There are so many options when choosing a breakfast cereal.
One tasty option is muesli. Is it healthy?
We’ve all known for some time that breakfast is an integral part of the day. Now research
has shown that, regardless of physical activity, eating high fibre cereal in the
morning at least three times a week leads to having a lower body mass index.
One reason people skip breakfast is because they are trying to reduce their overall
calorie intake. Whilst its important not to eat too many excess calories, having
breakfast, even if its a simple smoothie, or a couple of pieces of fruit, will reduce the
urge to snack on chocolate or other unhealthy options, as well as improving your
performance at work and reducing fatigue.
All in all a bowl of muesli is a healthy way to start the day – if you buy a low sugar
version. If you can’t find one, it’s not hard to make your own by combining rolled
oats with the dried fruits and nuts of your choice. A great way to add natural sweetness
to muesli is to add a little fruit juice to the milk when you eat it. It can also be
mixed with yogurt for a quick breakfast or dessert treat. Enjoy eating muesli!
