Take Time to Eat a Healthy Breakfast

Studies show that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eating a healthy and big breakfast in the morning jump starts a person's metabolism, giving them the energy to think and work for the rest of the day. From a dieting standpoint, breakfast is extremely crucial because it gets the body burning calories right away, making it easier for the body to burn calories for the rest of the day.

One of the problems with having a big, healthy breakfast in the morning is that most people don't have the time. Too many people around the country skip breakfast, opting for a to-go cup of coffee instead. People who do eat breakfast in the morning settle for sugary cereals or to-go greasy hash browns from fast-food joints.

The best way to eat a healthy and nourishing Phoenix breakfast is to wake up 10 minutes earlier. There are a lot of healthy breakfast options for people who take just a few minutes in the morning to cook up something fulfilling. Eggs are definitely the healthiest breakfast option out there. Two scrambled eggs take less than 5 minutes to cook, and less than 2 minutes to eat. Add just a scoop of fresh salsa to the cooked eggs, and it's a quick meal with a lot of flavor.

For those who enjoy cereal and milk in the morning, stop buying the sugary cereals that have practically no nutritional value. Find whole grain cereals and sweeten them with fresh bananas, blueberries, or strawberries. Instead of buying 2% milk, buy skim milk or light vanilla soy milk. This will make a cereal based breakfast pack a lot more punch for the day.
