Can a Full English Breakfast Outshine Yoghurt and Granola in Health Benefits?

<p class="mol-para-with-font"> Scientists claim that a classic fry-up is healthier than trendy morning meals like granola and fruity yogurt. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> The traditional full English breakfast is packed with proteins, vitamins, and nutrients. Studies indicate that it helps keep you satiated for extended periods and can also be beneficial for brain health. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Meanwhile, many so-called 'healthy', 'low-fat' on-the-go breakfasts are commonly packed with sugar, corn syrup and fruit juice concentrate. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> These basic carbs offer a brief surge of energy but can subsequently make us feel lethargic and lead to cravings for unhealthful snacks. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Experts found that cooked morning meals contained complex carbohydrates and healthy fats that helped sustain us all day long. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> And a moderately portioned fry-up, using quality, unprocessed British ingredients, can contain as little as 600 calories - around a quarter of an adult's recommended daily intake. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> But some top-selling fruit and yoghurt bars have up to 220 calories per biscuit, meaning just three bickies could total more calories than a plate of eggs, bacon and sausage. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> The report, commissioned by Ski Vertigo, warned Brits to beware of breakfast products high in sugar and simple carbs 'but marketed as 'healthy'. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1xW4tl" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1xW4tl.jpg"/> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1xVVRK" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1xVVRK.jpg"/> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1xVXOM" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1xVXOM.jpg"/> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> It said: 'To fuel your body properly, the key is balancing macronutrients - protein, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'A breakfast rich in these nutrients stabilises your blood sugar and keeps you full longer. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'This not only enhances energy levels but also supports weight management and cognitive function.' </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> The statement continued: "Specialists from Ski Vertigo, experts in offering nutritious and well-balanced meals at their all-inclusive lodges, caution that an apparently harmless selection might lead to trouble, impacting one’s energy levels, digestive health, and overall wellbeing." </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Consider granola bars, fruity yogurt drinks, and certain cereals advertising themselves as 'low-fat' or 'organic'. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Although these alternatives may appear to be wise selections, they could result in a rapid increase in blood glucose levels, which would then inevitably lead to a drop. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Not only does this roller coaster leave you feeling lethargic, but it also puts your body into a state that could trigger cravings and overeating later in the day. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> English Breakfast Society chairman Guise Bule de Missenden said: 'We have long advocated for the nutritional merits of the traditional English breakfast.' </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> He added: 'A well-prepared English breakfast provides anyone who needs real energy to sustain them throughout the day with healthy fats and complex carbohydrates, contributing to sustained energy release and satiety. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'Assuming unprocessed quality British ingredients are the core components, the English breakfast can be quite healthy when eaten in moderation.' </p> Read more
