Energy for the whole day – the benefits of a balanced breakfast

During sleep our body uses the night for regeneration and in the process uses up some of its available energy reserves. Since the brain and muscles always need new fuel, we then need to refill the empty energy stores. Our ability to concentrate and perform well during the day depends largely on what we eat in the morning. If you don’t eat anything, you’re running on empty. A balanced breakfast, on the other hand, gives us power for the morning and forms a solid basis for the whole day ahead

Sugar and the weight loss battle! V

All low calorie sweeteners sold today on the market have passed a rigorous safety assessment by the European Food Safety Authority and the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), which also set the acceptable daily intake levels (ADI).

Dr. Emma Derbyshire from the UK explains: “The ADI is the maximum amount considered safe to consume every day over the course of your lifetime, and this figure also includes a very generous additional safety margin.
