Do not miss your breakfast
Think about Rathna Café Idli, Vada Sambar..Oh
What a Taste!!!
“Breakfast
like a King, Lunch like a Prince and Dinner like a Pauper” is a very
famous proverb and is very true considering the fact that 25 percent of the
day's calorie should come from breakfast.
Glucose is the main source of energy
for brain and the continuous supply of glucose is required to improve
concentration, mental performance, memory and mood. Researches have shown that
breakfast helps to replenish blood glucose levels in the brain.
Skipping breakfast often leads to poor
concentration, irritability, low blood sugar levels and a high craving for food
in midmorning or lunch. These results in overeating and weight gain. In fact it
would be easier to control your weight by eating smaller meals and healthy
snacks more frequently than skipping any meal.
In India,
there are varieties of breakfast items available which are nutritious and
provide the required amount of energy to sustain throughout the day. Breakfast
foods differ from region to region. Let us review some of the common breakfast
items.
Idli and dosa - made from rice and pulse, it gives good amount of energy
and proteins and if had with Vegetable sambar, it contributes to vitamins and
minerals.
Upma - there are varieties of upma prepared, most of them with semolina
which is energy rich. However Upma prepared with broken wheat and vegetables is
very nutritious because of its fiber content.
Ven Pogal Vada Combination is too Good
Sandwiches - prepared with vegetables/ and brown bread
is a complete breakfast food containing all the vital nutrients and of course
fibre. But i never liked brown bread; but no way i can avoid it as i am diapetic.
Bread omelet - is a high protein breakfast food and very much
recommended especially for children, athletes and those who are looking to
build muscles. However people with cholesterol or any heart problems should
prepare the omelet only with egg white.
Konjam komattum and i do not like the smell.
Oats/cornflakes/ Raw rice Kanji/ Kanji Mavu/ with milk and fruits - Oats is gaining lots of popularity these
days owing to its high content of soluble fibre and its benefit in reducing
cholesterol in the body. So oats with skimmed milk and fresh fruits are a very
good option especially for those who are on a weight reduction diet
I take Boiled rice Kanji adding Splenda.
Whenever
I go to India/ Chennai, at least once I go Rathna Café Triplicane for 2 idlies, 2 vadas
and bucket full of sambar!!! Oh. What a taste!!!
