Life longevity is a mystery no one yet can decipher themselves, but a good breakfast is that first step.

It is known that a day begun with a substantial meal most likely leads to a healthy weight and better blood sugar levels.

A recommendation of five different foods to start your day with by professional dieticians, has proven to contribute immesely to lengthy life longetivity. These foods include the following:

Eggs

In this book, ‘Eat Better Live Longer’ it is written:

“These powerhouses are packed with nutrients linked to good health and the prevention of many age-related disease.

“Their positive effects on weight loss, memory, and eye and bone health mean that eggs are a great protein food to put on your menu.”

Eating around six eggs a week is the recommendation, whether it’s hen eggs, quail eggs or duck eggs.

Bananas

Whether slightly green or freckly, bananas come with triple levels of mood-boosting powers, according to experts.

“They are good sources of carbohydrates (fuel for the brain and muscles), and of tryptophan and vitamin B6 (both of which are needed for production of feel-good chemicals).

“What’s more, bananas improve digestion and may help regulate blood pressure.”

You should enjoy three to four bananas a week.

Berries

“All berries are good for you - the vibrant blues, purples, and reds of this supergroup are an indication that they are packed with damage-fighting antioxidants.

“But not all berries are created equal - some are better than others when it comes to longevity.”

The best berries are blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and strawberries, and you should eat a couple of handfuls three to four times a week.

Yoghurt

“Packed with gut-friendly probiotics as well as protein, calcium, and phosphorus, yoghurt’s longevity benefits lie in its protective powers.

“Studies have shown that yoghurt can help counter many of the health problems associated with getting older, such as high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and unwanted weight gain.”

Studies suggest one small pot a day offer the greatest health benefits.

Wholegrains

Wholegrains are true all-rounders when it comes to their health benefits.

They have positive effect on the circulatory, digestive, and immune systems and reducing age-related diseases.

“Switching from refined grains to wholegrain is a simple but powerful step to better health and a longer life,”.

Wholegrains are vital to the body so should be eaten every day.

You should aim to eat three servings a day, for example one medium slice of wholegrain bread, one small wholewheat tortilla, two oatcakes, three tablespoons of wholegrain breakfast cereal, and two heaps tablespoons of cooked brown or wild rice.
