The first meal of the day can make you feel energized and upbeat for the rest of the day. But did you know it can also help protect your oral health?
Healthy breakfast foods help activate your metabolism and provide various vitamins and minerals. In turn, they keep the body healthy and your teeth.
Many people skip breakfast altogether, others have run out of ideas. For all of them, we’ve lined up a few easy breakfast ideas for a healthier smile and a healthier life:
Eggs are no doubt a great protein source, and people can and should have eggs for breakfast every day. Depending on your preferences, you can have hard-boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, or any other form of eggs you fancy.
Eggs are full of phosphorus, vitamin D, and vitamin K, all of which can help you maintain your dental health and your smile.
Dairy is filled with calcium and having dairy for breakfast can help you have strong bones and teeth. Dairy also helps maintain the pH balance of the mouth.
With dairy, you get a lot of great breakfast options. You can drink a glass of milk or add it to your cereal, have a butter sandwich, or yogurt. Cheese is also an excellent choice with probiotic benefits.
Are you looking for something conveniently quick and also tasty? Why not try making smoothies at home? Use dairy like milk and yogurt, fresh or frozen fruit, veggies like kale or spinach, and even chocolate or vanilla if you enjoy sweeter drinks.
If you love cereal, pancakes, waffles, bagels, etc., you must be a fan of whole grains. However, not all cereal is the same. Many types of breakfast cereal come with refined carbs, so it's essential to read the label first.
All-natural whole-grain cereal or multigrain oats are a great choice and you can also add a little sweet topping like honey to them.
Apples are a great source of vitamins that help cleanse the mouth and maintain a healthy smile. Berries are another perfect choice for breakfast as they are packed with nutrients.
If on top of fruit you also love nuts, you can mix them up and serve them for breakfast or add them as toppings to your oatmeal or cereal.
It's essential to have healthy breakfasts to promote oral health. Therefore, you should make sure your breakfast choices include nutritious foods that can help maintain your healthy smile.
