HEALTH AND COMMUNITY NEWS
Having Cereal For Breakfast?
Actually I like cereal as a
snack, also. Any time of the
day. Especially if I had some
thing else for breakfast.
Nothing could be quicker
or easier. Even on the go, pour
some cereal into a plastic bag
gie, or better a wide mouth jar
with a top, take rice milk or
almond milk in a travel pack
and you’re off.
The trouble is finding a cereal
that is actually healthy. The
number of boxes on the shelves
is mind boggling. And, no mat
ter how many times I say ‘read
the labels’ I will encounter a
client who says “ It said it’s
good for the heart”. Marketing
is marketing and not necessari
ly fact. Read the labels, there is
no getting around it.
If you have diabetes,
heart disease, any chronic dis
ease, or you want to make good

choices to prevent health prob
lems, you want to find a cereal
that is good for you. The easi
est way is to shop in the
‘healthy’ isles, of the grocery
store. But even there you have
to read the labels.
The healthiest breakfast is
one of a whole grain cereal,
with Suit and a vegetable, or
vegetable juice. (The carrot
juice is good. ) If you are want
ing to control weight, choles
terol or diabetes, or want a lot
of energy, a hot cooked cereal
of whole grains, such as brown
rice, wheat berries, oatmeal, or
barley, cooked as you would
oatmeal.
Flavor it with dried fruit
or raisins, adding your favorite
flavors such as cinnamon or
ginger and some walnuts or
pecans. Personally, I like the
cold cereals. But which ever
you choose, please read the
ingredients label.
You want to look for
100% whole grains, such as
wheat, quinoa, millet or ama
ranth. If you like oatmeal, look
for steel cut it makes a wonder
ful cooked meal, even for folk
who don’t like oatmeal. Look
for Ezekiel bread and cereal,
really good.
Lower your intake of
sugar, and cut out the artificial
sweeteners altogether.
Sucralose is another name for
Splenda.
Having a great breakfast
everyday will get you ready for
great living. You’ll feel good,
look good and have the energy
to do great things.
You’ll feel like exercis
ing, and exercising will make
you want to drink more water,
and then you’ll sleep better
than a baby. And you’re on
your way. Read the Labels.
Start with this small change.
