Most children and adults skip breakfast or consume  inadequate. These people are not only conciliate their performance at work or school but also reducing the quality of their diet, primarily because they are likely more to fill up on calorie-dense foods later during the day. Hence, they may be missing out on essential nutrients mandatory to maintain a healthy, balanced diet, which breakfast cereals can provide.

Nutrients improved performance of particular importance to have been identified as carbohydrates, protein, iron and calcium. Eating breakfast cereals, which are high in minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates and provide a good source of protein, iron and calcium (Particularly when consumed with milk) therefore is a great way to provide the body with the nutrients it needs to start the day.

In summary breakfast cereals contribute the following essential vitamins and minerals to our daily diets:

Fibre

Dietary fiber helps maintain a healthy digestive tract and may help protect against colorectal cancer, reducing the risk of becoming overweight and developing type 2 diabetes. Cereal fiber has retained important properties of water that helps prevent constipation and keep the large intestines healthy. It also helps to promote the feeling of fullness after a meal and may therefore reducing cravings for snack foods and helps weight control. The fiber from cereals containing oats also helps lower blood cholesterol levels. Breakfast cereals play an important role in dietary fiber and providing the richest sources are bran, wholegrain and oat-based cereal.

Essential Vitamins & Minerals

Different than most other foods eaten at breakfast, the majority of breakfast cereals are fortified with a range of essential vitamins and minerals. One bowl of cereal provides many essential vitamins and 17% for iron, from at least 25% of daily needed.

 

• The easiest way to increase calcium by eating breakfast cereals with milk

Carbohydrates

Part of a daily healthy diet, Carbohydrates are important, because they provide energy for our body. Many foods rich in whole-grain carbohydrates are best sources of essential vitamins and minerals. Having breakfast cereal for breakfast, which low in fat and high in carbohydrate and fiber, will help to feel full for long period, then reduce craving for fatty snacks during the mid-morning.

Weight Control

Having breakfast everyday is an effective way to mange the weight control. People who eat breakfast, particularly breakfast cereal, are less likely to be overweight than those who do not eat breakfast.

Salt

Salt is an important ingredient of breakfast cereals. It is used to improve flavor, and texture Breakfast cereals generally add a very small proportion of salt in the diet- on average they contain only 0.29g of sodium per 100g.
Cereal manufacture companies have been reducing salt in their products for a number of years, prior to the FSA and Department of Health policies on salt reduction, with the latest data revealing a 49% reduction between 1998 and 2009.

Cereal manufacturers are committed to continue to review salt levels in the breakfast cereals market on an annual basis and to monitor the trend.

Sugar

Sugar is also an important source of carbohydrate, the body’s primary energy source. Sugar occurs naturally in fruit and vegetables but is also added to a range of other foods during the production process, where it helps add flavor, texture, color and mouth-feel to products.

Widely of varies <a href="http://ubestpriceshop.com/bobs-red-mill-granola-honey-almond-healthy-breakfast" title="healthy breakfast cereal”>breakfast cereals contain sugar, some containing none or very little added sugar. On average, breakfast cereals provide only a small proportion (5%) of the average adult daily intake of added sugars in the diet. This compares with 37% from drinks, 32% from sugar, preserves and confectionary and 14% from other cereal products such as bread, biscuits or cakes.
Breakfast cereal manufacturers are still finding ways to reduce the sugar content, particularly where higher levels of sugar currently exist, but it is important to do that without compromising on taste. Several brands have introduced low-added sugar ranges alongside standard brands and many of these have been available for a number of years.

Fat

Some kind of fat is important in the diet for health, and is particularly necessary for growing, active children. Fat is a rich source of food energy but it is also needed to provide the body with essential fatty acids and to enable the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins E and A. For adults and children above the age of five years it recommended that fat should generally provide no more than 35% of the daily energy intake. Diets containing higher proportions of fat are more likely to result in the over consumption of food energy, which if not matched by increased energy expenditure results in the deposition of body fat leading to overweigh, in the long-term.

Most of breakfast cereals are low in fat, on average containing between 2-4% fat. As a rule a cereal breakfast will provide fewer calories than a cooked breakfast and this contributes towards helping keep up a healthy weight.

It is also the type of fat consumed that is of importance. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids help to reduce the risk of heart disease and the fats found in the vast majority of breakfast cereals are naturally high in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Breakfast cereals containing nuts (e.g. muesli) have a higher fat content but this is mainly provided by the healthier monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The consumption of breakfast cereals with semi-skimmed or skimmed milk is helpful in accomplishment the goal of a diet low in saturated fatty acid and trans fatty acids.
