A good morning routine can set the tone for a happy and productive day. That’s why our morning habits are more important than we usually think. Here are some unhealthy morning habits to avoid.
Not Eating Enough Protein
Eating protein-rich foods first thing in the morning is the best way to ensure you’ll stay full until lunch. That’s why Greek yogurt, avocado, cheese or eggs are some of the best breakfast foods.
Skipping Breakfast
There’s a good reason why they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It boosts our energy levels, lowers the risk of any heart-related diseases and keeps us full until lunch. Don’t think you’re cutting calories by skipping breakfast, because people who do this have the habit of overeating later or eating plenty of sugar.
Drinking Juice
Drinking fruit juice with breakfast is not necessarily unhealthy, but it is better to eat fresh fruit instead. Fruit will provide you with plenty of nutrients, while juices usually contain too much sugar.
Drinking Coffee First
Drinking coffee first thing in the morning is probably the most common habit—but it’s not a healthy one. Nutritionists say the best time to drink your morning coffee is after 10am, so try to replace it with a nice cup of tea, a glass of water or lemon water.
