When you wake up the morning you are not fasting, when you go to bed you don\u2019t fast but rest. It is inappropriate for you to use your energy to break down heavy food in the morning. You need activity in the morning\u2026 sweat before you eat&#8230; and when the blood is circulating and its very warm, digestion become effective\u201d Dr Kofi Asare said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWake up in the morning, drink your water, mid-morning take your smoothie or fruits,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the sidelines of the 11th edition of the annual Vegetarian Festival on Saturday, Dr Asare said that most deaths recorded in the country can be prevented if individuals restrict themselves to eating healthy meals.<\/p>\n<p>He said although exercise is important, food plays a major role in healthy living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExercise can only burn 20 percent of fat, so if you are eating wrongly, you are just deceiving yourself because the 80 percent of the fat out of the food is still in the body. Most sportsmen exercise well but die because of poor eating habits. Diet is super important,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 63 updated by: 63 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Saturday, 2 December 2017 Source: citifmonline.com 2017-12-02 President of the Vegetarian Association of Ghana, Dr Kofi Asare Taking \u2018heavy breakfast\u2019 apparently does not promote healthy living.
