Maintaining a regular breakfast will help the body regenerate energy for a long day.However, some housewives who have a habit of eating pastries every morning will potentially pose risks to the digestive and cardiovascular systems as well as mental health.
Sudden increase or decrease in blood sugar
When eating pastries, refined sugar will increase blood sugar levels. The pancreas must secrete a large amount of insulin to stabilize, but after only 1 - 2 hours, blood sugar decreases, causing hunger pangs, creating an uncontrolled eating cycle. This is also one of the reasons that puts pressure on the metabolic system, adversely affecting health.
Reduced concentration, affecting work performance
In fact, eating too many pastries every morning can cause "brain fog" that affects logical thinking ability.
Besides, the body will always be in a state of drowsiness, lethargy and difficulty concentrating on work. This significantly reduces concentration as well as affects work performance during the day.
Risk of fat accumulation, chronic disease
Cakes contain empty calories, lack of fiber and vitamins. Excess sugar will quickly convert into visceral fat and belly fat. Maintaining a habit of eating sweets every morning also leads to insulin resistance, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In particular, trans fat in industrial cakes will increase bad cholesterol, harming blood vessel walls.
Effects on the digestive system and skin
A breakfast with high sugar content will imbalance the gut microbiota, causing bloating and indigestion, affecting the digestive system. Sugar also promotes glycation, breaking down collagen and elastin fibers, causing skin to age quickly, appearing many wrinkles and acne.
Change your breakfast menu to a group rich in protein and fiber to help protect skin structure, maintain youthfulness and radiance.
