High fiber cereal, non-fat milk and fruit make an ideal breakfast that cuts down the risk of many health problems.
Doctors at Harvard University present a round-up of recent research on the advantages of eating breakfast. Did you know that men who miss breakfast are four times more likely to be obese, for example? A healthy breakfast will have high fiber cereal - look for one with six grams of fiber per serving - non-fat milk or yoghurt and some fruit. This makes meal packed with great nutrients.
If you want toast, make it wholemeal and don't use a spread with trans-fats. Eggs are fine once in a while, but one study showed that men with diabetics eating more than one egg a day had double the risk of heart disease. And there is no evidence that eggs high in omega-3 fats or organic eggs offer any real health benefit. Many typical breakfast foods like croissants and bacon are too high in fat or salt - and the same goes for fast food breakfasts. Choose your breakfast wisely and eat it regularly and you'll reap many benefits.
