The perfect keep in shape breakfast exists & it is a mix of healthy nutrients ideal to help us kick off in an excellent way!
Too many people under estimate the importance of breakfast which is actually the most important meal of the day. Breakfast must provide us with sufficient energy to start the day in a good way, without too many sugars or than making us feel even more tired. It is therefore important having a rich but healthy breakfast, rich in nutrients that also give us vitamins & minerals, it must also be satisfying from a psychological point of view because in the morning our organism requires an extra effort even from our mind. And if you think that the best choice is a coffee & croissant at the cafetteria, well im sorry to contraddict you but I have to give you this bad news: the famous and often also delicious croissant (italian cornetti) are a mix of harmful hydrogenated oils & also a large calorie content according to the filling contained but we are more or less around 450 calories going up, and also the more sophisticated fillings like for example chocolate cream mix the higher the amount of fats that could also take days to be digested & disposed of by our organism, some hydrogenated fats remain in our organism for up to 15 days. Therefore except for the rare times when you cannot really do without, daily breakfast must be something completely different.
The ideal breakfast should contain a bit of all the macro nutrients & as explained before also rich in vitamins & minerals, must also contain fruit & also be very filling, here is an example of an excellent breakfast, our recipe of a mixed breakfast accompanied by freshly pressed citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, lemon) or a cup of green tea & a glass of water.
