If you have a busy workday ahead of you that requires both physical and mental strength, doctors recommend a traditional breakfast like bacon and eggs.
"Not everyone has the same energy needs, nor the same work tasks. Eggs and bacon are a nutritionally rich breakfast, but they are also higher in calories than oatmeal, so recommendations are always individual," said Dr. Magdalena Vujović from the Institute of Public Health on "Colors of Morning" on Vijesti Television.
The method of food preparation plays a significant role in the nutritional value of a meal.
"For example, preparing eggs over low heat or frying bacon can significantly affect the number of calories and fat content in a meal," Vujović pointed out.
She points out that bacon is recognized as a good nutrient, rich in selenium and B-complex vitamins, but it must be consumed in moderation, and is recommended only during the winter months.
However, a traditional breakfast is not recommended for people with cardiovascular problems, high cholesterol, or lipid status disorders.
Vujović also emphasizes the benefits of oatmeal and other cereals, which are extremely suitable for people who want to lose weight, because they coat the stomach and stimulate digestion.
"Oatmeal, especially when prepared at lower temperatures, creates a biofilm in the digestive tract, which contributes to better digestion and stabilization of blood glucose levels," Dr. Vujović pointed out.
According to a survey conducted via the Megafon interactive app, the majority of viewers (82%) chose a traditional breakfast with eggs and bacon, while 18% believe that the ideal breakfast is oatmeal.
