Many choose readymade cereal for breakfast due to lack of time.

The nutritionist explains, "Tea and coffee contain caffeine that triggers the release of cortisol (stress hormone) and puts the body in a stress mode. When you wake up, your body needs time to get back to functioning in full capacity. In such a situation, it is better to eat real food instead of something that can further stress it out."

If you love drinking teas, try herbal teas within 30 minutes of waking up. You can also choose shakes, smoothies or protein shakes for breakfast. Avoid drinking packed juices.
