As the most important meal of the day, breakfast should not be skipped. You’ve starved your body all night while sleeping and need to nourish it right away. Starting with a healthy, low-cholesterol meal will set the tone for your day and give you the energy you need to stay refreshed and alert. 

Especially at this time of the year, you hear much about dieting. People packed on the pounds during the holidays and are trying to rid themselves of the extra weight. Whether it’s for a New Year’s resolution or just a desire to be healthier, many search for the proper diet and try out all kinds.

With high-calorie/high-cholesterol egg nog flowing at holiday parties, fried finger foods at family gatherings, and gravy flowing on the mashed potatoes and turkey, keeping your weight off during the days between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day can be quite difficult—which is probably an understatement.
