10 healthy foods for breakfast

You may also like





Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so you really don’t want to go rushing out the door in the mornings with nothing more than a cup of coffee inside you. Breakfast kick starts your metabolism and it gives you the energy you need to keep you going until lunchtime. It also helps you not to eat too much during the day, so it’s a great way to help you stay on track with a diet. The ideal breakfast would be one that contains a good mixture of carbohydrates, fibre and protein, so let’s take a look at ten of the best foods to include in a healthy breakfast.

1. Eggs

Some people shy away from eggs because they have a bad reputation for containing too much cholesterol. It is true that egg yolks do contain quite a lot of cholesterol, but that is far outweighed by the protein and Vitamin D that they contain. Eggs make a great high protein start the day and recent research has shown that the cholesterol they contain is nowhere near as damaging as people once thought.

2. Oatmeal

Oats are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, folates and fibre and they will fill you up and provide a source of energy that will last you all morning. Oats have also been proven to lower the levels of bad cholesterol in the body, so they are very good for the health of your heart. The best type of oats to use is the steel cut varieties, which contain more fibre than rolled oats do. The only types of oats to avoid are the flavoured kinds, which can contain a lot of added sugar.

3. Watermelon

You lose a lot of water while you sleep, so rehydrating in the morning is just as important as eating a healthy breakfast and watermelon can help you out there. As well as lots of water to rehydrate you, a slice of watermelon will also provide you with a generous helping of lycopene, which is a plant nutrient that is good for heart health and for your vision.


4. Flaxseed

You can add a boost of nutrients to your breakfast food with a sprinkling of flaxseed. Sprinkle flaxseed over breakfast cereals, fruit, or add it to smoothies, and it will provide you with omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and an antioxidant called lignin, which has been proven to protect against breast cancer. It also adds a lovely nutty flavour to foods too.

5. Grapefruit

Grapefruit makes a tasty start to the day and it could help you lose weight too. Grapefruit is filling, hydrating and it is packed full of antioxidants. Eating fruit also boosts the body’s fat burning functions and helps to curb the appetite. For a well-rounded breakfast, pair grapefruit with an egg, or some yoghurt, so you get the protein you need as well.

6. Greek yoghurt

Greek yoghurt is a wonderful low fat source of protein that will fill you up for very few calories. To give it a bit more flavour, and some added nutrition, add some of your own fresh fruit to a plain Greek Yoghurt. It’s also a very good source of calcium that will help strengthen teeth and bones.

7. Blueberries

Blueberries contain a lot less calories than most other fruits, so you can pile them high on your breakfast cereal or add them to your Greek yoghurt and not worry at all about the calories. They are also packed full of antioxidants that fight disease and improve your overall health. Fresh or frozen, blueberries can add a nutritional punch to all kinds of other breakfast foods.

8. Almond butter


If you don’t like eggs or diary, you can always get your morning dose of protein from almond butter. Spread it on wholegrain toast and you will get plenty of energy giving protein and lots of healthy monounsaturated fats. Pair it with a piece of fruit, like a banana or an apple, and you will a have perfectly balanced, nutritional breakfast.

9. Bananas

Bananas are a wonderfully nutritious fruit. They are a superb source of potassium, which lowers blood pressure and provides energy, and they are fibre rich, so they’ll keep you feeling full for a long time. Slice up a banana and you can add it to oatmeal, breakfast cereals, or put it on top of your wholegrain toast and almond butter.

10. Orange juice

Freshly squeezed orange juice is the classic breakfast drink. It is high in calories, so stick with one small glass a day. It does, however, provide you with a wonderful boost of Vitamin C, which will boost your immune system and help to keep those colds at bay.

 If you wear a short enough skirt, the party will come to you. Dorothy Parker  A good speech should be like a woman's skirt: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest Winston Churchill  Fashion is born by small facts, trends, or even politics, never by trying to make little pleats and furbelows, by trinkets, by clothes easy to copy, or by the shortening or lengthening of a skirt. Elsa Schiaparelli  A short skirt and lots of makeup won't impress me. Harry Styles  The idea that men 'lose control' around a woman in a short skirt is insulting to men, completely relieves perpetrators of responsibility, and erases and ignores male victims. Laura Bates  That is what I want to tell you about: the girls with their short skirts and bright eyes and big-city dreams. The girls of 1929. Anna Godbersen  I like to wear a lot of baggy things.

 I feel like if you are with someone through the process of pregnancy and delivery, if nothing else, there is such an incredible amount of respect that would lead into some sort of love in one way or another. Megan Fox  I was eating lots of vegetables and fruit every day during my pregnancy - my baby needed the best of the best, so it was the opposite of overeating. I had this being inside of me, and I was responsible for everything he got. Gisele Bundchen  I'm trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.

18 Charming Black outfits images and quotes

 I have a great body, I really do. But I want to be taken seriously as an artist, and wearing anything that shows it off will be a distraction from the music. That's how my signature uniform, my tuxedo, came about. It's classic and timeless. You'll see me in black, white, and a pop of color on my lips. That pop adds a little magic. Janelle Monae  Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It's like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there're palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It's a very weird place. Grimes  “There’s something about black. You feel hidden away in it.” —  Georgia O’Keeffe  “Black is not sad. Bright colours are what depress me. They’re so... empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not.” —  Ann Demeulemeester  I'm...

In this post below you can see  45 Cute Toe Nail Art Ideas For Summer. Beside it we share with you some interesting facts about your toenails  Toenails are made of the same dead skin tissue as fingernails but are two to three times thicker. Toenails are quite thick due to friction and fungus. In general they also get quite the rough ride having to put up with woolly socks, tight shoes, and being stepped on.  We recommend cutting toenails straight across and NOT curving the ends. Refining the ends with an emery board to lessen the sharp points at the nail ends is better than cutting them down with scissors. Another option is to gently lift the ends of the nail and place a small ball of cotton under them to help the nail stay flat and prevent it curving downwards.  The most common reason a toenail falls off is due to a certain contagious fungal infection.  You might think your toenails look super clean but they are not "Even if you thin...

 A label is a soul-tattoo that is ingrained deep in our hearts, so much so that it determines how we see ourselves, And how we see ourselves determines how we live... A destructive label leads to a destructive life. There is a soul thief, a dark enemy, who wants to nail ruinous labels to your heart so that he can steal your life. Jesus wants to give you life giving labels that release your potential for the good of the world. Derwin L. Gray  One of the series I like is D.M. Cornish's 'Monster Blood Tattoo,' in which he creates a whole language. Kids who are reading that are building a language in their heads. There's no real cognitive difference.
