Blog31: No Time For Breakfast? Easy Tips For Not Skipping Breakfast

While most of us have busy mornings with little spare time, it is important to prioritize and make time for breakfast..even if it is something simple, or something prepared in advance the night before. Here are some ideas for quick and easy breakfast options:
1. Short on time? Grab a fruit (apples, bananas, pears, etc.)

2. A glass of milk is easy to pour in even if you are running late.                                               

3. Grab a whole-wheat toast and smear with a light layer of butter. Yes, a little fat is good for you (if it’s the right kind of fat).


4. Plan ahead - before going for a shower, keep an egg on boil. By the time you return, your healthy dose of boiled egg would be ready.

5. Eggs are a healthy treat in any form. They don’t take much time to cook, so make scrambled eggs quickly to go with your healthy whole-wheat toast.

6. Don’t go for packaged juices, regardless of the advertisements about vitamins and nutrition. Squeeze a glass of fresh orange juice in your kitchen.


7. Quick cooking oats are very nutritious and filling too. Their energy will make you run efficiently till lunchtime.

8. Yogurt smoothies are a good option too for a quick take on breakfast. Just pop in some berries or mango or banana in the blender along with some low fat yogurt and your healthy drink is ready in two minutes.

9. If you have time at hand, making a bowl of Poha or Upma or a couple of steamed Idlis, which will delight your taste buds and suffice your fiber needs too.

Now stop making excuses for shortage of time, kick start your day with a healthy breakfast. Remember there’s absolutely nothing you can do to make up for the mistake of not eating breakfast in the morning. Rise, Eat and then Shine. Thank You.!!

Blog67: Good Carbohydrates vs. Bad Carbohydrates

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.
