A balanced and proper breakfast is crucial to maintaining a healthy body. Skipping this meal is not advisable. Remember, a healthy breakfast is a key start to the day, according to coach Yurii Popko.

What to eat for breakfast

A balanced breakfast should include proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and fiber.

For example, grains that require a longer cooking time, not instant varieties. This includes rolled oats or buckwheat. Quality whole grains should be cooked for 15-20 minutes.

Such a breakfast is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, plant-based protein, and fiber. Additionally, boiling two eggs provides an ideal source of protein, and the yolk contains animal fat, which is beneficial and necessary for the body.

"Next, add sliced vegetables and possibly avocado – a source of plant-based fat, resulting in a breakfast containing carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and fat," writes the coach.

Benefits of breakfast

It's long been known that skipping breakfast is not advisable, as it's an important meal. Here are the main benefits of having breakfast:

  • People who eat breakfast consume more essential nutrients necessary for a healthy body and lifestyle.
  • People who eat breakfast tend to be slimmer than those who skip it.
  • Breakfast enhances cognitive functions, improves concentration, and stimulates physical activity.
  • Breakfast provides many essential nutrients to children's bodies.

Regular and timely breakfasts can also reduce nighttime eating and snacking, which is crucial since most people are least active in the evening.
