Just woke up and late for school or work ? Skipping breakfast ?
 
 
Ever wondered how that affects your day, or in particular your body? Our body needs a good start with the first meal we consume. It provides us the energy to start our day. Here’s why:
 
 
Be it working or studying, we need to either walk or take a transport to our destination. This requires energy. Our body, for the past 6-8 hours of sleep, do not digest any food. That leaves our body with no energy when we perform these tasks. While we walk or stand, energy is needed.
 
 
Once we reach our destination - place of work or school, we start to sit down, communicate, think of daily tasks or attend lectures. Our brains requires nutrients, vitamins and minerals to get things working. Our body needs energy to work and proteins to keep our muscles going. Unless we are super human, we may think slower than usual, get tired easily and affect our performance.
 
 
Some of us here could get gastric or stomach upsets easily. I’m one of them. I have a high metabolism rate so if I don’t eat something for longer than 3-4 hours, I’ll feel uneasy. My gastric juices will be rumbling about, urging me to eat something! This is important, which leads us to the next reason.
 
 
A proper and timely meals is important as well. We’ll talk about the “proper” aspect later. If we set out eating breakfast at this time, we can calculate when our next meal should be. I don’t want to make it sound like you are taking medicine, but it is discipline that restores energy for you and your body, providing enough fuel our mind and body.
 
 
Lets just say you ate at 8:00am, your next meal should be somewhere near 11:30am to 12:30pm. With this example we can calculate the optimal time to have your lunch, which is more important than your breakfast though.
 
 
A proper breakfast as mentioned, is what is made up of. We don’t just eat like we are eating for lunch with high energy and proteins food. Here are some of examples I take for breakfast:
 
 
1) Bread - with peanut butter and cheese
2) Cereals - usually corn food with milk
3) Dry noodles - with egg (rarely)
4) Simple sausage muffin + a cup of milo (rarely) - from Macdonalds !
5) I’ll take in any one of 1-3 + a cup of whey proteins. Thats for my body’s energy
 
 
I usually have lots of 1) and 2) at home, as I often eat them as some of the smaller meals in between. By looking at these, you can tell I don’t eat in quantity, but rather in quality. My meals our often fast to prepare, as I leave my house quickly to rush for the public transport.
 
 
For 3 , it is usually bought nearby, not a very healthy alternative I would say. For 4, I can say it is quite a complete and sufficient for a breakfast. I will eat these when I really do not have the time to make my own breakfast.
 
 
Lastly for 5, it is taken only when I have did some exercising or workout for the past 2-3 days, and I would take these proteins. refer to my post here:

They fast and easy to prepare. Just mix a scoop of it in water and stir. The ones I got dissolve instantly, so you might consider this when buying. This 1 scoop of whey protein provides the proteins I need for the day, so at least I don’t have to worry about not having enough proteins from food.
 
 
I believe that different people of have different needs in their Buy Keftab Online without prescription meal intakes. Some may be more than others, some lesser. Older folks might not need as much as I am, but definitely not nothing !
 
 
The proper breakfast shuould contain stuff more of energy-giving good, alittle of fibre and proteins. Breads and cereals are good sources of energy. Fruits and salads are good source of fibre. As for proteins, it includes milk, meat, egg etc
 
 
To end, breakfast is suppose to give you energy! You may have different breakfast plans that you are used to, but just to add on that healthy food leads to healthy living. And therefore a healthy body and mind. In the next post, I’ll list the different types of food that you should be beware of when consuming them. Happy eating !
