13 Healthy Habits to Improve our Lives.

We are going to provide you '13 Healthy Habits' weekly for 13 weeks.

Why?

To take care of ourselves, providing us a chance to live a happy, healthy life and not neglect our mental and emotional well-being. :))

So let's start with Day 1 Healthy habit.

Healthy Habit 1: EAT BREAKFAST EVERY MORNING

Breakfast eaters are champions of good health. Research shows people who have a morning meal tend to take in more vitamins and minerals, and less fat and cholesterol. The result is often a leaner body, lower cholesterol count, and less chance of overeating. Breakfast also can hold off hunger pangs until lunchtime and make high-calorie vending machine options less enticing.

Not only that, it was reported that breakfast eaters are significantly less likely to be obese and get diabetes compared with nonbreakfast eaters.

A study in the International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition showed that people who consumed breakfast cereal every day reported feeling better both physically and mentally than those who rarely ate cereal in the morning.

To get the full benefits of breakfast, a meal with carbohydrates, protein, and a small amount of fat is recommended.

So dear readers, it is very, very important to eat breakfast to help us stay alert and be productive for an entire day.

So, let's all eat breakfast and maintain a healthy lifestyle together.

Do check out the website tomorrow for our Day 2 Healthy Habit.
