What do you always eat at breakfast? I was
under the impression that people of western countries such as Europeans and
Americans prefer to eat some bread and milk, cornmeal or plus some salad and
sandwiches etc. as breakfast every day. While Japanese people may be more
likely to eat some Yamato-breakfast such as Miso, Onigiri, etc. or maybe some
people are the same with the people of western countries. While when I was in
my hometown China, I always eat the Chinese food such as soya-bean milk, jellied
bean curd, tea eggs and may be some Chinese-type pies. There were so many kinds
of food full of variety in China that I didn’t know what to eat at breakfast
when I first came to Japan. And as the article said, finally I chose eggs as my
breakfast till now.
In this article, it is reported that eating
eggs at breakfast would bring people more satiety than some others. According
to the research of the American Egg Board, eating eggs boosts PYY in human’s
body, which is a kind of hormone that could lower hunger sensation and higher
satiety of body. And it leads people to eat less at the next meal. So the
researchers advised people who want to lose weight could try to eat eggs at breakfast
or lunch.
To combine with my life, I would like to
share some of my experiences. When I first came to Japan, I cannot find any
foods which are a little bit similar as in China. At that time, I was confused
about what to eat at breakfast and began to eat instant noodles which I brought
from China. But when I ate up the noodles, it became a problem once again. So I
began to eat breads and milk as breakfast, but my roommate did not want to eat
them anymore. Finally, we chose to cook some Japanese Ramen and add an egg and
sometimes some Green cabbages per person. Of course my roommate did it every
morning because I could not wake up such early to cook. We found it great for
our stomach and full of nutrition. Thus we continued to eat it as breakfast
till we both left from Kyoto.
But while I came to Sapporo, I found that
kind of noodle cannot be found in the super-markets of Sapporo. Though felt a
little bit sad, I had to find a new food as breakfast. As early as my Japanese
class goes at the first class two times a week, my breakfast must be speedy and
full of nutrition. Thus I found eggs are miraculous to be breakfast. Sometimes
I write reports all the night. And I have the experience of slept at 4:00AM so
that I felt so tired when I woke up. But finally, eating eggs at morning makes
me satiety and a little more energetic than some others do. And I chose to eat
an egg as breakfast to support my whole morning.
That is all my opinions about this article
and I think it is a great choose for us to eat eggs every day in order to
support our brain as a kind of high grade protein.
