3 HEALTHY BREAKFAST TIPS
1. Read the nutritional label to choose a healthy breakfast cereal
How much sugar does it have? How many calories does it contain? How much of it is carbohydrates, proteins, fibres and fats? Make a purchase only when you get satisfactory answers for these questions.
2. The first three ingredients are the most important
Make sure you read the top three ingredients on the cereal box. It must have natural unprocessed grains that offer fibre as compared to quick oats or just plain flour cereal.
3. The lesser the ingredients, the more natural your cereal
Choose a cereal which has less than five ingredients–all of which are completely natural. Big numbers and alien-sounding words are mostly artificial colours, sweeteners, preservatives, and stabilizers. Get the most natural cereal possible.
