Have you looked out of the window or balcony the moment you wake up? The bright fills you with so much warmth and energy. Wake up early and watch the sun rise and the beautiful colours of the sky. It will fill your senses with so much happiness.
Morning Besides giving you a chance to watch the sunrise, waking up early in the morning also gives you a lot of time to plan the day properly and make time for yourself. Here are a few benefits of waking up early in the morning.
Breakfast Eggs are a good breakfast option but it is best to avoid fried eggs. If you find boiled eggs a bit boring, opt for poached eggs for breakfast with two slices of multigrain or whole wheat toasts and a glass of skimmed milk.
Lunch Lunch needs to be filling not heavy and rich. This recipe of a fibre and iron rich palak saag will fill your tummy and won t give you the bloated feeling too. Avoid eating more than 2 medium sized rotis. If you have a bigger appetite, eat some green salad or drink a glass of plain buttermilk with it.
Snack It s not always necessary to have snacks or munchies at snack time. You can have a glass of smoothie and feel full. A glass full of thick smoothie is an excellent evening snack. You can try this fantastic fruit smoothie or a date and banana smoothie today.
Dinner Try eating dinner as early as possible. You need at least a few hours gap between dinner and going to bed to digest the food. A one dish meal is quick and easy to make and easy to digest. Try pepper prawns tonight.
