Never Eat These For Breakfast
By Harshita Sehgal - 24 September 2020
It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, you need to make the right choice for breakfast as an unhealthy one can be really bad for your health. An ideal breakfast should be full of fiber, protein, and healthy fat that gives you energy and makes you full. Whereas an unhealthy breakfast can make you feel lazy and increase your risk of chronic disease. Check out the list of the worst foods to eat at breakfast:
-
Pancakes and waffles
Pancakes and waffles are a popular weekend breakfast for many people. Both pancakes and waffles contain flour, eggs, sugar, and milk and are very high in refined flour and syrup used over it is high in sugar. The high content of sugar and refined flour can result in obesity, hence you must avoid having these items in breakfast.
-
Fruit juice
A lot of people like to have their breakfast with a glass of juice, but they are probably the worst choice for breakfast. They are high in sugar and can have a negative effect on your insulin levels.
-
Granola bars
They seem like a great breakfast option but they are not. They are high in fiber but contain a lot of added sugar and sugar is always bad for your health.
-
Bacon and sausage
The processed meat can contain harmful chemicals which are linked to high blood pressure. So avoid having meat for breakfast.
-
Flavored Yogurt
Yogurt is loaded with protein but the artificial flavors give it too much sugar. Instead of flavored one go for a healthy and plain variety with probiotics.
-
Toast with buttery spread
A toast topped with some butter is an ideal breakfast for many people but it is not healthy. The buttery spreads contain trans fats, which can raise bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. Also, they don’t contain any protein or fiber.
-
Fried food
Love English breakfast, fried eggs, bacon, and hash browns? Or desi one like chole bhautre, puri, paratha, and samosas? Instead of making you feel fresh, they will make you drowsy for the whole day. They are high in calories and trans fat.
