You often feel tired all day long? In the morning you can’t get out of bed and it doesn’t really get any better during the day? Especially in winter, the darkness and cold contribute to this. Of course, this is not only a physical burden but also a psychological one.
First of all, you may think of the typical household remedies like coffee, lots of fresh air, exercise, enough sleep and so on, but that alone often doesn’t help. Do you perhaps feel the same way? – Then you should definitely try this nutritional trick: Warm breakfast. Sounds unbelievable, but it works.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago the Chinese discovered the advantages of a warm breakfast in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). In TCM nutritional science, our digestive system is the centre of our existence and is therefore directly related to our well-being.
According to our internal organ clock, our stomach and intestine work most effectively from 7:00 to 11:00 am. This is therefore also the best time window for food intake. This means you already doing it right just by having breakfast at all.
If you allow yourself to have a cooked meal, you will make your body really happy. Our stomach can transform warm food, such as a cooked porridge, a lot easier than cold food. As a result, you use less energy to digest and can get much more strength from the nutrients you take in.
A balanced breakfast should contain these four components from a nutritional point of view: carbohydrates, fat, protein and fruit or vegetables. Porridge contains all of these. The basis for the warm porridge consists of oat flakes or oat bran cooked in water or milk.
The oats from which the oat flakes are made are even so healthy that a working group at the University of Würzburg voted it the medicinal plant of the year in 2017. The fibre in the small miracle flakes ensures that you stay full for a long time, but still feel light as a feather.
Moreover, oat flakes also contain valuable long-chain carbohydrates, an optimal protein composition, lots of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.
And so that you can also look forward to your warm breakfast in terms of taste, you can simply add fresh fruit, nuts, seeds or a little bit of honey to your porridge depending on your mood and preferences. A tip to not get cold in winter: simply cook the cold fruit with the porridge.
