4 Easy Ways to Increase the Nutrition of Your Breakfast
Saturday, December 20th, 2008Do you eat cereal for breakfast? Many people find that eating cereal for breakfast is a quick and easy way to start the day. Just pour your favourite cereal in a bowl followed by your favourite milk and you’re off. But what if it were possible to make your cereal just that little bit more nutritious without adding any extra time? What if you could enhance the flavour of your breakfast food while at the same time preventing disease and boosting your energy levels? This can be achieved simply by adding super foods to your cereal.
Super foods are outrageously high in nutrients so they protect you from premature aging and disease. Many cereals offer nothing of value to the body. This is part of the reason why the standard Western diet is leading to skyrocketing rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses. By adding a few super foods to your breakfast, you are transforming your breakfast into a nutritious power house that will give you more energy and greater mental clarity for your day while protecting you from future disease.
Here are 5 Super Foods for Transforming your Breakfast
1. Add some pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are especially high in zinc, which is a common deficiency that causes a whole variety of health complaints including acne, lowered immune system, and thinning hair. Pumpkin seeds are also a rich source of vitamins B, E C, D, and K, all of which are needed for optimum health. One way to know if you are zinc deficient is if you have white spots on your nails.
2. Goji Berries have recently hit the super food scene after research confirmed that they are one of the most nutritionally dense foods on earth. They also contain an amazing array of vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential fats, and antioxidants that protect the eyes and prevent aging. Goji berries are considered an amazing aphrodisiac, hence the ancient Chinese proverb that states “He who travels one thousand kilometres from home should not eat Goji!”
3. Bee pollen has been shown to be the reason that so many people in the Caucasus Mountains in the former Soviet Union are some of the longest living people in the world. It is perfectly common there to live healthily and productively until 125. These people are bee keepers and eat the bee pollen at the bottom of their hives. Bee pollen is actually considered a complete food, meaning that it provides all of the nutrients needed to live with vibrant health.
4. Wheatgrass is the young grass of the common wheat plant. It is packed with chlorophyll which increases the blood’s ability to carry oxygen, offering a number of health benefits including more stable blood sugar levels and detoxification of traffic pollutants, cigarette smoke and heavy metals. The brain is able to function more efficiently in a highly oxygenated environment. Wheatgrass improves digestion and inhibits the growth of harmful invaders such as bacteria and fungi in the body.
Create a mixture of all of these super foods in a separate container and add a spoonful of it to your breakfast every morning. This will give your breakfast a massive kick of vital nutrients and ensure that you start the day on the right foot without any added hassle.
And if you really want to creat a super food power breakfast, you could add some nutrient rich raw sheep’s milk.
And imagine the Christmas cheer with red gojis, green chlorella and gold bee pollen!
