Happy Better Breakfast Month!

Mom was right! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives your body and brain fuel for the day. Also, studies show that people who skip breakfast end up eating too many calories later in the day leading to extra weight.

So what is a better breakfast? A good breakfast includes some sort of lean protein. This includes yoghurt, skim milk, eggs (not fried), turkey bacon/sausage, nuts, and peanut butter. Also a good breakfast includes fiber and whole grains such as bran cereal, oatmeal, whole grain bread. Many products now advertise that they include whole grains but you might want to check the label. They label should read 5 or more grams of fiber. Protein and whole grains help keep your blood sugar steady throughout the morning and keep you feeling full longer.
