6. Have a smoothie for breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eat breakfast like a king and dinner like a pauper. These are just a few of the catch lines or phrases which circulate in the conversation pool once in a while. Is there really any truth in this or is it a complete fallacy?
Assuming a person sleeps for 8 hours a night. That is a whole 8 hours that the body is left to digest the last meal that you ate. By the time a person wakes up in the morning they are in much need of some sustenance. This is where the term breakfast comes in. It is the meal where a person breaks their fast. In the early hours of the morning, blood sugar levels are relatively low. By eating breakfast, a person boosts these levels and thus ensures that the brain and body have the ingredients required for proper functioning.
In the morning, you are looking for a healthy boost in blood glucose levels, not an unnatural spike. A sweet treat for breakfast is most certainly not what the doctor- or the body for that matter- orders. For some people, mornings are quite a rushed event and a healthy breakfast is simply not an option and is too time-consuming. If this is the case, then why not drink your breakfast?
The sky is the limit when it comes to smoothies. One can pack in a portion of their daily dairy, vegetable, fruit and protein portion, all in this one drink. The only equipment needed is a blender. This drinkable meal will provide your body with many of the vitamin and nutrients needed for energy and immune system function. Instead of hitting the pastries, load up on your favorite fruits and veggies and drink up on the way to work.
