What if you are told that the best thing you can do to preserve the prominence of breakfast is to include cornflakes in it? Yes, you read it right: your favorite cereal — cornflakes — is the winner. Packed with the goodness of protein, fiber, and added nutrients, consuming cornflakes every day is a healthy choice. Amarnath Halember, Executive Director and CEO of NextG Apex India Pvt. Ltd. shares ten reasons why you should pick cornflakes for your daily breakfast and fall in love with this cereal all over again.

• Ready to consume: There is no denying that cornflakes are one of the quickest meals to prepare. Ready to consume in less than a minute, it energizes you for the day. It is a must-have in the kitchen cabinets of people on the go who have little time to spare to prepare time-taking meals.
• Keeps you full for longer: Another reason to make pals with cornflakes is that they are fulfilling. Add some fruits and they make the best breakfast meal. This translates into reduced episodes of cravings to munch on junk food later in the day. Consuming nutritional food at the start of the day can save you from a lot of stomach disorders and encourage you in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
• Helps in weight loss: If you are on your fitness journey and want to shed off those extra kilograms, taking cornflakes regularly will only ease the process as they are low in calories. Choose to skip the sugar and enjoy the wholesome meal as is.
• Good for eye health: Cornflakes fall under the category of fortified cereal, which contains added vitamins and minerals that are not naturally present in them. This ensures that nutrient intake is enhanced. Vitamin A, B vitamins, and lutein in cornflakes keep the eyes in good shape.
• Cares for your heart: It has zero cholesterol, thus a piece of good news for your heart health. This is undoubtedly a better option than consuming unhealthy foods containing trans fats that raise the bad cholesterol in the body. Needless to mention that high levels of cholesterol are linked to various diseases of the heart.
• Keeps the tummy happy: As cornflakes are abundant in fiber, they keep bowel movements regular. We all can agree on how a happy tummy affects our efficiency in performing everyday tasks. Consuming cornflakes daily keeps digestive issues, such as constipation, at bay.
• Keeps you active all day: Proteins are the building block of our body. This means that they are responsible for a gamut of functions ranging from enhancing immunity to body repair and regulating hormonal functions. Rich in proteins, its efficacy is only enhanced when consumed with milk which adds to the extra source of protein.
• Maintains iron content in the blood: Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the body. Iron deficiency can result in anemia. Kudos to fortified cornflakes that fulfill this bodily need and therefore maintain iron levels in your body.
• Blood pressure-friendly: Unlike fast foods and processed and frozen meals that are brimming with sodium and cause devastating impacts on your health, cornflakes are low in sodium. This means that they do not elevate your blood pressure and present no risk to your vital organs.
• Something for the lungs too: Corns are a reservoir of antioxidants called carotenoids. Besides benefitting overall health, these are found to contribute to improved lung function.
