As a college student, you are always busy. You do everything, such as showering the night before, leaving clothes ready for the next morning, and even skipping breakfast to stay in bed for a few extra minutes. But do you notice that the rest of the day you are feeling tired? Then you wish you could take a nap? What you are doing wrong is skipping breakfast!
You have probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and guess what? Breakfast is the most important meal! Breakfast in the morning provides you with the energy you need to stay awake, that is if you are eating the right kind of food. Don’t just think that by eating a bagel or a muffin, or in essence, foods loaded with simple carbohydrates or high in sugar, that you will be set for a day full of activities. Foods high in fiber is what you want to eat. In this article, Dr. Oz tells you what makes fiber so beneficial.
Here is a list of foods that are high in fiber, and that will boost your energy and help you survive the busy schedule of a typical college student:
1) Fresh and Dried Fruit:
- Apples with the skin
- Avocados
- Bananas
- Blueberries
- Grapefruits
- Plums
2) Grains, Beans, Nuts and Seeds:
- Almonds
- Black beans
- Cashews
- Lentils
- Oats
- Quinoa
- Sunflower seeds
3) Vegetables:
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Carrots
- Onions
- Tomatoes
As you can see, those foods are not really hard to find; you can find them at your local grocery store! They are convenient foods; most of them you can easily store in a plastic bag the night before and eat them while you are waiting for class to start or 5 minutes before you leave to start your hectic day!

ReplyDeleteI do not believe that eating these healthy foods during breakfast would necessarily helped in reducing fatigue during the day. Yes, eating breakfast is necessary, however, there are other factors that would affect tiredness than just breakfast. P.S. in my own opinion, I wouldn't really consider Dr. Oz a credible source.
ReplyDeleteThis article caught my eye because I think that every college student can relate to feeling tired a lot of the time. It was kind of funny how she talked about if you skip breakfast you will be tired for the rest of the day, because normally I do skip breakfast. I tend to be running late and breakfast just seems like something that can easily be skipped and not suffer any consequences. After reading this article, I think I will start to make more of an effort to make breakfast everyday.
