The morning is the key to the day, and it has a great impact on one's mental state for the entire day. Breakfast should not only be healthy and scientific but also nutritious. Choosing to eat fruit in the morning is also a very healthy choice. There are many benefits to eating fruit in the morning. Let's take a look.
What is the best for breakfast: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and it should be sufficient in nutrients. Protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins should all be included. For example, a breakfast could be: congee/milk/soy milk + an egg/steamed bun/dumpling + a hot dish (a simple home-cooked dish is fine) (if the home-cooked dish is a meat dish, you can also add a vegetable salad)
Fruits are different from vegetables, and the different ways of eating them are also an important factor. Eating fruit in the morning is the most nutritious. Fruits have great flavor and a good texture, making them suitable for eating raw. Since they can be eaten raw and don't require cooking, the time for eating them is relatively flexible; you can eat them whenever you think of it. However, from a nutritional perspective, there are some considerations about when to eat fruit.
However, eating only fruit for breakfast is not enough. Most fruits are considered "cold-natured" in traditional Chinese medicine, which can lower body temperature and cause muscle stiffness. The sugar in fruit cannot be fully utilized by muscle cells and is instead transferred to fat cells, where it is stored. Therefore, it is best to eat some other hot food before eating fruit in the morning.
Breakfast should supplement vitamins. Experts point out that some people eat breakfast, but it's often a matter of quantity over quality. They feel full, but it's just a physiological illusion; they are actually in a state of nutritional hunger or imbalance. For example, breakfasts high in sugar and grease can actually make people unable to boost their energy, leading to drowsiness. Others just随便应付 (make do with whatever), eating unhygienic or even pathogenic and carcinogenic breakfasts, such as stinky tofu soaked in chemical agents, fried foods, and soy milk sweetened with saccharin.
The breakfast of office workers should meet at least half of their daily vitamin and folate requirements, especially vitamin C and iron. Nowadays, most women do not get enough iron and folate from their food. Meat, liver, kelp, wood ear mushrooms, spinach, and rapeseed can meet the daily requirement of 20 mg of iron for adults under 50. Vitamin B can be obtained from lean meat, fish, liver, whole wheat bread, potatoes, peanuts, and other foods.
