How does your day start?

Are you a "OMG" the alarm is going off already, UGGGHHHH" OR a "Rise n Shine world, cuz here I come"? Both lead to entirely different experiences for the day and definitely become a strong Pre-cursor for the day to come. With this understanding, I personally choose the "Rise n Shine"....way to start my day and I will tell you this, from personal experience, it is the BEST way to start any day!

With my attitude in check and set with Intentions of making it a GREAT day, I begin thinking of FOOD (smile). How busy is my day, what do I have to plan for, how long will I be away from any selections of food, will I be by any selections of food at all? I love breakfast...the smell, the choices, and the way I feel after getting some yummy in my tummy. I will tell you what I have learned over the years that makes me feel best and what makes my stomach twist n turn. I have learned that while we are sleeping our body is taking advantage of the down time with no interruptions on getting itself back or closer to Alkaline (which is a good place, opposite of Acidic which is a bad place to be). So, in waking up, we should focus more on helping our body get closer to that Alkaline place by eating something that is not fried, high in saturated fats, processed, loaded with sugars, and high in sodium. Try looking more towards eggs, whole wheat toast, fruit, whole juiced juice, some sauteed veggies....this would be an IDEAL breakfast~healthy protein, healthy carbs, some fiber and some micronutrients with the veggies. This results in Power n Energy, the perfect way to get your day up n rollin on a good note (smile).

Now for example the bad: T-bone steak or Breakfast ham, fried hashbrowns, side of pancakes...this combo results in High Saturated fats, High Sodium, fried in oil dehydrated potato, Enriched white flour pancakes (digests and turns straight to sugar) and the ever so sweet syrup (more sugar). This type of a start will do two things: put you back into a food coma and body will be slammed into a spiked sugar load, which results to a low energy and hungry again (even after consuming this 2000 calorie breakfast....yes, you will be hungry again). This is the reason why people skip breakfast, because they get sleepy when they should be "bright eyed n bushy tailed" ready for the day and also if this causes them to be hungry again, why would anyone want to eat breakfast?!.

Yes, it is so true, what we put into our body and what we get outta our body all depends on US and what we Choose. For some people it is hard to shift into a Breakfast person over night, but there is an answer to this...Replacement Protein Meal Shakes for breakfast. They absolutely work, super convenient, super easy and super nutritious for every person for every day. All in all, have a mentality that demands and persists to live your BEST day.
