Rich in vitamins, minerals and other valuable nutrients, they give you a boost in the morning. Here are the foods to fight the morning slack and to face the commitments of the day with more sprint
Breakfast, along with lunch and dinner, is one of the basic meals of the day. If it is healthy, complete and balanced it allows you to fight hunger attacks, remove the sgarri and recharge yourself with useful energy to face the commitments of the day with an extra gear. «The classic cappuccino and croissant combination or the solutions to be consumed on the fly as sweet or savory snacks even if they are practical to consume are to be avoided.

"Better to focus on foods rich in slow-release carbohydrates that give energy gradually and on fibers, proteins, vitamins and minerals, which are essential to promote proper functioning of the organism from the early morning hours."
Cereals & Co. to remove fatigue
Cookies, flakes, cereals are best chosen in the full version. «They contain more fibers, which slow the absorption of sugars in the blood, give slow-release energy and prolong satiety.

Antioxidants to recharge the brain
In the breakfast menus, go-ahead is also granted to foods rich in "beneficial" fats. «Omega 3, of which dry nuts and oil seeds are a source, for example, in addition to protecting the heart, promotes good brain functioning and concentration, counteracting attention loss during the day. Even seasonal fruit is excellent for breakfast because it is rich in antioxidant substances. Wild berries, blueberries, for example, which can be consumed in porridge, are a real reserve of anthocyanins ", concludes the expert.
