Eat More Cereal
A bowl of cereal for breakfast is the healthiest way to start the day according to scientists.
According to The Telegraph, people who eat cereal also consume more milk than normal and eat less fatty foods, meat, eggs and sugary drinks, the 10-year study found.
The study of 2,379 teenage girls in the US by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute says consumption of cereal goes hand in hand with other positive habits, like exercise.
Cereal is also packed with vitamins which have positive effects on the body. According to the findings, cereal lovers also consume more fiber and carbohydrates during the day and do more physical exercise.
Researchers set out to find out why breakfast is often described as the best meal of the day.
For children, eating breakfast is already linked to better nutrition, lower body mass index, higher rates of physical activity and improved quality of life.
The lifestyle of cereal eaters was compared to that of people who had other types of breakfast.
Cereal provides more fiber, iron, folic acid, and zinc and less fat, sodium, sugar, and cholesterol, compared with other breakfast foods.
