A healthy start is good for a healthy heart

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day and having a healthy start by eating breakfast can help to reduced obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.

In order to promote the health benefits but also the variety of top quality Welsh breakfast produce available, a variety of farmhouse breakfasts are being held in Caernarfonshire as part of Farmhouse breakfast week.

So why not kick start your day the healthy way and join us at one of our 5 breakfasts, which have been organised on the following dates:

  • Saturday, January 21, at Meillionydd Bach, Rhoshirwaun, Pwllheli
  • Monday, January 23, at Ty’n Hendre, Talybont
  • Tuesday, January 24, at Llys Padrig, Y Ffor, Pwllheli, Gwynedd, Bangor
  • Friday, January 27, at Dylasau Uchaf, Padog, Betws-y-Coed, Conwy 
  • Friday, January 27, at Caffi Ann, Bryncir Mart, Bryncir, Garndolbenmaen

Farmers’ Union of Wales Caernarfonshire County Executive Officer Gwynedd Watkin, who is organising the events, said:

“I get really excited about our farmhouse breakfasts every year. We can start the day together in a positive and healthy way and at the same time raise money for British Heart Foundation Cymru at all locations and Cancer Research Wales as well in Meillionydd Bach. Over the last 8 years, the Caernarfonshire breakfasts alone have raised over £35,000 and we’re looking for yet another good turnout this year. It’s fair to say that a healthy start is good for a healthy heart. As they say, eat breakfast like a King.”

BHF are the nation’s heart charity and the largest independent funder of cardiovascular research. Coronary heart disease is the UK’s single biggest killer and their pioneering research has helped to transform the lives of people living with heart and circulatory conditions and their work has been central to the discoveries of vital treatments that are helping to change the face of the UK’s fight against heart disease.

“This Farmhouse breakfast week also provides an opportunity to promote the quality premium local produce that farmers grow for us every day of the year, and throughout breakfast week the FUW will shine a spotlight on the importance of our rural economy.

“I hope many of you will be able to join us for breakfast. We want you to be a part of what we do, and share your thoughts and worries about the state of the industry, tell us your stories and help us to understand how we can help each other, and what better way to do that than round a table where we share great food and have a cup of tea,” added Mr Watkin.
