Starting your day with a nourishing breakfast sets the tone for the hours ahead. Instead of sugary cereals, choose nutrient-rich options that provide fibre, vitamins and energy. Oats, muesli and granola deliver whole grains, nuts and seeds. Organic blends often include chia seeds, buckwheat or hemp for extra protein. Traditional Indian cereals like ragi (finger millet), bajra (pearl millet) and jowar (sorghum) are high in iron and minerals. Even simple corn flakes become healthier when topped with fruit and nuts.
Benefits of wholesome cereals include better digestion, steady energy and satiety. They’re easy to prepare – just add milk or yogurt – and suit both kids and adults. To keep your breakfast nutritious, avoid heavily sweetened cereals, add fresh fruit and nuts, choose organic milk when possible and don’t skip breakfast. Eating slowly helps you feel fuller and improves digestion.
