The saying, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” should not be taken lightly. Much research backs up this saying, and stresses the significance of not skipping breakfast.
By the time we wake up and get
ready to have breakfast, we
technically have fasted overnight
while sleeping. So skipping breakfast
adds to this fasting period, it may
disrupt blood glucose balance, and
may result in lack of alertness and
energy. Studies suggest that due to
this disruption in blood glucose,
breakfast skippers may develop a
higher tendency to over eat during the
day, since they crave more unhealthy
foods to give a quick-fix.
Consequently skipping breakfast may
also mean your body is playing catch up all day to try to make up for missing breakfast. Interestingly, some studies suggest that eating breakfast regularly may lead to improved mood, better memory, and may boost metabolism which may be beneficial for weight loss or management.
