Whole Wheat Cereal

In the morning, we need nutrition that provides us with energy to last us throughout the day, to provide us with physical and mental strength. One food that can provide us with that is whole wheat; this food is rich with vitamins, minerals, and fiber. We don’t normally think of breakfast cereal as an essential nutrient, as we normally see those in the supermarket which contain sugars and preservatives. We can, however, choose simple cereals that are meant for healthy diets, such as the following:

• Oatmeal; the queen of cereals, that supports energy whilst relaxing the nervous system. It is rich in fiber and helps the digestive system. It’s great when mixed with a bit of milk and honey; but can also be consumed raw if desired.
• Whole brown rice: even though it’s a rice that we eat at lunch time, we can also eat it with milk or as a rice drink with cinnamon and lime. A delicious rice milk drink is an excellent breakfast, ideally served cold.
• Corn: Many countries use corn-based cereals for breakfast.

Fruit

Fruit is great, especially in the morning, and provides long-lasting energy for the body. You can eat it raw, or in fruit juice, in jam, or dried. Here are some examples:

• Citrus:  pomelo or oranges are great for breakfast, as they provide lots of energy.
• Figs: ideal in combating stress
• Pears: rich in silicon, a mineral necessary for skin, hair and nails
• Apple: a fruit rich in malic acid and tartaric acid, which helps us prevent multiple illnesses, including tooth decay
• Papaya: ideal for those suffering digestive problems
• Pineapple: contains digestive enzymes and has anti-inflammatory properties
• banana: very nutritious and rich in magnesium, a mineral that supports muscles and the nervous system
• Dried Fruits: contains lots of fiber and energy.

Dried Fruit

Dried fruits contain high levels of healthy fats, good for our bodies, and help provide energy and fiber. We recommend eating it raw or toasted, but avoid those that are salty or fried, as those can lose their nutritious value. The most recommended are:

• Walnuts
• Almonds
• Peanuts
• Pistachios
• Hazelnuts
• Pine nuts

Dairy or Protein

Many dairy products are common breakfasts, such as:

• Natural Yogurt
• Cheese
• Cottage cheese

Dairy is essential, although we can substitute it with other nutrients that contain proteins; for example, eggs.

Natural Sweetener

If you’d like to add a sweetener to the recommended foods, always try to avoid white sugar; it not only  robs us of energy but also robs us of minerals. Try to substitute it for one of these natural sweeteners:

• Unadulterated honey
• Agave nectar
