In honour of National Breakfast Week I am going to have a look at the benefits of a fresh fruity breakfast and how it can drastically improve your health.
Fruit is the perfect breakfast – it wakes up the body and gives your metabolism a gentle nudge, rather than the two footed drop kick of a strong mug of coffee! Fruits that are high in vitamin C like oranges, grapefruit and kiwis help your body to burn fat for energy, whilst bananas help to stabilise your blood sugar and keep you feeling full for longer.
Your body does most of its detoxification in the morning, so eating fruits during this time means energy is used for removing toxins and impurities from your body, rather than being wasted trying to digest heavy or fatty foods. The fibre in fruit also helps to eliminate waste matter in the digestive tract and get rid of the dreaded “bloated belly” feeling.
Studies have shown that those who just have fruit for breakfast tend to be leaner, healthier and are more productive during the day. If you’re not sure about fruit alone, try sprinkling a handful of antioxidant rich berries on your cereal or have a slice of watermelon for a healthy and hydrated start to your day.
We all know that skipping breakfast is a horrific sin, but sometimes that extra fifteen minutes in bed is just so much more appealing than a mushy bowl of cereal or some burnt toast. Fruit is a great option for breakfast on the run, just grab an orange and a banana as you dash out of the door. You could even bung some berries in a blender for a delicious breakfast smoothie.
