| Photo Source Love a nice cup of Joe with that big Sunday breakfast? According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, it might be bad for you. The study found that when healthy people ate a meal high in saturated fat and had two cups of coffee their blood sugar increased 65% in response to their next meal. The mixture of fat and caffeine has a lasting effect on the way in which your body metabolizes sugar, making your body less able to use it for energy. The result....you feel tired. The best choices for a healthy breakfast with your morning brew... High-fiber, low-fat meals! Source: Redbook Magazine |

If you are going to have coffee with that type of meal, make sure that you have some cinnamon. After reading studies like this http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14633804
I started using cinnamon daily and my blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides improved dramatically in a matter of months!
Cool tip, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing ( and for stopping by)!
