The name ‘breakfast’ itself expresses that we need to break approximately 7-8 hours long fast while we’re asleep and it has to be done between 2 hours as you first wake up in the morning. An empty stomach in the morning leads to a reduction in your brain cells and makes you acidic. Many food items can be consumed for breakfast. The most common ones include eggs, toasted bread, bread with jam or butter, oats, waffles, dry fruits, and milkshakes. But there is another type of food that we can eat to improve our health in the morning, which are fruits. Not any particular one but any fruit can be a breakfast food. Here are the reasons why fruits can make good breakfast options: –
- Fruits are full of vitamins. Different fruits carry different kinds of vitamins in rich quantities. Vitamin C is highly found in all citrus foods.
- They improve digestion and metabolism. Eating something that is a difficulty for the digestive system to churn makes the system weaker. Fruits are juicy and soft which makes it easy for your stomach to churn and digest it.
- Fruits like apples and pears are rich in good fibre. Fiber is another supplement that improves the nutrition absorption in your body and makes your stools dense.
- Juicy fruits like watermelons or musk melons are very watery and they give a decent amount of water when you consume them. Our body uses a lot of water throughout the night for the digestion process and hence it is necessary to rehydrate yourself with water and juicy fruits.
- Compared to other food items, fruits are very much low in calories. If you are looking forward to losing your weight, starting feeding on fruits which will reduce your calorie intake.
- They are also a good source of potassium, a mineral that refines our fluid balance and controls muscle contractions and nerve signals.
- Apples are also a good source of iron, which is highly essential for blood production. The maximum amount of iron in our body is found in our blood in the red blood cells which are also referred to as haemoglobin.
There is no doubt that fruits are very much healthy and essential for our healthy self. Eating them to satisfy the most important meal of your day is just taking fruit consumption to the next level.
