8 Health Reasons You Should Never Skip Breakfast
Break-the-fast, after
going hours without food you, finally get up in the morning and need lots of
energy to kick start the day. Only breakfast can provide you with this energy.
If you’re of those who’re
still not having your breakfast, now is the time to change that habit. Here are
some extremely important reasons why!
Why you should never avoid
breakfast
1. Breakfast improves your metabolism:
Your blood sugar level
drops down in the morning. You need food that can provide you energy to get
through the morning. Body needs fuel to keep it running and the night is the
longest gap in the refuelling process. To make sure your metabolism keeps on going
you need to have something within 2 hours of waking up.
2. Keeps you on track if you’re looking to lose weight:
Researchers have found
that those who eat breakfast tend to maintain and lose weight. Though people
skip breakfast in the hope of losing weight they tend to eat more during lunch
or even choose unhealthier options later on which results into weight gain.
3. Helps to maintain insulin response:
Skipping meals leads to a
hyper insulin response when calories are consumed later on. That means the level
of insulin in blood is more than the glucose level which can lead to metabolic
disorder. This in turn results in to fat accumulation.
"A healthy breakfast
is the most important meal of the day.” There’s a nearly ten-hour long gap
between dinner and breakfast, during which the body is on fast mode. As the
name suggests, breakfast
is the meal you eat to break that fast. “It refuels your body
with essential nutrients to kick-start your day. So don’t skip it.”
4. Helps perform better at work/school:
Hungry employees and
students don’t do any good at work/school. When you are hungry you are
irritable and disinterested which reflects on your work too. Breakfast helps you
to wake up and makes you attentive.
5. Burns those calories early:
If you have breakfast you
can burn those calories early! How is that? Well, instead of going hungry till
lunch and then hogging on something loaded with calories with fewer hours left
in the day to burn it consider refuelling yourself early and getting enough
time to burn those calories.
6. Aids in setting a good example:
If you have kids, you
always want to set a good example for them. By having breakfast on time you
will show the quality of leadership by example.
7. Gets you your essential nutrients first thing in the morning:
There are food which we
have only as a part of our breakfast like cereals, fruits and milk. If you
bypass your breakfast you might never get those nutrients.
8. Skipping breakfast can make you grumpy:
Oh yes! If you have been
skipping breakfast and are in bad mood, you probably should know why. Not
having breakfast makes you grouchy. You might not even realise it and keep
wondering why you’re so irritable!
Apart from all these
reasons to have your breakfast there are few things you should always keep in
mind:
Never have dessert for
breakfast, it will cause blood sugar loss later on and you will be tempted to
eat even more.
Read the labels carefully,
even if it says ‘nutritious’ look into the details and understand if your body
needs that kind of food to start the day.
Stay full, stay happy!
