Breaking Your Fast: Are You Fueling Inflammation or Starting to Heal?

Jul 16, 2025 5:06 am

Dear ,


Every morning, your gut whispers a question before your first bite:

“Are you feeding me fuel… or fire?”


Yes, your body has just spent hours repairing, detoxifying, and restoring balance while you sleep. But that very first meal your “break fast” decides whether inflammation melts away or explodes back into motion.


Here’s the confusing part:

Many “healthy” breakfasts - like oats with low-fat milk, fruit juices, multigrain toast actually spike insulin, irritate your gut lining, and stall your healing.


For someone with IBS, bloating, joint pain, or skin issues like psoriasis… this is a trap.


But here’s the fascination…

A healing breakfast can reverse inflammation, energise your cells, calm your nervous system, and feed your microbiome.


Here are few anti-inflammatory breakfast ideas: 

  • Yellow moong dal cheela with stuffed paneer / tofu 
  • Steamed sprouts chaat 
  • Vegetable paneer paratha 
  • Moong idli with coconut chutney 
  • Hummus cucumber sandwich 


Why this works: You’re balancing protein, healthy fats, and fibre—without blood sugar spikes or gut chaos.


Your one action today:

Audit your current breakfast. Ask:

• Does it include sugar, gluten, dairy or caffeine?

• How do I feel after an hour - sluggish or steady?

Let’s turn your mornings into medicine.


If you feel your mornings might be hurting more than healing, let’s talk.

Because, , your healing starts with how you break your fast.


With warm care,
