Cereals

Breakfast often is touted as the most important meal of the day, and that’s true whether you fill up on healthy museli or sugar-packed cereal. However, the food you choose in the morning will fuel you for the rest of the day, so it pays to pick a wholesome cereal that can keep you full and provide the nutrients you need. When you eat cereal in the morning, you’re less likely to experience cravings for unhealthy, high-calorie and high-fat foods later in the day. According to research from the International Journal of Obesity, skipping the morning meal is associated with obesity as well as with decreased vitality and impaired social, emotional and mental health functioning. Thus, it’s better to eat a bowl of any type of cereal in the morning than to skip breakfast – but you can up the benefits by choosing a nutritious variety.
