A person should always try to eat breakfast as soon as possible after waking up, as blood sugar levels may have dropped during the night.

It is advisable to limit intake of fruit juices in the morning and stick to juices that do not have added sugar, as these may cause blood sugar levels to become unstable.

Some ideal breakfast choices include:

• hard-boiled eggs and whole-grain toast
• oatmeal with berries, sunflower seeds, agave, and cinnamon
• greek yogurt with berries, honey, and oatmeal

Cinnamon is thought to help reduce blood sugar levels and can be sprinkled on many breakfast foods.
