A study in the British Medical Journal confirms that 70% of popular breakfast foods are disrupting gut microbiomes.
Mistake #1: Tropical Fruit Smoothie
Mangoes, pineapples and bananas contain so much sugar that your insulin shoots up like a rocket.
Nutritionist Robert Lustig of UCSF calls these cocktails "liquid diabetes." Replace them with berries: raspberries, currants, blueberries.
Mistake two: store-bought granola
"Healthy" cereals often contain palm oil and glucose syrup. Chef nutritionist Anna Ivashkevich writes in her FoodEx blog: "Homemade granola made from oatmeal and honey reduces the risk of obesity by 40%."
Mistake number three: scrambled eggs with sausage
Nitrites from processed meat cause inflammation. A WHO study has proven that just 50 g of sausage per day increases the risk of cancer by 18%. Use chicken breast or avocado.
Additional research
According to a study in the Journal of Nutrition , high-sugar breakfasts reduce alertness by 30%.
Nutritionist Elena Solomatina explains: "Sugar causes a sharp surge in energy, followed by a decline. It's like a seesaw for your brain."
What to eat
It is recommended to include in your diet buckwheat porridge with pumpkin seeds and flaxseed oil, whole grain toast with avocado and poached egg.
