Food for Thought : Breakfast

Fall is in the air , school is back in session  and there is no better time than September  to celebrate  All America Breakfast Month .
Even though we frequently hear about the importance of breakfast , approximately 31 million  AAmericans  skip breakfast everyday. Here are a few tips to help you get back  on the Breakfast tract :

1. Studies have shown  that eating  a protein-rich breakfast  will help  prevent overeating  throughout the day , so make  sure you get enough . Protein rich foods  such as  lean meats  , eggs , skim milk  and yogurt , are good choices.

2. Most people  say they skip breakfast  because they don't have time . Make a resolution to find time saving tricks that work for you and your family . Try quick foods  like apples  with peanut butter  , Greek yogurt  and fruit with granola , or boiled eggs  with toast and juice  are quick  and wholesome  breakfasts . You can boil eggs  and store them in the refrigerator  with shell intact  for several days .

3. While cereal  may be quick  and easy , it can be an unwanted  source of added sugars  and calories . Read the label carefully , look for cereals  that are made  with whole grains , contain less  than 5 grams  of sugar  and more than 5 grams of fiber . Use  low-fat  or skim milk  and fruit  for a more  complete breakfast .

Words of Wisdom :
The only thing worse than losing your sight is losing your vision.
Laughter is a fix that will fix the fix that you are in  or fixin' to be in .
Fear knocked , Faith answered and there was no one there .
The best sermons are lived , not preached.
