Wellbeing - the healthy breakfast choice

Start your day with a great breakfast for a great working day! This advice comes from nutritionist and author of The Food Mood Solution, Jack Challem - take your pick from his healthy breakfast menu.

 

What your mother said is really true -breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eat the right type of breakfast and you'll have great energy levels. Eat the wrong type of breakfast and your energy levels and ability to concentrate will be up and down. A good breakfast contains quality protein. An unhealthy breakfast is rich in sugars and carbs and is basically dessert at breakfast time.
 
 
How it can benefit your daily health - such as concentration?

Eating a quality breakfast benefits health in several ways. It improves energy levels. It improves concentration. It also reduces appetite later in the day, so it's easier to lose and maintain a healthy weight. People who skip breakfast typically overeat later on.

Editor's Welcome

 

Hello! And welcome back as we enter 2012, with a busy year ahead of us all. With talk of double-dip recessions, a possible partial or even full break-up of the Eurozone and unemployment rates set to hit nearly 9%, topics such as organisational streamlining, staff resilience and talent management are likely to be on many an HR professional's lips over the next 12 months.
 
But to lighten the gloom here in the UK, we also have the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and its attendant public holidays to look forward to at the start of June. Followed by two weeks of Olympic Games from 27 July to 12 August and the Paralympics from 29 August to 9 September, each generating their own excitement, but also issues to work through for hard-pressed HR departments trying to sort out the multifarious staffing issues in advance.
 
So with an interesting but challenging year to come, HRZone promises to be with you, supporting you all the way and providing our usual insightful blend of news, analysis, community blogs and expert comment to help you sort the wheat from the chaff. As ever, we love to hear from you too so feel free to either post your words of wisdom to our blog section yourself or, in the case of longer, more in-depth ‘expert voice’ articles, drop me a line with any ideas to cath.everett@siftmedia.co.uk.....
