Blog3: Break Your Fast

Good Morning  Readers..!!
Eating a healthy breakfast has numerous benefits. As there is an old saying “Eat Breakfast Like a King, Lunch Like a Prince, and Dinner Like a Pauper.”
Breakfast provides the body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast - that's where its name originates, breaking the fast! Without breakfast, you are effectively running on empty, like trying to start the car with no petrol!
Breakfast should be eaten within two hours of waking up. A healthy breakfast should provide calories in the range of 25-35% of your recommended daily allowance.


Regular breakfast consumption seems to increase satiety, reduce total energy intake, improve overall dietary quality, reduce blood lipid, and improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Many studies have linked eating breakfast to good health, including better memory and concentration, lower levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, and lower chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, and being overweight. Breakfast is the first meal of the day, people who eat breakfast daily have a higher level of metabolism. Breakfast gives your metabolism a jump start.
Skipping breakfast in the morning can throw off your body's rhythm of fasting and eating. Also skipping breakfast peps up the craving for junk foods and you may not able to ignore your hunger, the higher your hunger levels, the more sugary or junk food you'll consume that can lead to weight gain. It also reduces your metabolism and induces may health problems like fatigue, diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases, and other such kind of problems.

  • When choosing what to eat at breakfast, try to eat whole foods that are full of nutrients. A balanced breakfast consists of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Examples include eggs, yogurt, oatmeal, fruits, unprocessed cereals, multigrain bread or toast, sprouts, and nuts (almonds & walnuts, 2-4 a day).  Avoid sugary cereals, white bread, and other highly processed foods. If you are serious about your health, it is important that you make a regular breakfast consumption a regular aspect of your daily routine.
Breakfast is like meditation, if you make time for it in the morning, you'll feel great and energetic throughout the day. So, have your breakfast daily and reduce the chances of developing health complications.

 
Thank You!

Carbohydrates  are important to fuel source for our body. Cells in our body rely on glucose to carry out their tasks. Nearly 45 to 65 % of our calories are made up of carbs. When daily carbohydrate needs are met, our body stores the extra carbs in the form of glycogen. This helps us stay without food for several hours and at the same time maintain the required blood sugar levels. It is very important to choose the right kind of carbs. Carbs from added sugar are harmful, and one should avoid it, on the other hand, carbs from fruits, vegetables, and other high-fiber sources are good for health.

Blog109: Importance of Sleeping in Darkness

Many children and even some adults see the darkness as something to fear. But when it comes to falling asleep, darkness is one of your most reliable allies. Darkness is essential for the body to fall asleep. In absence of light, the brain sends a signal to the body indicating that it is time to rest. When there is a light source present at the wrong time, the body’s circadian rhythm, a biological mechanism that regulates sleep-wake cycles, can be adversely affected, thereby disrupting both the quantity and quality of sleep.   Our brain produces a hormone called melatonin, which basically sends our body a ‘time to sleep’ signal after which the physiological groundwork for the sleep-cycle to take place. This includes feeling lethargic, muscle relaxation, and a drop in body temperature. When darkness starts to fall after sundown, the levels of melatonin automatically increase and continue to do so throughout most part of the night, peaking around 3:00 am. H...
