Have a heart healthy breakfast
Eggs are wonderful and you need them
Eating breakfast helps us to concentrate and
gets the day off to a good start.
A regular pattern of meals which starts with breakfast is important
to make sure you get all the
nutrients you need
during the day.
It can also help to stop you from getting
overly hungry, which is when you are more likely to make less
healthy choices - like reaching for the biscuit tin
mid-morning.
You don’t have to have a big cooked breakfast - a drink and a piece
of
fruit or a pot of
yoghurt is a
good start to help get you into the habit.
Or
try taking a box of cereal to work to keep on your desk so you
can eat something when you’ve had time to wake up a
bit.
If you already have breakfast then you’re one
step ahead already, but there are still things you can do to make
it a healthier choice
Breakfast ideas
For an everyday option, wholegrain toast or breakfast cereals like
porridge with low fat milk or yoghurt are good choices.
Try sliced banana or dried fruit on top as an alternative to
sugar or honey. Then you’ll have started on your five-a-day before
you’ve left the house!
