Breakfast

Start your day with fresh fruits. Eat them empty stomach because the digestion and conversion of them into energy (glucose) is rapid. Lower in sugar cereals with fruits are a nice combination. You can team this breakfast with skim or free-of-fat milk. Apples, peaches, and blueberries are advisable fruits because they contain antioxidants and fiber. A muffin with one of these fruits completes your cereal quota. Having sprouts can also be healthy.

Diet and nutrition wonder tip or consider a busted myth: Don’t cut out the fat!

Many women have been led to believe that dietary fat is unhealthy and contributes to weight gain. But fats are a necessary part of a healthy diet. What matters are the types of fat you eat and good fats are needed for a healthy body and skin glow too as below:

1. Healthy fats boost your brainpower and mood. Fats are essential to healthy brain function. They put you in a good mood and keep you mentally sharp.
2. Healthy fats promote healthy pregnancies. When you’re pregnant, both you and your growing baby need healthy fat to feel your best. Fat is especially important to your baby’s developing brain and nervous system.
3. They contribute to lifelong beauty. Fats are essential for vibrant, glowing skin, hair, and nails. A lack of healthy fats in your diet can lead to dull, flaky skin, brittle nails, and dry or easily damaged hair.
4. Healthy fats help control cravings. Because fat is so dense in calories, a little goes a long way in making you feel full. Small amounts of good fats like nuts or seeds make great satisfying snacks. 
5. Fats lower the glycemic index of foods, easing the spike in blood sugar that results from eating carbohydrates.
