They weren’t joking when they said breakfast was the most important meal of the day. In fact, the name, as it suggests, is “breaking the involuntary fast of sleep” and is the first meal after waking up.

However, it is probably the most often skipped meal, since mornings can be chaotic and taxing, especially when there are children to send off to school and parents have to get to work on time. So, breakfast becomes a grab and go situation.

While having something to eat in the morning is better than having nothing at all, you still have to be conscious of what you eat. Having foods that are high in calories, sugar and fat, like donuts or pastries, will probably give you a burst of energy that will quickly dissipate. And, you definitely won’t feel satisfied for long.

Though some believe that man shall not live by bread alone, others believe that bread is life, and despite the recent “carbo-phobia” bread is still an integral and nutritious part of our diet.

Can you believe it that up to a few decades ago, brown bread was considered inferior to the white variety. However, if you are keeping up, you’ll notice that the roles have been reversed and brown bread rich in nutrients, is the preferred staple on the tables.

Of course the most naturally nutritious bread is made from wholewheat grain, which makes many brown breads. White bread on the other hand is made from the inner part of the grain only as the husk is removed. This causes the white bread to be much lower in fibre, protein and vitamins. Don’t be fooled by brown breads as they are not all created equal. Some brown breads are not made with wholewheat and thus have the same nutritional value as white bread.

Here’s how to select healthy breads:

Check out the ingredients list. If the first ingredient is “whole grain” or “stone ground” rather than “enriched” you are on the right track. In fact looking for 100% wholewheat or 100% whole grain is even better.

Select breads with natural sweeteners like molasses or honey over high fructose corn syrup. Salt should be one of the last ingredients on the list.

If you watch your caloric intake then it’s important to check out the number of calories for each slice of bread you consume.

And don’t think that brown or wholewheat means that they are not tasty. There are a variety of tasty breads out there that are chockfull of nutrition and are quite tasty. Some of these are from brands such as cobblestone which has excellent 9 and 12 grain variety.

Acne sufferers looking to stay clear this holiday season don't need to worry about missing out on festive food and wine. There is no established link between food and acne. However, the problem faced by acne sufferers is not only skin deep.

A study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that even mild cases of acne can lead to low self esteem, depression, and sometimes suicidal thoughts. Teens were jost at risk, given the link between physical appearance and social acceptance amongst their peers.

Acne can thus be a ticket to social purgatory, and this is no more evident than in the holiday season. With parties and informal social gatherings at a peak, the danger of a sense of isolation and social withdrawal is high.

If signs of depression and withdrawal are noted in acne sufferers, it is important to seek professional help, as some teenagers with severe depression stemming from their acne have committed suicide.

Acne can be treated, and there are steps that can be taken to prevent acne. AcneToHealth.com has identified 5 simple tips to help ensure the holidays are not marred by breakouts:
