthy as well.

Eggs are a great source of protein which is essential for muscle and cell growth and protection.

They’re also the only food to contain all amino acids required by the body in one sitting.

As if that wasn’t enough, they also contain vitamins and minerals and are naturally low in saturated fat and calories.

Whole wheat bread

Bread has a bad reputation because white breads are naturally unhealthy.

Brown bread such as whole wheat bread however, is very beneficial and healthy indeed.

It is slower to be digested and so helps suppress appetite and keeps you feeling full.

It provides a steady release of energy, and it is rich in numerous b-vitamins that are notoriously hard to find in many food items.

Another great benefit is that it is a great source of dietary fiber which helps promote a healthy digestive system.
