Many health and dietary experts all around the world argue that breakfast is by far the most important meal of the day, essential for providing you with a boost of energy and nutrition before you start your day. However, for the most part, modern cereals seem to lack the types and quantities of nutrients that our bodies require. Furthermore, the types of energy given to us by modern cereals are not only the wrong quantities of the wrong type of energy, but they are also extremely bad for us in the short and long run.

There are three types of energy that our body needs to function fully:

1.   Fast energy – released in the small bowel. Provides immediate power and optimum nutrition for the brain, nervous system and organ functions.
2.   Long-lasting sustainable energy (slow energy)– progressively released in the small intestine. For stamina, fitness, endurance and a feeling of satiation for long hours.
3.   Prebiotic energy – released in the colon. Keeps you fit and active by improving organ functions, supporting fat burning and stimulating the fatty acids production.

Unfortunately, many modern cereals only provide us with fast energy, meaning that we feel huge peaks in energy for short periods of time after eating, followed by longer feelings of drowsiness and low energy. Furthermore, continually consuming modern cereals means each day your body goes through cycles of extreme low and high energy, with random spikes throughout the day, rather than maintaining consistent energy as your body requires. This is terrible for your digestive and other organ systems, including your mental and overall physical health.

Fortunately, there is an amazing alternative to many of the products used in many modern cereals, and it comes in the form of Teff grains from TeffLand. Teff grains are ancient grains that have a wide variety of different benefits, especially when compared to the flours and grains used in most modern cereals and baked goods.

Firstly, Teff grains provide us with all three of the types of energy mentioned before, meaning that it leaves our body feeling nourished thoroughly, as well as helping us to feel energized throughout the entire day, whilst still enjoying various peaks of extreme high energy throughout the day, just without the huge drops afterwards.

Teff grains also contain lots of essential nutrients, including complex carbohydrates (over 80% of the carbohydrates in Teff grains are complex), proteins, vitamins and fibers. All these combined helps to promote growth and regeneration of your muscles, bones, tissue and organ systems, which massively improves your overall health. This massive influx of nutrients provided by Teff grains also helps with the elimination of mutagenic or carcinogenic cells through the boosting of your natural correcting system.

Overall, the use of Teff grains in modern cereals can potentially revolutionize our breakfast and our days, filling them with energy and ensuring that our bodies are fully satiated in terms of nutrition. Teff removes the dangers and downsides we get from eating modern cereals and has the potential to make breakfast cereals what they once were, the best and most important meal of your day.
