Advice from Heart Research UK says that breakfast is the most important meal of the day when it comes to looking after your heart.

One of the most popular and convenient breakfast choices is cereal. However don't be fooled as not all cereals are as good for you as they appear. Choose wholegrains cereals which are high in complex carbohydrates to give you a constant supply of energy.

Porridge is a good choice, as it will keep energy levels constant and, because of it's high content of soluable fibre, it can help to lower blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
