A Good Cup Of Coffee, My Breakfast Buddy

By Tiara Bell


Breakfast will never be complete without a cup of coffee using a Delonghi espresso machine or any coffee maker brand. However, with the fast paced world we now have, it is really not surprising that many of us skips our breakfast and only have their coffee which lead to high level of food related illnesses. It is true that coffee provides a number of benefits yet it is still important that one eats a proper breakfast as it also proven that breakfast is the most important meal in a day.

As was aforementioned, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is such as it will dictate what one's energy and hunger levels are going to be for the rest of the day. Also, eating breakfast will help one achieve their health goals. These goals include re-energizing, beating the bloat, fixing the blood sugar, and burning extra fat. A healthy breakfast allows people to achieve these goals by helping the body boost its metabolism.

Other than coffee created using coffee makers like the Delonghi espresso machine, a complete and diversified breakfast should include food rich in calories, protein, calcium, potassium, and fiber. Protein sources which are great for breakfast are egg whites, cottage cheese, yogurts, and nuts. Fruits on the other hand are the best source of fiber and good carbs. Having a breakfast with high water content other than coffee is also very important as dehydration usually happens when we sleep, thus, we need to rehydrate in the morning. The body also becomes contracted while we sleep which makes it the more important for us to have a more expansive meal.

Coffee can always be included on one's breakfast meals, as was abovementioned. This is so as many health benefits can be derived from drinking coffee. First among these is the reduction on the risk of suicide among coffee lovers. Also, coffee has been proven to help protect one from Parkinson's as well as cirrhosis of the liver as reported by the Archives of Neurology and Archives of Internal Medicine, respectively. The risks of acquiring type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease can also be reduced by drinking a cup of coffee.

Coffee which may be prepared using a Delonghi espresso maker is often downed by most people during breakfasts. But why? Surveys have been conducted asking people why they often drink their cups of coffee in the morning. Among the most popular answers from these surveys are increased alertness and habitual behavior. Many people answered that drinking their cup of coffee in the morning allows them to be awake for the duration of the day-i.e., their alertness is increased when they drink coffee. Others, on the other hand, reasoned that drinking coffee in the morning is simply a habitual behavior-a practice that has been incorporated in most cultures.

The foundation of a successful day and long term fitness is a healthy breakfast. As such, it is must to carefully select the food that one should include in his/her breakfast meal. As was stated, coffee whether instant or prepared using a machine like a Delonghi espresso machine, with its numerous health benefits can be a great inclusion in a breakfast meal. Nonetheless, it is not enough to make a breakfast meal healthy. Instead, it should be incorporated with other healthy breakfast food.
