Working with corporate clients and knowing the type of energy and mental focus that goes into each day, I always stress the importance of balanced breakfast. For most people, starting the day with a high carbohydrate meal is standard - muesli, toast, breakfast cereal etc. Such breakfasts are promoted due to the belief that starting your day with high carbohydrates results in high energy. Presuming that you are opting for sustained energy throughout the day, most of these choices are not ideal. It is hardly surprising that after consuming a breakfast of high GI carbohydrates most people turn straight to caffeine - your blood sugar is crashing because of the insulin rush. Spiking blood sugar and insulin with high GI carbohydrates first thing in the morning is exactly what NOT to do when working towards a better body composition and sustained energy.

Regular ingestion of fluids is essential for the human body to function. The average sedentary adult should aim to consume two or more litres of water per day. Roughly 80% of the fluids the body needs to consume come from liquids ingested, whilst the other 15-20% of fluids comes from the foods that we eat. Alternatively, throughout the day the body loses fluids as a result of bodily functions such as sweating, breathing and urination. It is important for us to replace fluids lost throughout the day by consuming external fluid sources to keep internal body processes performing at an optimum level and not to disturb the balance maintained inside the body.
