Breakfast has always been described as the most important meal of the day, which should be eaten calmly and quietly.
L‘importance of the morning meal in our daily diet for years has not been questioned, but recent research suggests that its omission is strongly demonized and does not negatively affect the entire diet as previously believed.
Then why is breakfast so important? Is jumping really bad for your health?
Eating just awake It is important for our metabolism and for the brain. Glucose as an energy source is needed after overnight fasting, our brain needs sugar.
Too little glucose can cause concentration problems, drowsiness and fatigue.
Without breakfast you will not lose weight
People who want to lose weight without breakfast will find difficulties generated by their choice. Weight loss is initially linked to the loss of muscle mass, unfortunately, this slows down the metabolism and over time promotes the increase in fat mass.
At breakfast can not give up especially people with diabetes and insulin resistance, all those who have problems with the thyroid, with the circulatory system, who suffer from migraines and of course children and students.
Very young people who skip breakfast are prone to frequent headaches, irritability, malaise and decreased concentration. These symptoms often result in reduced school performance. A study carried out byAmerican Dietetic Association highlighted that children and adolescents who make daily a rich and balanced breakfast (consisting of cereals, milk and dairy products and fruit) are more attentive to school and get better intellectual and sports performance throughout the morning.
A healthy, light and nutritious breakfast accelerates the metabolism and stimulates the mind, so why not do it?
The most common reason is lack of time, but it is really just an excuse.
Preparing and eating breakfast takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes, and some dishes can be made in no time or even the night before.
The second reason is monotony and lack of ideas for a tasty and satisfying meal.
The ideal breakfast should provide in the right proportions of nutrients i.e. protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and fiber, while also seeking wholesomeness, balance and lightness and taking advantage of seasonal products such as fruits and vegetables.
