From sugary cereals to processed meats, find out what to avoid and why switching up your breakfast habits could make a big difference in your overall well-being.
Sugary Cereals
Breakfast cereals that have high sugar and little to no fiber can raise your blood sugar levels quickly, thus making you hungry again sooner and also unfortunately supporting greater health risks in the long-term.
Processed Meats (Bacon, Sausage and Ham)
Processed meats do certainly have sodium, fat and food additives that can lead to increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, and other cancers.
Pastries and Muffins
Pastries, croissants, and muffins tend to have higher amounts of sugar and unhealthy fat; in the longer-term they are damaging to our health overall (weight gain, cholesterol, heart disease), therefore we suggest you eat them less frequently.
White Bread Toast with Sweet Spreads
Refined flour white bread spread with sugary spreads will spike your energy levels for a short period, provide minimal nutrition for energy sources, while increasing your diabetes risk.
Fruit Juices
Fruit juices are high in sugar, lack fiber, and cause spikes in blood sugar levels with potential long-term risk of type 2 diabetes.
Flavored Yogurt
Many flavored yogurts have added sugars and artificial flavors, which can override the possible benefits of yogurt, and can lead to negative health consequences if you are keeping track of calorie intake or portion sizes.
