Foods you should not eat at breakfast

The body needs a lot of energy to work at its maximum. Some foods can ruin our morning as others can do the opposite.

Breakfast is widely considered the most important meal of the day. It provides the body with the energy needed for the day as the body resumes its metabolic activity after sleeping.

The body needs a lot of energy to work at its maximum potential. However, some foods can ruin our morning as others can do the opposite.

Bottled fruit juices

Breakfast is always associated with a plate of bread and a cup of orange juice. Many people tend to buy canned juice from supermarkets, believing that it will boost their health.

Unfortunately, bottled juice contains added artificial sweeteners that raise blood sugar levels and contribute to diseases such as diabetes in the long run.

It’s best to eat fresh fruit that contains healthy vitamins and fibers that factory-produced juices may be lacking.

Cakes and pastries

Just like packaged fruit juices, these foods contain a high amount of refined sugar.

Sugar provides instant energy, which dissipates quickly and ultimately makes people sleepy.

Cakes also have refined flour in their dough. Refined flour is wheat flour stripped of all nutrients, vitamins and fiber that aid digestion.

Without them, the flour is left with only calories. High amounts of calories can ultimately cause diabetes, obesity, and heart problems.

Coffee

Most professionals tend to start their day with a cup of coffee. While coffee is said to help those who drink it stay more alert due to the caffeine, some negative effects must be considered.

Excessive drinking of coffee is known to cause insomnia, heart palpitations, and anxiety, among others. The alertness-promoting effects of caffeine are also temporary.

It is best to avoid drinking coffee on an empty stomach.

Foods that contain protein and fiber, which coffee does not, will be a healthy breakfast choice.

Eggs, whole grain bread, and some boiled vegetables are an ideal breakfast.

Proteins energize us while fiber slows digestion and keeps us full for longer, which reduces the chances of weight gain and associated diseases.
