Food For More Energy In The Morning

In the morning, certain foods are particularly good at providing the body with energy.

If you lack energy in the morning, you feel tired, sleepless and exhausted, it could be because you chose the wrong foods for breakfast. Follow our advice for more energy in the morning !

Breakfast, your energy kick!

Not every breakfast is suitable enough for you and the right energy in the morning to make available so that you start well into the new day and your health and yourself equal to doing something good.

A balanced breakfast is the most important and best way to start every new day. Statistically speaking, people who eat breakfast regularly are leaner than those who skip breakfast.

This is because the body is forced to run in “limp home mode” without breakfast. Not, as is often claimed, to fall back on its fat reserves, but runs on an absolute back burner.

The hunger that has accumulated over the day due to reduced calorie intake is unfortunately far too often “compensated” for by taking small snacks in between meals or a dinner that is too lavish because of hunger.

The daily calorie intake is therefore higher, despite a skipped breakfast!

It therefore makes sense to take a closer look at the most important meal of the day. One should limit oneself to just five simple and important foods :

Cereal products

The most important source of energy in our body is and will remain the complex carbohydrates.

In the morning “the tank is empty” and it is important to refill it. And that before the muscle motor takes you on the “Autobahn” of everyday life.

Our muscle motor can do something with carbohydrates for the long term. Grain products are therefore best.  Bread, muesli, breakfast cereals, cereal porridges and pastries.

Fiber

In order for us to stay full and full of positive energy for a long time after a balanced breakfast, the fiber content of the meal must be high.

So the blood sugar level rises only slowly. Little insulin is released and the drop in blood sugar level after digestion is flat. Thus the process is gentle and gentle on the organism.

You won’t feel “stuffed” or “stuffed”, as is common after high-fat meals, for example, but simply full of energy!

Fiber is the indigestible part of our food. They not only ensure a favorable course in blood sugar levels, but also ensure healthy digestion. The result is a good stool volume and they are said to be helpful in preventing colon cancer.

Studies also suggest that a high-fiber breakfast can even lower cholesterol.

Fiber is found in all whole grain products and fruits and vegetables. So a good idea for breakfast would be whole grain rolls or whole grain bread, muesli. With fresh fruit, preferably as natural as possible, i.e. with the skin on.

protein

The body needs carbohydrates, protein and fat in order to be optimally supplied with everything it needs to generate energy.

We don’t have to worry about the fat in our food, the average German citizen ingests too much of it with their food.

However, protein is important and should “not be forgotten” at breakfast. Milk or soy products are ideal here, for example milk or yoghurt with muesli, a low-fat herbal quark on bread or lean cheese or sausage and ham.

If you don’t want any animal protein sources, you should use plant-based alternatives, but you should pay attention to their protein content, because not all plant-based “milk products” are as rich in protein as animal ones!

Fruit Vegetable

It would of course be easy to get the breakfast portion of fruit and vegetables in the form of industrially produced juices. But it is always better to eat fruits and vegetables in their most natural form.

This ensures that the vitamins and minerals it contains can be optimally absorbed by the body.

If you don’t have time for freshly squeezed juices, you can quickly cut an apple into muesli, a tomato, cucumber slices or radish onto cheese or quark bread, or use a hand blender to quickly puree a banana or soft fruit into a smoothie or milk mix.

liquid

A “symbolic” cup of coffee in the morning is not enough to satisfy the need for fluids, it should be more!

It is advisable to consume at least half a liter of additional liquid for breakfast. If your body has enough fluids, it can also supply all areas of the body with oxygen for fresh energy through the bloodstream.

It is ideal to use it to integrate other of the five important breakfast ingredients: a smoothie, for example, has three ingredients: fruit, liquid and fiber.

If the smoothie with milk or yoghurt becomes a mixed milk drink, the fourth ingredient, protein, is already in the stomach. All that’s missing is some toast or a wholemeal bread roll and breakfast full of healthy energy is perfect in no time!
