I'm not a doctor or teacher, let's make that clear. I am a
mother, who loves her kids and wants only the best for them. So yeah,
I'm a little strict with my kids' health and nutrition... so what? I do,
however condone the occasional slip here and there; like holiday
cookies, birthday cake, homemade goodies, etc. Pancakes, waffles and
cereal are also a rare find in our home; not saying NEVER, just rare.
Sure cereal is fast and convenient; waffles and pancakes can be found
frozen, and pop tarts take a couple minutes. But if we took 10 minutes
to make a better breakfast, we wouldn't have to leave for work 10
minutes early, to pick up that $5 Coffee, because your food can be your
energy source.
I'm sure you've heard the phrase "you are what you eat." Think about it, let it sink in, it makes sense! Those who wake up, eat a sugary starchy breakfast, your body is running off of sugar and will eventually crash, or beg for more. Sugar isn't a requirement for our bodies to function, ESPECIALLY High Fructose Corn Syrup, or the worst imitation, ASPARTAME! YUCK! Look for better alternatives like yogurt, which is packed with protein and probiotics (good bacteria that your gut desperately needs to function well). Eggs are another good choice, but not overcooked, stick to over-easy or soft-boiled. When you overcook the eggs that's when they become less nutritious, like most foods. (that's why people steam vegetables, to keep the nutritious value). If you need a quick breakfast, opt for a non sugary oatmeal, skip the artificial sugary alternatives like cereal and pop tarts.
Get those brain fats in your diet too! Our brain is made up of about 60% fat, YES I said it! FAT! I mean good fat! Not the fake fat, like HYDROGENATED OIL (BEWARE) that make up the big tubs of FAKE butter. I mean fat from REAL, 100% butter (where the ingredients say: Milk, nothing else), fat from avocados or nuts! Our bodies are made of mostly water, right? That's why we're told to drink water. SO, if our brains are made of mostly fat, like omega 3's, wouldn't we want to feed our brain fat??? Fat for our brains is like water and sunshine to plants. We need it to function, to feel good, happy, have good memory and so much more.
