You should not eat these foods in the morning

Like many, if you also believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you need to reconsider it. Because some people are doing much better when they skip breakfast. It doesn’t mean you should skip too, but you need to watch the food you eat in the morning. Eating an unhealthy breakfast can do more harm than good. Our today heath tips series will provide you the best and worst foods to eat in the morning. 

Health tips of the day – An early morning diet that includes fibre, protein and healthy fat can give you the energy to stay active throughout the day and keep you full. On the contrary, eating an unhealthy breakfast can make you feel sluggish, make you gain weight and increase your risk of chronic disease.  Here are 3 foods you should avoid eating in the morning.

Fortified breakfast cereals

Cereal packages may claim about containing whole grains, or many nutrients like vitamin A and iron, but these are all marketing strategies to woo buyers. The fact is that most breakfast cereals contain mostly refined (not whole) grains and sugar. These cereals are highly processed, contain artificially added nutrients and are often loaded with sugar. And high sugar intake is known to raise the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease

Pancakes and Waffles

These two items may be your favourite choices for weekend breakfasts, but not for your health. Both pancakes and waffles are very high in refined flour, which researchers say can contribute to insulin resistance and obesity. Pancake syrup also contain high-fructose corn syrup, which can lead to inflammation that drives insulin resistance, and cause prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

Flavoured non-fat yogurts

A fat-free, sugar-sweetened fruit yogurt should not make into your breakfast menu. Many flavoured non-fat yogurts contain high amount of sugar that is not good for your health. Moreover, fat is not as bad as you think. Researchers say fat can help keep you full because it takes longer to digest than carbs. Instead opt for a bowl of plain, whole-milk Greek yogurt topped with berries for a healthy breakfast.

Drinking soda, sweetened drinks may up chronic kidney disease

People who drink lots of sugar-sweetened drinks and soda may be putting themselves at a greater risk of chronic kidney disease, according to a study. The findings,  contribute to the growing body of evidence pointing to the negative health consequences of consuming sugar-sweetened beverages. Certain beverages may affect kidney health, but study results have been inconsistent.


"There is a lack of comprehensive information on the health implications of the wide range of beverage options that are available in the food supply," said a researcher.

"In particular, there is limited information on which types of beverages and patterns of beverages are associated with kidney disease risk in particular," he said.

The researchers assessed beverage intake through a food frequency questionnaire administered at the start of the study in 2000-04, and they followed participants until 2009-13. Among the 3,003 participants, 185 (6 per cent) developed chronic kidney disease (CKD) over a median follow-up of 8 years.

Consuming a beverage pattern consisting of soda, sweetened fruit drinks, and water was associated with a higher risk of developing CKD. Participants in the top tertile for consumption of this beverage pattern were 61 per cent more likely to develop CKD than those in the bottom tertile.

The researchers were surprised to see that water was a component of this beverage pattern that was linked with a higher risk of CKD. They noted that study participants may have reported their consumption of a wide variety of types of water, including flavoured and sweetened water.
