Breakfast
is a very important part of our diet. If you are in habit of skipping your
breakfast, here are some very important reasons why you should not.
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!
1.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. 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.
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.
4.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
