A Building Block for the rest of the day- Breakfast

What you eat eat or don't eat for breakfast has an affect on your body and your heart. It will influence your body for the rest of the day. It will continue to affect your heart health for a longer time.

Whether you sit down to a breakfast or grab and dash or even totally ignore, thought should be given to this start of the day's events. You have just starved your body during the 6 to 8 hours you have just spent sleeping. Its energy reserves are depleted. You need to put some added supplies into it. Starving your body for another 4 hours is really not a good idea.

If you are taking any Cholesterol drugs do not use any grapefruit.

Breakfast Ideas:

Make a shake! Mix in a blender 125 mL (½ cup) 100% fruit juice, 125 mL (½ cup) fresh or frozen fruit such as berries or a banana, 175 g (¾ cup) plain or fruit flavoured yogurt and 15 mL (1 Tbsp) skim milk powder.
Have it hot! Make oatmeal with quick-cooking oats and a tablespoon each of wheat germ or wheat bran and dried raisins. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve with milk and a small glass of 100% fruit juice.
Have it cold! Have a whole grain, high-fibre cereal served with milk and orange sections or a piece of other fruit.
Spice it up! Scramble some eggs in the microwave and roll them up in a whole wheat tortilla with shredded cheese, green peppers and hot sauce or salsa.
Try something different! Have sardines or baked beans on toast with a glass of tomato juice or fortified soy beverage.
In a hurry? Take a small homemade wheat bran or oatmeal muffin with a container of juice and a piece of cheese. Avoid buying large commercial muffins which can be higher in fat or sugar and calories!
Nice and easy! Mix canned peaches or frozen berries with low fat yogurt. Have with a slice of raisin bread.
Use leftovers! Have some cantaloupe slices with dumplings or wontons with pork and chicken broth with noodles.
Simply made! Have half a whole wheat bagel with a poached egg or 1 Tbsp of peanut butter and some tomato juice. Try a reduced sodium variety of juice.
