First Breakfast, Then Go Sporting

It is no myth or wives tale, breakfast is in fact the most important meal of the day and the way you should fuel for all your physical activity. So before you head out the door for your morning run (like I always used to do!) or bike around town, you should start each and every day with a healthy breakfast. Some people are split on when exactly active individuals should eat breakfast, but research shows that eating first and then sporting may be best for your body. If you want to have the fuel required to be an athlete in peak condition, you need to make breakfast a priority every morning before you partake in your sport of choice. It doesn’t matter if you are a pro or simply trying to have fun, a balanced breakfast can give you an edge and help kick your athletic performance up a notch.

Manage Hunger Through the Day

When you are active, you need to consume more calories each day to give your body the energy it needs. This means that you can’t afford to skip out on breakfast. There is even a bit of physiology connected to the importance of this morning meal. Research shows that eating breakfast will keep your body from bottoming out and getting too hungry. If you start the day off on the right foot with a great breakfast, you will likely feel better and be able to work out more effectively. Eating breakfast kind of gives your body a guarantee that it will get the daily nutrients it requires to perform at a high level.

What Should You Eat?

If you want to make the most out of your morning meal before you tackle your sport of choice, you need to watch what you eat. Not every food is ideal to consume right before physical activity. As long as you are eating healthy breakfast food options, you can be guaranteed to feel your best during your exercise. Some of the best breakfast foods for sport enthusiasts include eggs, whole grain toast, milk, nuts and seeds, apples and peanut butter or even a bowl of oatmeal. The amount of calories in your morning meal can range, but it is a good idea to get at least 500 calories in, if possible. Since it is such an important meal you need to make it count and eat the right foods. The right nutrients will give you the fuel your body desires most.

A Matter of Preference

When it comes down to it, eating breakfast before or after you go sporting is all a matter of preference. However, if you want to be your best and perform your sport at the highest level, you really should think about starting your day off right with a wholesome breakfast. A breakfast of champions can be the way to get your body in the best shape and help you fight hunger throughout the day. Breakfast really is the most important meal that you can’t afford to skip out on.

My New Braun 799cc Shaver

A few month ago, I wrote a post about manual and electric shavers. I've made my decision and bought a Braun 799cc. This is a so-called wet&dry shaver!

If you have ever used a Braun Series 7 shaver, then you can gauge what you should be expecting from the new Braun 799cc model. Except that you get a little more, both a pleasant surprise and more value for your money. When my new Braun 799cc shaver came in, I was expecting all that Series 7 had to offer but at a much more state of the art level and I was not disappointed.

Let me begin with the design, rather the look of this gadget. The Braun 799cc shaver is by all means a gadget and not just any random shaver. The construction is sleek; it looks classy and yet has all the cool buttons which bring in a horde of functionality. But that is not what will surprise you since you would expect those at the bucks you are shelling out.

What will impress you right at the start is the luxury of a dry as well as a wet shave. If you ask Braun fans, then you would know that most of them have been looking for a dry and wet shaver for some time now. The Braun 790cc was a great shaver but it still lacked the wet shaving feature. Many men prefer the soft feel and the lustrous shave that one gets with some gel or foam. That was not a possibility with erstwhile Braun shavers and many men preferred to go with other brands for the very same reason. But the finesse that Braun shavers come with is seldom matched. The smoothness of shaving, the ease of cleaning, the comfort and the impeccable efficiency of Braun 799cc shaver doesn’t come as a surprise but the wet shaving feature certainly is a feather on the cap.

There are many other reasons to like my new Braun 799cc shaver. It has a very small head, considerably smaller than its competition and that its preceding models which allow greater manoeuvrability and you can actually see where you are shaving since the place is not concealed by the large heads as is the case with most shavers. The cleaning system of the Braun 799cc shaver is extremely useful. Not only is the shaver cleaned well but it is also sanitized with alcohol instead of soap or water based substances that are found in cleansers or cleaning systems of other shavers. It is owing to this cleaning feature that the Braun 799cc has a much more pleasant smell. There is an automatic cleaning function as well which is quite short. Ditto for the charging time. The cartridge in the Braun 799cc too lasts long than shavers in similar price range. This makes the device more cost effective in the long run.

In a nutshell, my new Braun 799cc shaver is a great investment. It is comfortably portable and quite sturdy to resist wear and tear as well as falls. It is great value for money and certainly one of the best to roll out from the Braun stable.
