You might not even realize it, but popular breakfasts often turn out to be harmful to our health.
The first meal of the day should include proteins, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats, nutritionist and endocrinologist Oksana Mikhaleva told Gazeta.ru .
However, a breakfast consisting of sandwiches made from white bread with butter, cheese and sausage certainly does not fit this description.
Refined foods are high in calories but lack nutritional value.
This means that a breakfast of ultra-processed foods will fill your body with calories and increase your blood glucose, insulin, and fat levels.
However, it will not give you satiety or provide you with fiber, vitamins, minerals, or other elements we need.
To make a familiar dish healthier, replace a slice of white bread with a whole grain bun, and sausage with turkey meat, and don't forget to add vegetables to your snack.
In addition, the specialist included instant porridge, flakes, pillows, granola and muesli, which consist of refined grains with vegetable oil and sugar, in the category of unhealthy breakfasts.
