Breakfast Idea
Try this breakfast idea: Blueberry
crunch with yogurt, whole-grain cereal and sunflower seeds, Green tea
Start a healthy day by lowering your cancer risk with blueberries, which
have more free-radical-fighting antioxidants than any other fruit or
vegetable. Blueberries also help
boost memory, so you can find your car keys in the morning. Like the
blueberries, cereal fibre is heart-healthy.
Having soy yogurt for breakfast is also a good idea as it is a source of
low-fat vegetable protein rather than LDL raising animal fat. Plain
non-fat dairy yogurt is high in protein and contains friendly bacteria
that may help prevent yeast infections, boost immune function and
deactivate potential carcinogens.
And while refined white-flour carbohydrates, such as those in pastries,
bagels and many breakfast cereals, cause insulin surges and cravings,
whole grains are absorbed more slowly, keeping hunger pangs away and
energy on an even keel throughout the morning. (Look for “100% whole
grain” on the label.)
Instead of the usual cup of joe with breakfast,
which will give you a burst of energy followed by lethargy, try a cup
of green tea, which contains less caffeine, boosts immune function, and
may reduce the risk of cancers of the GI tract. Drinking green tea may
also reduce the recurrence of breast cancer.
