Breakfast With The Docs

A few weekends ago, we had a wonderful event at HealthWise Chiropractic with Dr. Jeremy Steel and Dr. Jackie Behymer. “Breakfast With The Docs” was an event with an organic breakfast and two informative presentations by Dr. Steel and myself. We talked about breakfast and it’s importance.

Starting your day with a healthy breakfast ensures better performance in work or school, it helps you have better concentration and problem-solving skills. Research suggests that protein rich foods make it easier to concentrate at length. When we are sleeping at night, our metabolism slows down and having a meal in the morning helps kick start your metabolism. A healthy breakfast helps energize you and balances your blood sugar, it also helps get you on track to make better choice throughout the day. If you eat a healthy breakfast, you are more likely to reach for a healthier snack when you do need one.

Skipping breakfast has its downfalls. People who skip breakfast are likely to feel really hungry later in the morning and eat something unhealthy mid-morning. Even a light breakfast can help break this cycle by fueling your body and brain.

Here are some simple breakfast ideas:

• Oatmeal
• With nuts or dried fruit
• Yogurt
• Plus fruit
• Plus bran flakes, granola or oatmeal
• Breakfast Burrito
• Whole grain tortilla
• Eggs
• Cheese or avocado
• Yogurt – w/ 1-2 tsp of jam
• Whole grain waffle with nut butter and raisins
• Fruit + cheese
• Smoothie
• Yogurt or milk or milk alternative
• Fruit
• Nut butter
• Protein powder

Breakfast does not have to be a large or time consuming meal, the nutritious choices discussed above are easy and convenient. Try non-traditional breakfast foods such as soup – a nice warm soup is a great way to start a winter morning. Take a look at breakfasts from other cultures around the world – lentil soups and frittatas just a couple of examples of foods that you can try for breakfast.
