The Perfect BreakFast

How does breakfast affect the human organism?

Energy source from breakfast:

When we sleep during the night our body still needs energy even if it is in a state of sleep. Especially our brain needs glucose which is a form of carbohydrate. Our organism obtains carbohydrates from meals and snacks we eat during the day, storing them in the form of glycogen in our muscles and liver.

During the night, our organism turns glycogen in glucose and uses it as a source of energy, like a fuel, for its needs. For this reason, eating breakfast is essential to restore the glycogen reserves which will be necessary for our morning activities.

Metabolism affected:

Breakfast allows metabolism to sustain the rapid changes that are necessary for our morning doings.

After each meal, there is an increase in the oxygen engagement due to the fact that the ingestion and digestion of the food requires more energy from our body. At the same time this procedure comes along with the production of heat, known as the thermic effect of food.

During the night, when we are asleep, our metabolism slows down. But when we eat breakfast a while after we get up, then the metabolism starts off with more east, accelerates and allows us to activate a lot faster and more effectively.

Fat reduction

Research has shown that people, who do not eat breakfast, tend to eat greasy food during the rest of the day. Also during the rest of the morning they seem to prefer eating snacks rich in fat.

Breakfast is the perfect way to give our organism a lot of the necessary nutrients needed during the day. Research has shown that people who eat breakfast, tend to have a more balanced diet, poorer in fat and richer in carbohydrates, in compatre with the ones that skip their breakfast.

Including cereal in your breakfast, which is rich in carbohydrate and poor in fat, a feeling of fullness is created avoiding this way that strong need for snacks during the morning.

Also enhanced cereal include important vitamins like vitamin B (necessary for energy production) and iron (necessary for blood production and especially hemoglobin)

Milk is a rich source of protein, vitamin B like riboflavin and vitamin B12. It also includes important inorganic substances that are needed by our organism, such as magnesium, spelter and calcium which is necessary for healthy bones and teeth.

Moreover let us not forget that eating whole grains, offers many advantages in general health. Research has shown that people have less risk for heart diseases and certain cancer forms by eating more wholemeal products. Also, a diet rich in fibre allows a better functioning of the digestive system with less risk of constipation.
The breakfast is the most good and easy ways to supply the body with calcium. Drinking milk, putting milk in your cereal to eat or eating yogurt can cover more than half of the daily needs of your body for calcium.

Research is also been done to show if there is a connection between iron and intelligence (IQ). Some research did show that. The engagement of iron holds a great deal, especially for young women. Breakfast is the best opportunity to load ourselves with iron. Wholemeal cereal and wholemeal bread contain iron. In addition to that, a glass of orange juice will provide us with vitamin C which helps absorbing iron not coming from meat.
