Eggnog for Weight Control

Are you overweight? Are you underweight? Everyone has a diet issue. Our media portrays men and women as these body perfect images that we should strive to look like. Well, most of us do not have personal trainers or eight hours a day to put into shaping our perfect bodies. We are stuck with what DNA and our eating habits have dealt us. No matter what the control problem issue is we do need to take good nutrition as a key to what we eat. Good nutrition keeps us active and healthy and poor nutrition drives us to being tired and ill. Eggnog is one of the easiest and safest ways to supply needed vitamins, minerals, and protein to our diets and its recipes can be altered to fit the needs of the individual.



Eggnog contains a tremendous amount of vitamins such as Vitamin A and B12, is a natural source of D. It is high in protein and contains a wealth of calcium. By making homemade eggnog you create this creamy nutrtious food source and can keep available for you and your families use. A quick glass for breakfast will help send you out the door ready for an active day and you won't find yourself needing a candy bar half way through the morning because your energy is lagging.



I looked at low fat breakfast foods and found that a majority of them were high in sodium. Our over use of salt is a concern because it can contribute to high blood pressure which might lead to a heart attack. As I am getting older being slightly overweight and having high blood pressure most of the low fat breakfast foods were not a good alternative for me. By changing eggnog recipes low fat milk and sugar substitutes and then blending the results with fresh berries in the morning I had an easily fixed solution. I am losing weight and my blood pressure is down.



Friends tell me that their teenage daughters will grab a glass of eggnog for breakfast before they dart out the door in the morning. They are delighted to know that their children are starting the day in a healthy way.
