Breakfast should be the most important meal of your day, as it gives you the fuel you need for the entire day. When we wake up in the morning, our glucose stores are low, leaving us with hardly any energy. According to a 1999 study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition,a healthy breakfast—high in fibre and low in carbs—will make you feel less tired through the day. However, you need not break your head thinking about what to eat every day. Here is a list of healthy Indian dishes that you can have:
Dalia
This desi superfood is high in fibre and keeps you full for a longer time. It has a low glycemic index (the rate at which the body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose) and complex carbohydrates. So the release of glucose into the blood is slow, which in turn keeps blood sugar levels under control. The high-fibre content makes it easier for the body to digest dalia and prevents constipation.
Upma
It is made using semolina, which is high in protein and low in fat. The low glycemic index makes it easily digestible. It gives you enough energy to keep you going through the day.
Thepla
It is rich in vitamin B complex and fibre, so you feel full for longer. Add nutritious veggies such as carrots and spinach to it to make it healthier. Thepla also has fenugreek, which is rich in calcium and magnesium, thus giving you stronger bones.
Sprouts salad
Sprouts have a higher nutritional value and are packed with vitamin E, potassium, iron, phytochemicals, bioflavonoids and protein. They are also rich in antioxidants, which help the body fight the damaging effects of free radicals.
Paneer bhurji
Paneer is delicious in every form, and starting your day with paneer bhurji is a great idea. It is a good source of protein and calcium. It is also packed with conjugated linoleic acid,which is a fatty acid that helps you lose weight by revving up the fat burning process in the body.
