Which food did you take for breakfast? There are a variety of meals that make up a healthy and balanced diet, especially in this generation where most of us do not consider whatever we choose for our stomachs, as long as it is edible.

We need to embrace the culture of adding some traditional foods on our breakfast menu, and by this I mean foods such as Irish potatoes, cassava and sweet potatoes.

There is a rise in the number of people suffering from chronic diseases caused by consumption of a lot of fats and sugars, thus medics advise on adapting the trend of taking traditional foods as compared to junk or fast foods.
