Over the years, we have heard and even taught that breakfast is the most essential food of the day, but Dr. Manjari Chandra, Senior Advisor, Everhop Oncology and Max Healthcare have nutritional therapy, disagree.

“Breakfast is not really what our body needs. It is just the perception that we have created. The truth is that, it is a very forced concept from industries that marketing breakfast foods,” she describes India .in.

Visually instead of the following routine, Dr. Lunar recommends more importance to the body’s hunger signals, which is actually nutritious.

Below, nutritionists rate some of the most famous Indian breakfast how healthy they are:

Upma, Dosa, Idli (6/10)

Traditionally, South Indian breakfast is loved by many because they are easy to make and digest. Dr. Chandra explains, “Homemade food is delicious, but the problem is that it can be overload of carbohydrates Semolina And rice. ,

Cornflex (-1/10)

The so-called “quick go-to-breakfast” is far from healthy. The cornflakes are highly sophisticated and processed, which is loaded with sugars, starch and excess sodium. “They only look healthy because people who make them want we believe so,” Dr. Chandra says.

Paratha vegetable (6/10)

One of the most favorite Indian breakfast, Pantha vegetable can be healthy if made with full wheat, fresh seasonal vegetables or cheese stuffing. Dr. According to Chandra, “They are delicious, fill, and can keep you energetic for hours, but the negative side is that they are still quite high in carbohydrates.”

Musli (0/10)

While many people believe that musli is a healthy option for grains, as it looks like a nutritious mixture of oats, nuts and dried fruits, the reality is different. Most packed varieties are laden with hidden sugars, sophisticated carbohydrates and preservatives, which reduce the nutritional value.

“It looks like a healthy food, but for your body, it is more like candy, which is cleverly marketed as nutritious,” Dr. Chandra says. She also says that you can make it equal for candy.

A bowl of fruit (5/10)

Fruits are one of the most favorite breakfast, especially when someone wants to keep it “light and healthy”. While they are actually rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, they also come with high doses of natural sugar.

“Fruits should be eaten in small servings, preferably after protein like eggs, beans, or yogurt. A full bowl of fruits alone is not the right snack,” Dr. Chandra advised.

Skipping breakfast (7/10)

Skipping breakfast is often seen as unhealthy, but Dr. Chandra argues that it may be better than starting the day with a really processed foods. She says, “You need to eat only twice a day, and breakfast we have the most useless food,” she says that people with health conditions may require morning meals.

Furthermore, she says, “Skipping is not the right word; rather, it is about not eating breakfast and instead your body really needs it when you have food. This is the right approach.”

Boiled eggs (8/10)

Eggs are at the top of its list as they provide high quality proteins with essential vitamins and minerals that support overall health. Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods, the best boiled, whether it is soft boiled, hard boiled, or cooked.

Maggi/Instant Noodles (-200/10)

Making and often preferred by young men in the form of breakfast food, as much as it seems that can be more dangerous for health. “They are not even food, but only a mixture of maida, artificial colors, tastes and chemicals. It is misleading to call them breakfast; they are nothing but poison to the body,” she warns.

Pancakex (1 to 8/10)

Pancakex is a favorite snack for many, but their health value depends entirely on how they are made. If you prepare them with lentils, RagiOr a type of grain and vegetables, they are a great option. But Meda Dr. Says Chandra, “Pancakes with syrup, or waffles, are the worst,” he said.

The consumption we consume for breakfast is really important, but in the morning, less than what you eat, how much nutrient-dense and balanced food is.
