As grown adults with great ambitions and career plans somewhere, we ignore our health in between. While working late hours we tend to hog on greasy foods and take-outs to sustain our busy schedule. What we forget is that health is an asset that no career or money can buy. It is only attained by oneself keeping a strict mindset and discipline. But that does not mean taking care of ourselves should be boring. Breakfast can be that one meal where we can implement changes and see results, as it is known as the most important meal of the day.
The science behind a good Breakfast.
Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, allowing you to burn calories throughout the day. It also gives you the energy you need to finish tasks and improves your concentration at work or school. That is just a partial list of the reasons why it is the most important meal of the day.
Many studies have linked eating breakfast to better health, including improved memory and focus, lower cholesterol levels, and a lower risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
Here are some quick-to-make and extremely nutritious breakfast ideas that you can eat in the morning and get enough energy throughout the day.
- Poha
You can start by soaking ¼ cup of moong dal overnight. Take a pressure cooker and add one tsp of ghee to it. Now add washed moong dal and fry it for a few minutes. You can add some basil leaves to enhance the flavors. Cook it for 2-3 whistles on medium flame.
Take another pan and add some ghee to it. Add cumin seeds, ginger, peanuts, and cashews. Sauté them and add the soaked poha and dal. Mix everything well and garnish it with some fresh coriander and some lime.
