Dear readers of Fairness Magazine, you all know by now how much we care about a healthy life in a healthy body and mind (we’ll never stop repeating it). So today we’ll talk about the most important meal of the day, often underestimated, forgotten, and sometimes mistreated (depending on nationality, to be honest): Breakfast. Breakfast, as you know, is the most important meal of the day, even though for many, it’s a fleeting meal, made only of coffee and at most two biscuits, while for others, it’s a moment of healthy eating habits. It’s the moment when the body wakes up and needs energy to start the day, and a good and healthy breakfast should provide the body with carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
But how to choose a healthy and balanced breakfast? You might be wondering. And above all, what makes a food more suitable in the morning than in the afternoon? Nothing, simply the energy it provides to our body. And yes, friends, the morning should be the best time to fill up with energy, and to face the whole day at our best physical and mental strength.
Small tips for choosing a healthy breakfast ⬇️
Choose whole foods – whole grains, wholemeal bread, brown rice, and wholemeal pasta. Whole foods are a good source of fiber, which helps maintain bowel regularity and feel full longer.
Include protein in your breakfast – Proteins help build and repair muscles and keep metabolism active. Choose lean proteins, such as eggs, yogurt, nuts, or seeds.
Add fruits and vegetables to your breakfast – Fruits and vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are also low in calories and fat.
Avoid refined sugars – sugary drinks – packaged cereals – sweets. Refined sugars can cause weight gain, health problems, and headaches.

Breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated, just choose healthy and nutritious foods and combine them in ways you like. With a little planning, you can easily prepare a healthy and tasty breakfast that will give you the energy boost you need for the whole day.

We realize that it’s not always possible to have breakfast at home. In these cases, it’s important to make conscious choices even when we’re away from home.

It’s better to opt for healthier alternatives such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or muesli.

Homemade muesli with whole grains and dried fruit

Instant porridge to be prepared with hot water or plant-based milk
Bowls of fresh fruit with yogurt and granola
