Some believe that breakfast is the main meal of the day. Some, on the contrary, prefer to skip it. However, representatives of both camps often make mistakes that can harm health.
Water before meals
The day can really not start in the best way if you don't drink a glass of plain water before breakfast, experts are sure. One study found that over 12 weeks, participants who drank water before meals ended up losing weight. In addition, they felt more "full" and ate less. Water also helps speed up metabolism.
Lots of fruit juices
Many people prefer fruit juices for breakfast. However, fruits are sweet on their own, and even more sugar is added to drinks made from them. This can have a negative impact on health.
The wrong yogurt
Yogurt is a seemingly healthy food. And so long as a person buys the right kind of product, experts say. Yogurts with fruit on the bottom or other additives are nothing but a disaster. They are literally full of sugar, and starting your day with so much sweet is not recommended. Experts recommend choosing plain Greek yogurt or a low-sugar, high-protein version.
Chicken eggs without yolks
Egg yolks are rich in vitamin D, and one study found a link between vitamin D deficiency and excess belly fat in overweight people. In addition, egg yolks contain choline, a nutrient that helps regulate metabolism, nerve function, and affects brain function.
