Breakfast is essential, don't skip it!

A healthy breakfast is essential for our body to function well. According to the behavior of our biological clock, we must feed ourselves at the latest one hour after waking up, since each organ our body needs nutrients to start functioning again and we also need energy to carry out our activities.

If someone ever told you that if you skip breakfast, your body takes energy from excess fat, this is totally untrue. Our body does take nutrients and energy from other parts of our body, but not from adipose tissue, but from tissues, muscles and other parts that end up deteriorating over time. That is why it is very important that you have a healthy breakfast every morning without fail.

There is a popular saying that we should "have breakfast like kings and dinner like beggars." That is precisely what we should do with healthy breakfasts, since it is the time of day when the body needs many more nutrients and energy that we burn during the day.

Now, that we eat more during breakfast also implies that we eat well and choose nutritious foods, so that it is truly a healthy breakfast. Here we give you 8 ideas of healthy, complete and quick breakfasts to prepare.

8 healthy and easy-to-make breakfast ideas

What you should remember when deciding on your healthy breakfast foods is that they include protein, fruits and / or vegetables and complex carbohydrates, that is, those that have fiber and provide nutrients.

In this sense, croissants, donuts, cakes and some cookies are far from being a healthy breakfast, since they only provide energy in the form of sugar but without nutrients. You can substitute them for this list of healthy breakfasts that we recommend below.

1. Avocado toast

If you're a fan of avocado toast, this is a great option to make a healthy breakfast. All you need is a slice of whole wheat bread, avocado and boiled eggs or feta cheese, whichever option you prefer. This way you will get nutrients from all the food groups you need.
