Start your day on a wholesome note: a list of healthy organic breakfast options to choose from

‘Breakfast like a king!’ You probably hear this refrain often, and rightly so. Eating a wholesome breakfast is widely acknowledged as an essential part of staying fit and healthy.
A breakfast that’s rich in nutrients helps you start the day on a lively and energetic note while also setting the tone for the rest of the day. It’s the one meal of the day that you would do well not to miss out on. 

While there are many healthy breakfast options to choose from, incorporating organic foods into your breakfast can result in even greater health benefits. 

Here’s a look at why organic ingredients tend to be better than conventional ingredients:

1. An organic breakfast is typically made of whole, nutrient-dense ingredients that are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

2. Organic ingredients are grown sustainably without the use of chemicals and pesticides, prolonged exposure to which could be detrimental to our health. 

3. Organic ingredients are free of growth hormones and antibiotics, which helps reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance and helps promote overall health and wellness.

4. Ingredients that go into some of the best organic breakfast options tend to be fresher, more flavorful and have better overall texture compared to conventionally grown ingredients. 

Switching to an organic breakfast comes with a number of health benefits:

• It helps boost your energy levels.

• It helps regulate your metabolism and keeps you feeling full for longer.

• It keeps your heart healthy.
