Health Talks with MediCard: What happens after eating a healthy breakfast

We often hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, do you know what happens to your body after eating a healthy breakfast? Aside from improving your overall heath, eating a healthy morning meal helps you to focus, to make smart decisions and satisfies your appetite to help you avoid overeating later in the day. 
“The literal meaning of breakfast is really breaking the fasting period of the night before. The span of time between your dinner and your next meal is long, perhaps 7 to 8 hours. That’s why it’s important to eat breakfast within 2 hours of waking up. In addition to starvation and low-energy levels, skipping breakfast can also make you binge and snack excessively later in the day, which can lead to other serious health problems like obesity, ” said Dr. Nicky Montoya, president and CEO of MediCard. 
Here are more reasons why you shouldn’t skip breakfast:
  • It improves memory and concentration. Eating a healthy breakfast boosts your memory and concentration, especially at work and at school. According to research, eating breakfast leads to better cognitive performance, helping you concentrate more. It also restores glucose levels. Glucose is an important carbohydrate that is needed for the brain to function properly. “A healthy breakfast helps you have better coordination and problem-solving skills,” says Dr. Montoya.
  • It keeps you energized. Breakfast is the perfect time to fuel your body with vitamins and nutrients to keep you energized through the day. Keeping your energy levels high will help you accomplish all your responsibilities efficiently and eating a nutritious breakfast is essential for this. Try having eggs, yogurt, cereal or fruits in the morning.
  • It helps lower cholesterol levels. Studies show that people who skip breakfast are more likely to have worse cholesterol levels and insulin sensitivity than breakfast eaters. This is because eating nutritious foods for breakfast helps you eat smaller meals and avoid fatty food throughout the day.
  • It boosts metabolism and controls weight. While you sleep, your metabolism slows down and burns less calories. A great way to kick start your metabolism is by having a healthy breakfast to allow your body to start burning calories as soon as you start your day. In addition to faster metabolism, eating breakfast also helps you control your weight. When you consume high-protein meals during breakfast, you will feel fuller, hence, avoiding overeating later in the day. Just make sure that your breakfast is loaded with nutrients and not with fat and empty calories. 
  • It puts you in a positive mood. Sleeping for 8 hours or so usually mean that you’re starving when you wake up. Starvation can really put you in a bad mood. That can be easily dealt with by eating a healthy breakfast. Dr. Montoya recommends having mood-boosting food for breakfast like berries (e.g. blueberries or strawberries), whole wheat pancakes and a banana smoothie with nuts and flaxseed.
For more nutrition advice, make an appointment with your doctor or nutritionist.

Kojie.san and the Buncio Sisters Renew Sponsorship Contract

Last April 27, Beauty Elements Ventures Inc. under the brand name Kojie.San renewed their sponsorship contract with Jacquelyn and Lourdes also known as the “Buncio Sisters”.

These two brave and daring girls are the siblings of Maico Greg Buncio, the 2011 Golden Wheel Awards' Driver of the Year, and a four-time Philippine national superbike champion. As athletes who are into a male-dominated sport such as motorcycle racing, Kojie.San sees them as bearers of women empowerment, an advocacy which their brand celebrate and carries along, too.

It was last year when the Buncio sisters initially signed up with Kojie.San for their sponsorship as women riders and motorcycle racing enthusiasts. With Jacq Buncio being able to finish the Philippine Superbike Championship-Pirelli Cup first and Des Buncio racing for the Lightweight Class, it goes to show that this tandem surely embodies the courage and strength that not every woman could exemplify.

Kojie.San, a brand we all know as a skin and beauty care specialist, is established as a homegrown name with products for women. On choosing the Buncio sisters, Ms. Sheena Labor, Brand Manager of Kojie.San Sunblock implies a point on this partnership.

"What we aim for is to empower more Filipino women in a field mostly dominated by men," says Ms. Sheena. Though motorbike racing isn't that as famous as basketball or volleyball in the Philippines, together with Kojie.san, they could raise awareness on how women could also do what men do, or even surpass their works. They too also represent the millennials today who are bound to be brave and limitless, like the Buncio sisters.

In the same way, not only the Buncio sisters or women could be related to Kojie.San because they've got Kojie.San Men too, which protects and empowers men on outdoor activities such as motorbike racing.


The contract signing was held at the 4/F, Conference room of Beauty Elements Ventures Inc. in Makati City.
