Why Breakfast is Important

If you were to go 6 to 9 hours during the day without eating you would be feeling very hungry but if you think about it, this is what you do during the night. If you don’t have breakfast then this ‘fast’ may continue for several hours longer.

Although this rest from food gives your digestion a well-deserved rest, delaying food for so long may lead to overeating when you do decide to eat and cause you to choose sugary foods instead of more balanced options to give you that instant energy hit.

You may also find you play ‘catch up’ with your calories leaving you eating far more than you should late at night, when it is more likely to be stored as fat then used for energy.

Remember – research shows that people who eat breakfast are more likely to maintain a healthy weight than those that don’t.

* Low blood sugar levels that may accompany bouts of fasting can cause symptoms of:
Paleness.

* Shakiness and trembling.

* Lack of energy, as a result you will feel fatigue, weakness, and have poor coordination.
* Increased hunger

* Irritability, anxiety, agitation

* You may also have excessive sweating /perspiration.

* Problem in concentrating

* Confusion

The brain in particular may perform better with the instant source of energy it gets from food (eating), so if you want to be working at your full potential then eat breakfast!

Breakfast ideas – for when you have NO time in the morning

Eat your fruits/vegetables nuts and seeds and still get to the office on time!

If you are too busy to make breakfast in the mornings buy a blender that is very easy to use and clean such as the Nutri Bullet.

The great thing about this type of blender is its design. The blender’s container is removable and doubles up as the cup you drink your smoothies from. The blender’s blade is also removable which makes it super easy to clean as there are no ‘hard to reach’ bits.

Why blending rather than juicing can be quicker and healthier:

* You are able to blend whole fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and so retain all the fibre

* When you juice you have to clean up the pulp (extracted fibre) which is fiddly and messy
When you juice you have to ‘feed’ through the produce which takes longer than blending it
* The Nutri Bullet can be blended with water, not fruit juice, making the smoothies much lower in fructose than smoothies made with fruit juice or juice by itself

*You can add nutrients rich foods such as spirulina, maca and barley grass when you blend and nuts and seeds which will give you essential fats

So you now you have some great ideas to get you started, if your still not convinced then why not try eating Breakfast for one week and see how you feel.
