I know you have heard this a million times but I need to say it again, you need to eat a GOOD BREAKFAST. Going to Dunkin Donuts for a coffee and a muffin does not qualify as healthy. A muffin is just a round piece of cake filled with fats and sugar and loaded with calories. For someone who wants to get healthy and change their eating habits, that is not how to start that process. BREAKFAST or the first meal of the day is important, as it begins to give the brain and the body fuel to get the day started. You will also be supplying the body with vitamins and nutrients to energy, So what should you eat to get your day up and running? Here are some of my favorite ways to start the day: 1. Fruit salad is a sure winner, it is easily digested and will give you energy and packed with great things for the body. 2. Egg whites with some veggies is a power breakfast filled with protein. Some research tells us that egg whites are one of the more perfect foods to eat. 3. Oatmeal is great especially in the winter. It is filled with fiber and so good for the body. Add apples, raisins and cinnamon to flavor it up. 4. Low sugar cereal such as SPECIAL K, CHEERIOS, BRAN FLAKES OR SHREDDED WHEAT are great to get the day started. Add some berries or bananas and you are good to go. 5. How about a wrap with a 2 egg omelette and 2 slices of turkey bacon? 6. Make a shake with fresh fruit, yogurt, honey, soy milk. That is a delicious way to start the day. Remember, the first meal of the day sets the tone for the rest of the day. Debra
