JAKARTA - Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin (BGS) invited the Indonesian people to get used to starting the day with a healthy breakfast. According to him, simple choices such as two boiled eggs are much more useful than popular breakfast menus that are high in sugar and calories.

"If you eat or have breakfast for the first time, don't be sweet, such as contracts, nasi uduk, or lontong. It makes our sugar immediately rise. We need healthy foods, for example protein such as eggs," said BGS through an upload on its official Instagram.

He explained that one boiled egg contains about 6 grams of protein and 60 calories. So, if you eat two pills, a person has received 12 grams of protein with an energy of about 120 calories. Apart from being healthy, eggs are also easy to make and the price is affordable.

BGS emphasizes the importance of meeting daily protein needs. In general, the ideal protein requirement is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. Weighing 72 kilograms, for example, requires about 57 58 grams of protein per day. Two boiled eggs in the morning can be a good start to meeting that need.

He also reminded that after the body fasts for 8'10 hours while sleeping, it is better not to be immediately given foods high in sugar that can trigger a spike in blood sugar.

"It's practical for him, it's just a 5'7 minute dive, it's cheap again. Just start breakfast with two boiled eggs without additional calorie-high sauce," he said.

In addition to being suitable as a breakfast menu, eating boiled eggs in the morning has many benefits to be felt. Here are the benefits of eating boiled eggs in the morning, as reported by the Eating This page, Not That.

One egg only contains about 1.6 grams of saturated fat. This amount is lower than red meat, so it is safe to consume regularly.

Protein from eggs helps improve muscle fiber after exercise, so that it is suitable for those who want to shape the body more fit and muscular.
