Why you should eat breakfast?
Why is it that we see people skipping breakfast now more than ever before? Is it that people like to skip breakfast regardless, or are they on a dieting spree? Studies have shown that the present trend indicates that more and more people all over the world are skipping breakfast. Unfortunately, the trend is not restricted to adults alone but seen in school and college-going children too. This is a rather sad state of affairs and the repercussions of this could be felt in later years.
People tend to skip breakfast for some reason or the other — while some do this for the sake of dieting others are just not able to find the time to eat breakfast in their morning rush-hour. But, is what they are doing the right thing? No, absolutely not. Let us see why.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and this fact has been drilled into our minds since a long time. Breakfast — as the name indicates you are breaking the overnight fast, of say about 6–8 hours. Your body, and your brain in particular, need the energy and nutrients to start the day right and carry on with the daily activities. Students and adults are able to perform better due to increased concentration. When you do not eat a breakfast, you are depriving your body of the vital nutrients. So, stop and have healthy morning breakfast — it doesn’t take much time to grab a bite, does it?
What happens when you don’t eat breakfast?
When people normally have breakfast, they are bound to feel hungry only at lunchtime. But, when you don”t eat any breakfast you are definitely going to feel hungry well before lunchtime. And since it is not the right time to eat lunch, you snack on unhealthy junk foods that are high in fat and sugar. And, there is another thing — people who avoid breakfasts are unlikely to make up for the lost vitamins and minerals which, they could otherwise have obtained from a routine breakfast. Breakfast helps you to go through your morning routine smoothly with experiencing any mid-morning slump.
