The "healthiest" breakfast that is causing a sensation in the United States, according to a specialist

Among the variety of breakfasts that we usually prepare daily, such as eggs, pancakes, French toast, among many others, it is inevitable to ask ourselves: Are these preparations truly healthy? Although there are studies and research that point out the variety of nutrients that these foods can provide, the truth is that there is another breakfast that has recently gone viral in the United States due to the number of benefits to start the day. 

According to the specialist in Endocrinology and Nutrition Antonio Escribano, during an interview with the Spanish media Canal Sur, he revealed that a Mediterranean-type breakfast can become the best option for the body to obtain the energy and nutrients it needs. 

According to the specialist, these are the foods that can provide the most benefits to the body through breakfast: 

• Bread

  Ham 

  Olive oil 

  Tomato

“At that first hour of the morning, we are receiving a few components that are making, so to speak, the overture of the opera that is eating throughout the day. And the olive oil, along with the protein in the ham and along with the lycopene in the tomato, ultimately compose a little song that the body feels great about,” mentioned Escribano during his participation. 

An extra element in this type of breakfast

According to the European specialist, these foods should be consumed in moderation and in optimal amounts. According to Escribano, there are cases in which people tend to add large amounts of oil, so the breakfast can lose its benefits and become more harmful than beneficial. 

"When I see people putting a piece of toast that is like the sole of a shoe and pouring half a book of oil on it… of course, in the end, that has calories and that makes you gain weight. The right dose,” declared the doctor. 

In the same interview, the specialist also added that there is another food that can complement this diet: dairy products. According to Escribano, and using milk as an example, these types of foods can provide a variety of vitamins such as A, D, and K. 

Furthermore, the Spanish doctor pointed out that this type of breakfast does not have to be consumed complete in the morning. The so-called "extended breakfast" can be used, which consists of consuming various products throughout the morning with the intention of avoiding the effects of a block breakfast, which causes insulin, sugar, and glucose levels to drop "violently" in the hours following consumption.
