How often do you run out of the house without breakfast? And then, being hungry, you run into a cafe and absorb some fast food? And then you get on the scales and look at the figure with horror. But in fact there is nothing difficult in that in the morning to rise on 10 minutes earlier and easy to have breakfast. The benefit of breakfast is obvious: you can easily control your weight and, giving the body the necessary elements and energy, will feel great. However, there is a difference between a cup of coffee with buns and oatmeal. Let's talk about what it is better to eat for breakfast.
Useful breakfast
Do not start your day with consumption of baking, various sweets, fatty meat and other hazards. Yes, it's delicious, but it will not benefit your body and instead of health and good mood it will bring problems and excess weight. The ideal breakfast consists of products containing complex, not simple carbohydrates. Such products include, for example:
- oatmeal (not instant cereals, but Hercules);
- buckwheat;
- rice;
- beans;
- lentils;
- peas;
- bran;
- bread.
Salads from various vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, etc.) are also useful. What is the difference between complex carbohydrates and fast ones? Fast carbohydrates are instantly absorbed and give energy, but if you do not consume this energy, it goes to reserves in the form of fat deposits. Complex, on the contrary, is absorbed for a long time and supplies the organism with energy for a long time. After such a breakfast you will not soon feel hungry and at lunch you will not rush to any food.
If you are a sweet tooth, then your favorite goodies are also better to use in the morning. In the first half of the day, the body is set to consume energy, and towards evening, on the contrary, it turns into a saving mode.
Breakfast time
It is not necessary to pounce on food immediately after awakening. The body takes time to wake up and "pull all the systems" out of sleep. We recommend before breakfast for 15-20 minutes to drink a glass of pure still water, this will allow your stomach to prepare for food intake.
Delicious and quick breakfast
Of course, most of us dream in the morning to sleep a little longer and fiercely hate the ringing of the alarm clock. In order not to spend a lot of time preparing breakfast and lying in a warm bed for an extra 5 minutes, think over your diet from the evening.
Porridge Hercules very few people like, but it's easy to fix. It is prepared quickly, put it on the stove, and while you are washing and brushing your teeth, it will come to the ready. Rinse it with water, pouring out excess liquid, you will get crumbly porridge, in which you can add yogurt, honey or jam.
You can make a sandwich, but instead of white bread, take crusty bread, put cheese, pieces of vegetables, greens on them and get a healthy and full breakfast.
You will save even more time if you prepare food from the evening. For example, you can bake a chicken breast, cut it into slices and mix it with vegetables, rice, and cheese cubes. You will get a hearty, tasty and very useful dish that can be served cold or slightly heated in a microwave.
In the hypermarket, there are full boxes of muesli, flakes and other morning fast food. In quality, they are in any case inferior to plain oatmeal or rice porridge, but if you suddenly overslept and the time is very short, then it is better to eat a few spoons of muesli than on the way to hastily chew a hamburger.
Carefully watch your diet, and you will feel how it affects your health and mood positively.
