Best Meal of the Day

We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But why? It may be because the food we eat first thing in the morning affects our bodies all day long. Research suggests when you eat a low-glycemic breakfast, you can actually stabilize blood sugars throughout the day, thereby making you less likely to overeat throughout the day.

The glycemic index ranks foods according to how much they raise blood sugar levels when eaten. Foods with a high index — such as white breads, other refined grains and treats— are quickly digested and result in high fluctuations in blood sugar levels. However, foods with a low glycemic index produce gradual rises in blood sugar and insulin levels and are considered healthier. Since low-glycemic foods eaten at breakfast promote eating less at other meals, the researchers hypothesize it could help people to maintain or lose weight.

When it comes to eating a healthy breakfast, it's important to look at the overall balance of the meal and not just the individual ingredients. This pertains to Glycemic Load, not just the index of individual foods. Most people eat a mixed meal and different foods have varying glycemic index So, while one food might be high on the scale, it can be better balanced when eating with other lower-glycemic index foods.

Trying breakfasts that have a protein and fat composition to it might better stabilize blood sugars for the rest of your day.

A scramble with veggies and avocado, a bowl of oats, seeds and a few blueberries,  or a banana and fruit shake with the addition of a high quality plant protein and a tsp of coconut oil are all examples of a balance GL breakfast to start you day out right.

Is breakfast the hardest meal for you to get in? Try preparing it the night before, setting your alarm 10-15 mins earlier (not my favourite), or make things that are packable.

Here is a link to a portable recipe, try making these delicious Seedy Breakfast Bars this weekend and you'll have breakfast prep for the rest of the week!

    I wanted a venue to share my thoughts on what I have learned and lived  in life. 

Wild Seed Holistic Health respectfully acknowledges that we work, live & play in the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
