Many people talk about the harmful effects of skipping breakfast, but few people know that eating breakfast too late also causes certain health effects.
Best Time to Breakfast
According to Sohu, the best time to eat breakfast is about 7 - 8 hours. Eating breakfast after 9am is considered a late breakfast and can affect health.
The difference between eating breakfast on time and eating breakfast late
Effects on metabolism
metabolism is the process of converting food into energy and nutrients for the body, supporting the normal functioning of cells, tissues and organs. At the same time, it repair and renew cells, eliminating metabolic waste from the body. Therefore, eating breakfast on time is very important to maintain an orderly metabolism of the body.
Normally, an adult will have a waking time of about 6-7 hours or earlier. Eating breakfast for about 30 minutes to 1 hour after waking up will help activate the body's metabolic function after a long sleep.
If you eat breakfast after 9am or later, your body can understand that you are still maintaining an "energy-saving" mode and your metabolic function will also be slower. Of course, eating breakfast later can also help activate metabolic function, but the metabolism throughout the day will take place more slowly.
Impact on the digestive system
All organs in the body have a certain circadian rhythm, such as the digestive system.
After waking up in the morning, the digestive system also begins to " wake up" during the day. At this time, bowel movements speed up and digestive secretions also increase. If you eat breakfast at this time, it may be suitable for the warm-up time of the digestive system, which is very beneficial for the functioning and health of the digestive system.
If breakfast is delayed, digestive juices such as stomach acid secreted on an empty stomach and no food intake will stimulate the stomach lining. In the long run, this will increase the risk of gastritis and gastric ulcers.
Impact on blood sugar and cardiovascular health
After one night, most of the body's metabolism is complete. Eating breakfast on time can help blood circulation and insulin can play a better role. Therefore, blood sugar levels are also stable.
If you eat breakfast late, your already low blood sugar will suddenly increase and insulin secretion will also increase. This can easily make us eat more than usual.
