Breakfast should be at 7.00am

Eating soon after you wake up can raise your energy level. It also encourages you to be more active all through the morning and into the afternoon. The best time to achieve this is between 7.00am and 8.00am.
Blood sugar levels are naturally low when you wake so eating within about 60 minutes after getting up, can help prevent a complete blood sugar crash.
Apart from increased energy levels, there are other benefits of eating an early breakfast?
It helps with weight loss
Starting the day with breakfast can stabilise your blood sugar. This will help you control cravings and hunger so you will not be tempted to overeat later in the day. Eating a fiber-rich breakfast increases these benefits even further. Fibre fills you up and keeps you full for longer.
Breakfast increases energy
A healthy breakfast will provide a number of nutrients that can increase energy and fight fatigue. Avoid starting the day with a sugary breakfast. This will cause your blood sugar to peak fast but then cause it to crash suddenly, leaving you tired and weak.
It improves mental alertness
A well-balanced breakfast will also increase mental alertness and concentration. Healthy carbohydrates are essential for this, since they provide the glucose that fuels your brain. Good choices for healthy carbs include low-fat granola, fruits, and whole-grain crackers.
It provides you with nutrients
Breakfast is an ideal time to meet your calcium and fibre needs for the day. Add a glass of orange juice and you will be getting plenty of vitamin C. While you can teach your children how to choose a healthy lunch, you cannot really control their final decision. This means breakfast is your chance to get their fill of nutrients before they set off for the day. If nothing else, start the day with a fortified cereal, which often has added vitamins and minerals.
Increases ability to make better food choices
Eating a healthy breakfast not only starts your day with a nutritious meal; it also paves the way for better nutrition for the rest of the day. Eat more fruit and vegetables, less fat and cholesterol, more vitamins and minerals to have a lower blood cholesterol level, which reduces the risk of heart disease.
Best foods for breakfast…
Fresh and vegetables: Contribute significant amounts of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which enhance your immune system.
Water: Supports your hydration needs.
Fibre: Vital for digestive wellness.
Whole grain breads and cereal: Whole grains are rich in fibre and nutrients, such as B-vitamins, selenium, magnesium and iron. Vitamin-fortified whole grain cereals supply your daily-recommended allowance of essential vitamins and minerals as well.
Low-fat dairy products: Incorporating protein-rich foods into your breakfast can enhance your ability to concentrate and learn and ensure that your energy levels remain stable. In addition to providing protein, low-fat dairy products provide significant amounts of nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and zinc. To incorporate dairy products into your breakfast meals, enjoy skim or low-fat milk with whole grain cereal or prepare a fruit smoothing using yogurt or low-fat milk. If you do not consume or tolerate dairy products, non-dairy equivalents, such as soy and lactose-free milk, provide similar benefits.
