For your well-being and health, many of you wonder if cereals are good for breakfast. Well, most commercial cereals are sugar bombs. The result is the same as with orange juice, white bread, and jam: an energy crash at 11 AM and increased risks of diseases in the long term.

Cereals: Practical but Not Always Healthy

Industrial cereals are often rich in refined sugars, additives, and saturated fats. Their high glycemic index causes insulin spikes followed by cravings. Result: sawtooth energy and hunger pangs by mid-morning. If you add to this the high-temperature cooking process, which further increases their glycemic index, you understand that these are truly junk foods, harmful to the body, consisting of eating foods with high caloric content (especially sugars and fats) but low nutritional value.

Add eggs, fresh fruits, a source of good fats (nut butter, organic coconut oil), and a hot beverage for a winning combination. That's if you're looking for the ideal breakfast; it will be perfectly acceptable, especially if you add a salad.

Conclusion

Cereals can be a health ally... but only if you choose them wisely. Exit the ultra-sweetened colorful boxes, make way for simple mixtures rich in nutrients and adapted to your needs.

And most importantly, don't forget: the best breakfast is the one that makes you feel good, without guilt or excess.
