The Better Breakfast

I was reading another article recently about the importance of having a good breakfast, and eating these foods at breakfast is being promoted as a good immune and metabolism boost.

You start with a small bowl of porridge with milk and blueberries. The porridge gives you some good carbohydrates and helps lower your bad cholesterol while the blueberries contain antioxidants which help counteract harmful free radicals in your body.

Next we have half a tin of baked beans on wholemeal toast with grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. The wholemeal bread gives you a slow carbohydrate release, while the beans give you protein. The grilled tomatoes contain lycopene which is an anti-cancer phytochemical, and mushrooms give you potassium.

You finish this off with a drink of orange juice providing you with Vitamin C.

Over all you have a nicely balanced meal which will benefit your metabolism and help boost your immune system through the morning.

I think I might give this one a try.

      Hey Mark,

      I’m glad I already had lunch, since you’re definitely making me hungry here ;-) Thanks nevertheless for this great post, guess I’m going to give it a try one of these days too.

      Cheers,
      Jean-Marie

      Yeah everything you mention above is fine except milk. milk is so fattening. you might as well put bacon in a bowl and eat that, actually bacon is safer for you then milk. milk is so pumped full of hormones that do only harm to you. no benefits. thanks

      Hi Benyamin.

      Yes, certainly what you say is true. I guess it depends which country you are in. The quality of milk can be variable, but overall the trend seems to be towards the situation you mention.

      Unfortunately unless you buy locally and know what you are buying, there is a risk. I guess this world wide trend is placing us in trouble across the food chain.
