I benefici della colazione salata con il Prosciutto di San Daniele

Kicking the day off properly is crucial in the morning, you should always start with a healthy but rich and tasty breakfast! Indeed when we wake up our body needs energy to be effective.

For a definitely tasty meal that is also rich in nutrients the answer is a savoury breakfast: it has always been a favourite in various parts of the world and it is becoming a welcome habit also in Italy.

A healthy and balanced breakfast is the key to make your whole day productive and have the physical and mental energy you need to face the busy life we all lead. 

The importance of breakfast

And speaking of breakfast, although it is common knowledge that it’s the most important meal of the day, far too many people, for haste, laziness or by habit just quickly scarf down some food with a cup of coffee. There are also those who prefer skipping breakfast: nothing could be more wrong!

It’s an unreplaceable meal: a healthy and nourishing breakfast helps boost and speed up the metabolism. Eating a rich and balanced meal in the morning gives you all the energy you need to have a dynamic day.

What to eat?You should choose food that is rich in vitamins , minerals and fiber, that gives you a real boost and a longer sensation of fullness and doesn’t strain the digestive system.

The benefits of a savoury breakfast

The so-very-Italian habit of “cappuccino and brioche” isn’t always the right choice in terms of nutrition. It’s an exception to the rule to be made occasionally, but in daily life you should eat a balanced diet.

For breakfast you should choose proteins and the healthy carbs of fruit and avoid refined sugar.

For a definitely tasty meal that is also rich in nutrients the answer is a savoury breakfast: it has always been a favourite in various parts of the world and it is becoming a welcome habit also in Italy.

Who is savoury breakfast recommended for?

In a healthy and balanced savoury breakfast Prosciutto di San Daniele is the perfect ingredient. It mainly consists of proteins and it ensures a quick digestibility.
