It is widely said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that is why many people start their day with a bowl of cereal . It turns out that this may not be the healthiest start.
Experts warn that despite the descriptions of the box of cereals, according to which its contents are the perfect start to the day, many of these products contain large amounts of sugar and carbohydrates , which are of low nutritional value.
Experts in the field explain that even to seemingly healthy muesli there are many added sugars in the form of honey , malt, molasses, dried fruits and even fruit juice.
While saturated fats have been known to be the enemy of good health for many years, health professionals have relatively recently been trying to raise awareness about the adverse health effects of sugar .
Foods that are high in sugar often have few other nutrients. They also carry the risk of gaining extra pounds . This in turn increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes . Foods high in sugar can damage teeth , especially when consumed between meals.
These warnings are the result of a study that shows that people who keep breakfast cereal in their kitchen are more likely to weigh more than those who keep it elsewhere.
It is also clear from the survey data that breakfast should not be missed, as children who eat breakfast in the morning give better results on tests.
If we do not have breakfast in the morning, it is advisable to start eating at least a piece of fruit or low-fat milk. So after a while the morning appetite naturally returns, writes NHS .
