Many people eat whatever they like for breakfast, but eating without a thought is dangerous for health. According to experts, breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, because after a night's sleep the body needs nutrition in the morning, and nutritious food can supply it.

Many doctors now give health advice through videos and posts on social media. Dr Shriram Nene, husband of the famous Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, is very active there too and shares health tips from time to time.

In a recent post he said which foods should be avoided at breakfast. In his view, white bread, sweetened yoghurt, fruit juice, processed meat and sugary foods should not be eaten at breakfast at all. In an earlier post he said sprouts, dairy products, fruit and vegetables should be included in the morning.

According to reports, white bread is processed with low-quality carbohydrates, which raise blood sugar. Eating too much white bread can raise the risk of obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

The natural sugar in yoghurt is healthy, but flavoured yoghurt contains added sugar. So sweetened yoghurt should be avoided at breakfast, as it can cause weight gain and raise the risk of type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer.

Many nutrients are lost when fruit is made into juice, and drinking juice also puts free sugar into the body, which people are advised to avoid. Drinking fruit juice can lead to weight gain.

Processed meat should be avoided at breakfast, as it can raise the risk of stomach and colorectal cancer. Processed meat can also raise the risk of diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
