The Biggest Mistake When Relying on Cheese for Breakfast

The Biggest Mistake When Relying on Cheese for Breakfast

In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.

Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of God.

Dear brothers and sisters, peace be upon you and God’s mercy and blessings.

As an important observation, I have seen many cases of children suffering from recurrent abdominal pain. This is often the main reason that drives parents to bring their children in for medical examination. After conducting diagnoses for a large number of these cases, it became clear that the primary cause is poor dietary habits.

Fast foods that are widely consumed today such as processed biscuits, industrial juices, potato chips, and various sweets are being given to children on a daily basis. These foods have even become what is known as a “snack,” which children eat during school breaks. This is, in fact, a serious and major problem.

Here, I would like to address another issue that is equally harmful in children’s nutrition, which is the excessive reliance on milk.

In many American communities, people depend almost entirely on milk for breakfast. Milk has become the foundation of the morning meal: milk with coffee, milk with chocolate, milk with tea—everything revolves around milk, as if there is no breakfast without it.

Today, many countries are experiencing a milk shortage. It is well known that most American countries do not produce milk locally and instead rely on imports. This milk is often powdered and imported from European countries such as France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and others. During the manufacturing process, it is exposed to very high temperatures, which causes it to lose a large portion of its nutritional value and vitamins. As a result, various industrial additives are added to make it suitable for human consumption.

Therefore, this milk is not natural, yet we rely on it heavily and even consider it the main component of breakfast.

Dear readers, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as it forms the foundation of a person’s energy and activity throughout the day.

How can a person perform physically demanding or exhausting work after consuming nothing more than a glass of milk?

How can a child or student go to school or university to study while relying only on milk for breakfast?

Many young people today suffer from a loss of appetite in the morning, which is often linked to psychological factors, as psychological stress has become widespread across all age groups. Despite this, many parents pressure their children to drink milk instead of offering healthier and more balanced alternatives.

Milk is not an essential food after early childhood.

God Almighty says in the Holy Qur’an:

“And mothers shall breastfeed their children for two complete years.”

Milk is essential during the first two years of a person’s life. After that, it becomes just another food item, like vegetables, legumes, and other foods.

Calcium is not found only in milk. In fact, many vegetables, nuts, and other foods contain high levels of calcium—sometimes even higher than those found in milk.

The belief that milk must be consumed in the morning is a misconception that we inherited from certain Western dietary habits, which often rely on sugary foods for breakfast, such as croissants and pastries. Sugars, when consumed in the morning, are digested quickly, leading to a strong release of insulin. This causes a drop in blood sugar levels, resulting in fatigue and weakness shortly afterward.

On the other hand, foods that contain healthy fats—such as natural butter, natural cheeses, and nuts—are far more beneficial for breakfast. There are also simple and affordable alternatives available to everyone, such as:

• An egg cooked in olive oil over low heat

• The prophetic talbinah (barley porridge with milk and honey or date syrup)

• Chickpeas with olive oil

• Fava beans

• Whole wheat porridge with olive oil or date syrup

• Chicken slices cooked in olive oil, as well as nuts

These foods provide the body with energy, vitality, and endurance, unlike relying solely on milk.

Depending on milk as the main foundation of breakfast is an unhealthy habit that needs to be reconsidered. By changing our dietary habits and consuming a balanced, healthy breakfast, we can protect our children’s health, help them focus and succeed academically, and enable workers to perform their jobs effectively.

This is sincere advice, and I hope it will be taken into consideration.

And God is the Grantor of success.

Peace be upon you and God’s mercy and blessings.
