Potential risks from skipping breakfast
In a busy life, many people often choose to skip breakfast to save time or aim to lose weight. However, experts warn that this is a habit that can have a long-term impact on health.
Nutritionist arooshi Aggarwal (India) commented: Showing breakfast regularly causes blood sugar to drop, making the body tired and angry. At the same time, it also stimulates overeating at later meals, making it difficult to control weight.
Some international studies have also pointed out clear consequences:
Cardiovascular risk: Research in the Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease shows that skipping breakfast can increase the risk of death from heart-related diseases by 21%.
brain effects: Results from the King Khalid University Journal of Health Sciences show that skipping breakfast can lead to reduced concentration, poor memory, and poor productivity.
High blood pressure: Clinical surveys confirm that long-term breakfast fasting is associated with high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for stroke.
Dr. Laura Smith, a nutritionist at Harvard University (USA), emphasized: Not eating breakfast can lead to metabolic disorders. In the long run, it can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Healthy breakfast: the foundation for a new day
Experts recommend that breakfast should account for about 2025% of total daily energy needs. This is a meal that helps the body regenerate energy after a long night and maintain alertness throughout the morning.
A balanced breakfast usually includes:
protein: eggs, milk, yogurt or beans.
Complex carbohydrates: whole grains, bread, oats.
Good fats: avocados, nuts, olive oil.
Vitamins and fiber: fresh fruits or green vegetables.
Expert Aggarwal recommends: Bustling people can choose simple dishes such as oatmeal porridge, fruit yogurt or whole grain sandwiches. Just 10,15 minutes in the morning are enough to prepare a nutritious meal, helping the body warm up better for the whole day".
