Breakfast five a day electrolyts and hydration preparing maintaining, recovering, replenishing .

StUrungusPolyp

Breakfast

 Eating a variety of cereals is good for most people, a bowl of porridge oats should be kept at a distance from a bowl of wheat and to help all of it work try eating a bowl of all bran once per week.

 1. All bran

 2. Porridge oats

 3. Rice crispies

 4. Shreddied wheat

 5. Corn flakes

 6. Multigrain hoops

 7. Corn flakes or rice crispies

 I don't have any fruit with my breakfasts just one bowl of cereal and semi skimmed milk with a drink of water. After about 1hrs30mins I either eat some fruit with a handfull of nuts or I take a SiS hydro GO Electrolyte drink a full 500ml and wait for at least a further 30mins. I am quite an active person and if my electrolyts drop I become unwell, one drink of the SiS early in the day whilst resting to keep levels up is OK for me, then after that I make sure I have one portion of fruit 30mins before my lunch which will have one portion of veg or salad with and a another portion of fruit with my evening meal where I make sure i have two portions of vegetables. I also make sure to drink a pint of water with every meal I have.

The best way of making sure you get your 5 a day is to eat one portion of fruit 30 minuets before dinner and have one portion of salad or vegatables with the meal, then for your evening meal have another portion of fruit 30 minuets before and two portions of veg with the meal was down each meal with a drink of water. 

PS electrolyte solutions vary and not all are suitable for average daily activities, and even the ones that are work very differently if drank all in one go whilst sitting still and resting or taken whilst moving around, if your electrolytes are low and you sip them whilst walking or running they your brain and body wont work as well during the exercise and your electrolyte levels will be corrected by the end ofvthe activity rather than at good level at the start and the exercise depleting them which is how it should work, so I am drinking one early in the day and allowing it to work and replenish me body after a few days if I eat correctly and drink enough water ( I have a pint with my meals ) I will be physically able to begin some exercise, and when they are at a suitable level then I can have a little extra during the exercise so that I maintain levels and protect my bodey and brain during the activity. It doesn't feel very nice when replenishing electrolytes whilst resting especially in the early stages of the process but it helps.

  • I eat lots of differnt foods to much wheat bran sets off IBS for me, I eat other sorts of soluable fibre.

    I'm not a fan of breakfast cereals, most of them are to sweet for me. 

    I can't eat much for breakfast, the idea of a "full English" fills me with horror, that much food so early in the day. For me breakfast is coffee, lots of black coffee, orange juice and either peanut butter or jam on toast, the bread is always home made and the peanut butter made only from peanuts with no additives.

    That's becaue you are dairy intolerant I believe, cereals work very well with milk for breakfast one without the other doesn't work so well and I imagine it has a huge knock on effect for you and your diet, it must be very difficult for you especially as most people don't have any insight into how dairy intolerance affects everything in diet and how diet is the most important.ghi g for  person, like they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You must struggle a great deal, not having dairy in your diet would effect how your body can tolerate medications,.it must be devastating.

    There are plenty of non dairy milks available, I'm just not a fan of cereal.

    I think we all have slightly different metabolisms, I'm fairly fit and healthy, my doctors are happy with my diet and lifestyle. There are inherited factors in things like IBS and diverticulitis, my Dad had both, so it's possible I inheritied his tendencies towards it.

    I do miss dairy foods, not milk so much, but cheese I used to love cheese, I miss the ease of eating out, I can't even have an ice cream because it's dairy. But I live well, I cook, nearly all my own food from scratch, I've cooked veggie food for meat eaters who've only realised it's veggie when they see me eating it too and they've loved it.
