BREAKFAST: USING THE G.I. FACTOR TO SUSTAIN YOU THROUGH THE DAY
More and more people these days realise the benefits of having breakfast. Scientifically, having breakfast has been proven to help you lose weight and to lower your cholesterol levels. We also know that eating breakfast can help to stabilise your blood sugar levels. It kick starts your metabolism and gives your body food when it really needs it. Missing breakfast can cause symptoms of fatigue, dehydration and loss of energy.
One of the things we notice when non-breakfast eaters start having breakfast is that all of a sudden they develop a morning appetite that they haven’t had since childhood. Eating breakfast becomes easier. In fact it becomes a necessity (which is what it should be). Our bodies require fuel to run on and yet too many of us expect to go about our work without topping up our fuel tank first.
If your breakfast leaves you starving by mid morning, have a closer look at what you ate for breakfast. Many breakfast cereals and breads have a high G.I. factor which means while they pick you up initially, they won’t last long. When the energy runs out and your blood sugar starts to drop, you feel hungry again. Eating a low G.I. breakfast ensures your breakfast is going to take you through to lunch time.
In the breakfast section you’ll find simple recipes from a quick milkshake to delicious mueslis and more adventurous dishes for a weekend breakfast—all guaranteed to sustain you through the day.
