Healthy Breakfast Tips
π₯¦ 1. Donβt Skip It
Skipping breakfast can lead to low energy, poor concentration, and overeating later.
Aim to eat within 1β2 hours of waking up.
2. Include Protein
Protein keeps you full longer and helps build/repair muscles.
Good options: Boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, paneer, peanut butter, protein shake, sprouts.
3. Go for Whole Grains
They give you long-lasting energy and fiber.
Choose: Oats, whole wheat bread, poha with veggies, or multigrain paratha.
4. Add Fruits or Vegetables
Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Banana, apple, papaya, or a fruit smoothie β easy & quick!
Try veggie-filled upma or moong chilla.
5. Hydrate First
Start with 1β2 glasses of warm water or lemon water to kickstart digestion.
Then have your breakfast.
6. Avoid Sugary Cereals or Junk
Skip processed, high-sugar items like sweet cereals, pastries, or fried snacks.
They spike blood sugar and leave you tired later.
7. Mind the Caffeine
If you're a tea/coffee drinker, avoid drinking it on an empty stomach. It can cause acidity.
Pair it with food or have after breakfast.
8. Add Healthy Fats (in moderation)
Small amounts of ghee, nuts, chia seeds, or avocado can improve brain function and digestion.
Bonus Tip: Chew Slowly & Be Present
Try not to eat while scrolling or rushing.
A calm breakfast helps digestion and mental clarity.
