There is no substitute for the right eating habits to stay healthy and active. According to experts, the habit of eating nutritious food at the start of the day gives the body the energy it needs, boosts productivity and reduces various health risks. Yet many people skip breakfast or prioritise taste over nutrition, which can be harmful for the body in the long run.
Nutritionists say what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat are all important for good health. Skipping breakfast in particular deprives the body of needed energy and nutrition, which can lead to weakness, lack of concentration and various nutrition-related problems.
Beneficial foods on an empty stomach in the morning:
Lemon and honey water: Drinking water mixed with lemon and honey on an empty stomach after waking up keeps the body fresh. Those who get acidity from lemon can drink water mixed with just honey. The various vitamins, minerals and enzymes in honey help cleanse the body from within and activate metabolism.
Soaked almonds: Eating a few almonds soaked overnight on an empty stomach in the morning provides ample energy. The magnesium, vitamin E, protein, fibre and healthy fatty acids they contain help meet the body’s nutritional needs, and regular consumption may also aid weight control.
Eggs: A boiled egg or omelette is good for breakfast. Because eggs contain high-quality protein, they keep the stomach full for a long time, reduce excess hunger and give the body the energy it needs.
Oats and ripe banana porridge: Porridge made with oats and ripe banana is known as a healthy breakfast. The fibre it contains aids digestion and helps control cholesterol. A little milk, honey or molasses and nuts can be added if desired.
Fresh fruit: Nutritionists advise keeping seasonal fruit in the breakfast. Eating fruit after a long period without food gives the body quick vitamins, fibre and natural energy, making it easier to stay fresh all day.
