The best breakfast for ultimate performance

From Dr Mercola:
Ever had one of those days that just seemed to get started on the wrong foot… and as a result the whole day seemed ‘off’?
Perhaps it had something to do with how you began the day…
Isn’t it time to rethink lightning speed breakfasts of nothing but processed ‘stuff’ containing who-knows-what? Why not ADD a speedy, wholesome, energy-infused drink to your breakfast to boost the value of whatever else you eat?*
However, many of us simply do not have the time to do this every morning, or wake up late and are unable to squeeze something healthy in.
A healthy option would be one made from high quality, whole, raw foods which flood your body with the ‘master’ antioxidant –and also supply you with high protein levels that help keep you going without that mid-morning ‘crash’ you might get from carb-heavy breakfasts.*
You have an antioxidant network comprised of vitamins, minerals, and special chemicals called thiols (glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid).
But the thiol glutathione has a unique role. It seems to have claimed lead status, and keeps all the other antioxidants in line and performing at peak level.*
Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants in your body. It is present in every one of your cells. It's different from other antioxidants in that it is actually inside your cells. It can maximize the activity of all the other antioxidants, including vitamins C and E, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and the fresh veggies and fruits you eat every day.*
So the main function of glutathione is to protect your cells and mitochondria from oxidative and peroxidative damage.* As might be expected, the aging process reduces your body's ability to produce glutathione.*
But the overall top food for maximizing your glutathione is high quality whey protein. It must be cold pressed whey protein derived from grass fed cows, and free of hormones, chemicals, and sugar.
Quality whey provides all the key amino acids for glutathione production (cysteine, glycine and glutamate) and contains a unique cysteine residue (glutamylcysteine) that is highly bioactive in its affinity for converting to glutathione.
