Celebrate National Breakfast Month With a Crunch of Almonds
(firmenpresse) - MODESTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/28/11 -- Breakfast is the one meal of the day everyone -- from your grandmother to your family doctor -- warns you not to skip. Sure, people have their reasons: Too busy, not hungry, slept in or maybe just stuck in the proverbial breakfast rut. It happens.
But it's a good time to remember that breakfast didn't earn the title of "most important meal of the day" for nothing.
Adding almonds to breakfast is just the extra boost a bowl of cereal; a cup of low-fat yogurt or a slice of whole wheat toast needs to go from good to even better. In fact, in a recent study released in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, February 2011 by Dr. Mori, et al, it was found that eating a breakfast upgraded with almonds (a low glycemic index food) aided in stabilizing blood glucose levels for the better part of the day -- while also keeping study participants satiated for a longer period of time.

Cynthia Sass, Registered Dietitian and New York Times Best Selling author of "Cinch! Conquer Cravings and Lose Inches" recommends a nutritious breakfast should include whole grains, lean protein, fruit and her favorite: almonds.
"My first tip when I counsel people is to get them started on breakfast. Something is better than nothing. People may think skipping breakfast means saving calories, but in fact it forces your body to work when it doesn't have fuel, which can result in a sluggish metabolism," Sass explains. "Even if you aren't hungry, train your body to eat something in the morning. People tend to eat fewer calories and make healthier choices throughout the day when they start with breakfast."

(2) Good news about fat. U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend that the majority of your fat intake be unsaturated. One serving of almonds (28g) has 13g of fat and only 1g of saturated fat.
