The importance of breakfast for human health can be seen in the familiar saying that "a year's plan is in the spring and a day's plan is in the morning". However, according to the nutritionist's survey found that there are still many people do not have the habit of eating breakfast or eat breakfast too casual. Nutritionists pointed out that how to eat a good breakfast in fact, there is a lot to learn, the following health experts put forward a new concept of healthy breakfast, a good comparison against it, see if your breakfast is up to standard.
7 to 8 o'clock, the best time for breakfast
Some people get up early in the morning, breakfast will also eat early, in fact, this is not good. Breakfast is best eaten after 7 am. Medical experts pointed out that people in the sleep, the vast majority of organs are fully rested, while the digestive organs are still in the digestion and absorption of the dinner stored in the gastrointestinal tract of the food, to the morning to gradually enter the rest state. Once you eat breakfast too early, is bound to interfere with the rest of the stomach and intestines, so that the digestive system is in a state of long-term fatigue, disturbing the rhythm of peristalsis. So can get up at about 7:00 after 20 to 30 minutes to eat breakfast is most appropriate, because this time the human appetite is the most vigorous. In addition, breakfast and Chinese food to the interval of about 4 to 5 hours is good, that is, breakfast between 7 and 8 o'clock is good, if the breakfast is too early, then the number should be increased accordingly or will be lunch in advance accordingly.
Drinking water before breakfast is good for health
Morning, people after a night's sleep, from urine, skin, respiration consumes a lot of water and nutrition, the morning after getting up in a physiological state of dehydration. Therefore, do not get up in the morning in a hurry to eat breakfast, get up immediately after drinking 1-2 cups of warm water, it has a washing effect on the organs in the body, but also to improve the function of the organs, to prevent the occurrence of a number of diseases are of great benefit.
Eating cold food early in the morning to the detriment of health
Many people drink fruit and vegetable juice early in the morning, although it can provide fruits and vegetables in the direct nutrients and clean up the body's wastes, but we have overlooked one of the most important key, that is, the human body will always like the warmth of the environment, the body is warm, the microcirculation will be normal, the delivery of oxygen, nutrients and wastes and so on will be smooth. So when you eat breakfast, do not drink fruit and vegetable juice, iced coffee, iced juice, iced tea, green smoothie, iced milk, etc., a short time maybe you do not feel any discomfort, in fact, will make your body weakened day by day, this is why?
Eating breakfast should eat hot food in order to protect the stomach qi. What Chinese medicine says about stomach qi is actually broad, and does not simply refer to the stomach as an organ, but includes the digestive and absorptive abilities of the spleen and stomach, acquired immunity, and muscle function. Because in the morning, the yin energy of the night is not yet removed, and the temperature of the earth has not yet risen. The muscles, nerves and blood vessels in the body are still in a contracted state, if you eat and drink cold food at this time, it will definitely make the body's various systems more contracted, and the blood flow is not smooth. Perhaps the beginning of eating and drinking cold food, you do not feel the stomach and intestines have any discomfort, but a long time or age, you will find how to absorb the essence of the food, as if the old food is not solid, or stool is always thin, or the skin is getting worse and worse, or the throat is always a hidden phlegm is not refreshing, and colds from time to time, ailments, this is the long term cold food to hurt the stomach gas, hurt the body's resistance.
So the first food in the morning should be to enjoy hot rice, hot oatmeal, hot goat's milk, hot soya bean flower, hot soya bean milk, sesame seed paste, yam congee and other hot food, and then with vegetables, bread, sandwiches, fruits, snacks and so on. Because milk is prone to phlegm and allergies, drinking milk is less suitable for people with poor trachea, intestines and stomach, poor skin and those in humid climates.

Many office workers get up in the morning, drink a big glass of milk, fry an egg, eat some meat, take a fruit will rush out of the door, feel up such a breakfast nutrients are not bad.

And grain and cereal food is the main source of carbohydrates. Chinese people have always taken cereal food as the main source of nutrition. However, with the changes in people's tastes and the need to cope with fast-paced life, cereals have been neglected. In fact, cereal breakfast is the ideal nutritious breakfast that is most suitable for people of all ages in modern families. Cereals are rich in carbohydrates, proteins and B vitamins, and also provide a certain amount of inorganic salts. The fat content of cereals is low, about 2%. Different grains have different nutritional characteristics. Compared to other carbohydrates, grains contain low fat, low cholesterol, and long-lasting energy release.
Common cereals include barley, corn, oats, rice, wheat, etc. When people choose breakfast, with these foods or foods containing these food components as the main content of breakfast, the nutrition obtained will be more adequate, the structure will be more reasonable.
Breakfast acid-base balance is important
Many people are accustomed to eating steamed buns, fried food, soy milk for breakfast. Some people also eat some eggs, meat, dairy. Although the above food is rich in carbohydrates and protein, fat, but are acidic food, acidic food in the diet in excess, easy to lead to blood acidic, causing physiological disorders in the body of the acid-base balance, there will be calcium deficiency.

A high-quality breakfast is concerned about the rationality of the combination of food nutrients, and recently nutritional experts on the basis of the types of breakfast food to develop a method of evaluating the nutritional quality of breakfast.

A lean meat fried rice noodles need to add a cup of milk and a banana, this recipe has the advantage of a comprehensive supply of nutrients. Spring rolls, soymilk and watermelon can also meet the energy and nutritional requirements. If the doughnut, soy sauce tofu, egg porridge, this breakfast is less vitamin calcium iron and other nutrients and salt content is too high, you should add a class of vegetables such as cucumber.
Nutrition experts specifically recommended that breakfast has two types of food should not be eaten: one type of carbohydrate-based food, the other is egg yolk, fried high-fat food, due to excessive intake of starch, sugar, fat and cholesterol, digestive time is long, easy to make the blood over a long period of time in the digestive system, resulting in a reduction in blood flow to the brain, the brain cells are lacking in oxygen, and so the whole morning dizziness, slow thinking.
