Breakfast is often termed as the ‘most important meal of the day by nutritionists. This is also the best way to fuel ourselves up for the day ahead. Breakfast as the name suggests also breaks our overnight fasting period and it’s only right that it should have all the important food groups like dairy, nuts, fruits and proteins among other things. It also plays a vital role in our alertness and energy level for the day and having a perfect first meal can go a long way to making a great difference in our day to day life.
And, according to Ayurveda expert Dr Dixa Bhavsar, including soaked almonds and raisins in your breakfast can give you the perfect start.
