A nutritional expert has revealed why the go-to breakfast meal for many Irish people - a bowl of cereal with milk - is one of the worst things we can eat in the morning
Cereal, a staple breakfast for Irish people up and down the country, has been dubbed 'one of the worst things you can start your morning with' by a nutritional expert. The quick and tasty meal, available in a plethora of varieties, is a favourite among children and parents needing a swift start to their day.
According to her science-backed theory, the key to better health lies in controlling glucose spikes rather than dieting. Despite glucose, found in starches and sugars, being our body's primary energy source, consuming too much during a meal can cause our bodies to release insulin to eliminate it.
The glucose spikes it triggers "impairs our body's ability to efficiently produce energy, induces fatigue, and initiates various side effects". One such effect is that we feel hungry again sooner, and the larger the spike, the greater the subsequent drop, leading to cravings throughout the day, reports the Mirror.
So, ditch the sweet pastries, cereal, or fruit juices and smoothies, which cause a significant spike in most people, and opt for something egg-based like an omelette with avocado or cheese and mozzarella. Don't forget to include a vegetable like tomato, spinach or mushrooms for their fibre content.
