Much conflicting opinions among experts are exactly what is a healthy breakfast. According to some, it must be minimal and very light (eg green tea with honey or some nuts), and to others – quite heavy. The results of some recent studies show that people who after waking up does not take any food, have a slow metabolism, lower blood sugar, with reduced attention and impaired memory. The ideal time for breakfast is between 7 and 9:00. In various parts of the world since its content is quite different. French breakfast (often it is called Continental) consists of a croissant, egg, orange juice, jam and coffee. Turkish breakfast is bread with sheep’s cheese, olives and coffee, the English did is rich in fat – scrambled eggs with bacon, sausage and vegetables. The calorific value of the national breakfast depends on climate (the colder it is, a filling must be morning meal). Available products are also important.
