Breakfast
This idea of breakfast. Is it important as a lifestyle behavior for the average diet?
Interesting term, breakfast. Literally it means to "break the fast", implying that there has actually been some fasting going on over night. It also implies that the term does not necessarily conjure up the notion that it is something done in the hours of the morning.
From an energy science nutritional view breakfast, particularly for Kapha mindbody constitution, should be a piece of fruit. You know, something very simple but avoiding dairy, keeping in touch with the nutritional format for PK (see foodsheal.com). Dairy is in general a poor food choice for Kapha. And poor food combinations suggests that fruit should not be used with other foods. More about that on a another post.
Another important energy science nutritional fact is that between 6 and 10am is a Kapha time, that is, a slow metabolic time for the mindbody physiology.The matter science nutritional information has little to say about this very important fact.
So you can see that eating breakfast for a Kapha energy pattern is a energy time bomb. Parking a large volume of food that is imbalancing for Kapha with poor food combinations in a low metabolic time zone is a recipe for overweight.
So the best time of day for the biggest meal of the day when our digestive fire is ready for the experience of food is 10am to 2pm.
