Breakfast should be healthy, heavy and well-balanced so that your body stays energized throughout the day. But do you know what your body really needs as the first meal of the day? Are you having the right breakfast? Let me help you find out.

Which breakfast cereal do you use?

A breakfast cereal meal is quick, easy and promised to be healthy.

But do you know what goes in making your so-called “healthy” breakfast cereals?

After closely going through their ingredients and nutritional information of all the breakfast cereals available in the market which includes convenient food like instant food packets flavoured cereals, I got to know the reality behind theses breakfast cereals.

These are unhealthiest of all flavour cereals, sweet or salty are generally marketed as healthy breakfast options although the high amount of sugar sodium artificial, flavours, colours and preservatives.

Sugar, Invert sugar syrup, Liquid glucose, Colours, Preservatives, Maida, Malt Extract, etc, are the major macro-nutrients in them.

And unfortunately, these are present in the commonly used breakfast cereals available in the market.

These are artificially processed sugar-candies which are very high in sugar, have preservatives, artificial flavours, synthetic anti-oxidants, etc, and these are extremely unhealthy.

Your body doesn’t really absorb these vitamins and minerals in the same way as from natural or organic options.

These are low in protein and do not qualify as a good breakfast option. Consuming any of these breakfast cereals would just fill your stomach with empty calories and mainly to fat storage and other health problems in the future.

It is not something which your body needs for breakfast.

It’s better to stay away from these so-called “healthy” breakfast cereals.

While buying breakfast cereals you should check its nutritional information and it should be super low in sugar about 2g per 30g of cereal, high in fibre not less than 7g per 100g and protein should not be less than 7g per 100g.

It is more important to check the ingredients thoroughly to know from where these macro-nutrients are coming from.

Then there is paratha, dosa, poha and sandwich which has simple carbs, saturated fat and oil in it which will make you put on extra weight. These are also not a great option for breakfast as it won’t keep you full for a longer period of time. There are just excess carb and low protein which is not something your body screams for the first meal of the day.

Overall if you wish to live a healthy life then all these options should only be consumed occasionally.

A research suggests that consuming “ultra-processed” foods could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.

Two studies, published in the journal the BMJ, highlight the potential link between a high intake of packaged snacks and ready meals, and harm to health.

The first study, carried out by scientists from France and Brazil, included more than 105,000 French adults.

The study found a 10% increase in the proportion of “ultra-processed” food in the diet was linked with a 12% increased risk of cardiovascular disease, 13% increase for coronary heart disease and 11% for cerebrovascular diseases, affecting the blood supply to the heart and brain.

An association was also seen between intake of unprocessed or minimally-processed foods and lower risk of reported diseases.

In a separate study, researchers from the University of Navarra in Spain analysed data from around 20,000 adults over 10 years.

They found that eating more than four servings of “ultra-processed” food per day was linked with a 62% increased risk of death from any cause, compared with those who ate less than two servings.

Each additional serving increased mortality risk by 18%.

The University of Navarra researchers said “Improving diet based on adherence to minimally processed food — a key aspect of the Mediterranean diet — has been shown to protect against chronic disease and all-cause mortality”

But what if you want to take your health to the next level what if you wish to cut the extra fat from your body and build lean muscle mass.

It is difficult to find out the best breakfast cereal which is healthy and convenient to make.

So, which is the best cereal in the market?

What options do we have? Are there any breakfast cereals in the market which can be consumed daily and guilt-free?

Thankfully yes.
