BREAKFAST CEREALS: BETTER TO AVOID THEM, SAYS NUTRITIONIST
Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, providing fuel and energy for the tasks ahead. However, a well-known nutritionist has sounded the alarm on a common breakfast food that could be harmful to our health.
Pablo Ojeda, a Spanish nutritionist, has advised against consuming cereals in the morning. He argues that the high sugar content in many breakfast cereals, combined with the large serving size (often around 100g), can have negative effects on the body.
“Taking 100g of cereals alongside 60g of sugar cannot be done in any way. It would be better to revolutionize your breakfast and move from a sweet to a savory one, which would be the most suitable and healthy for our body,” Ojeda explained.
Instead of traditional cereal and milk, Ojeda suggests opting for a savory breakfast, such as toast with butter or ham. For those who struggle to make the switch, he recommends plain Greek yogurt with a minimal amount of whole grains to reduce sugar intake.
While Ojeda’s advice may come as a shock to those accustomed to a sweet breakfast, his recommendations are in line with a growing trend towards healthier eating habits. As more people become conscious of the impact of their food choices on their overall well-being, the traditional breakfast of sugary cereals may soon become a thing of the past.
It is important to note that Ojeda’s advice is based on his professional opinion and individual dietary needs may vary. However, his warning serves as a reminder to carefully consider the nutritional value of our breakfast choices in order to support a healthy lifestyle.
