Bacon for Breakfast
Love bacon for breakfast? For many years, bacon had a terrible reputation as a breakfast food, or an anytime food for that matter, due to stories about its extremely high fat content and it’s artery-clogging, salty goodness.
These days, health and nutrition experts are singing a different tune and research has found that there are a wide variety of reasons that bacon is actually a dynamic and nutritional powerhouse; combining this with the fact that it’s readily available and the family loves it means that bacon for breakfast is not only good for the taste buds, it’s good for the rest of you too!
Recently, there have been many interesting findings that contradict the health concerns of bacon that were popularly touted over the past several years:
Protein-Packed
Scientists have found that bacon protein is highly instrumental in helping the human body to maintain energy and reach peak performance; with its minimal amount of carbohydrates, it qualifies as a tasty way to stay lean while giving your body a protein-packed punch!
Metabolic Boost
Bacon’s deliciously high-protein/low carb combination also goes a long way toward helping to satiate the appetite while boosting the metabolism and helping the body form lean, strong muscle; as if that weren’t enough great news, experts recently advised that bacon has less saturated fat and cholesterol than many beef and chicken products while containing less toxins than foods that were long thought to be a healthier alternative, such as fish.
Blood Sugar Balance
Researchers have also discovered that when consumed in moderation, bacon can actually help to balance the blood sugar and lower blood pressure, helping to protect against diabetes, heart disease, stroke and heart attack.
Given that bacon has been somewhat slammed over the past couple of decades for being a patently unhealthy choice, bacon lovers everywhere are thrilled to hear that the latest research actually encourages bacon in moderation.
In fact, bacon is also being touted as a fantastic source of daily vitamins and nutrients, containing approximately 65% of our Recommended Daily Intake of Thiamin (Vitamin B1), as well as significant amounts of Iron, Zinc, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and a variety of others.
As an added bonus, bacon contains the nutrient choline, which aids in enhancing intelligence and memory as well as fighting a variety of mentally debilitating illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease.
So go ahead and enjoy that bacon sandwich for breakfast, you’ll be doing yourself a favor; as with any other meat product, be sure to choose only those that come from cruelty-free and sustainable farms, avoid the use of growth hormones and other chemicals and you’ll enjoy the natural health benefits of this tasty and wonderful food!
