As the saying goes: Eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner, which shows that breakfast is very important. Occasionally skipping breakfast may affect your study and work efficiency in the morning, and skipping breakfast often may affect your health.
What are the consequences of skipping breakfast?
1. Cause gastritis. When you wake up in the morning, the previous dinner has been digested, and the stomach is empty. If you often skip breakfast, the digestive enzymes in the stomach may act on the gastric mucosa, which may lead to gastritis and other stomach diseases in the long run.
2. Increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. The study found that regularly skipping breakfast was associated with a 27% increased risk of heart disease and a 36% increased risk of cerebral hemorrhage in people who skipped breakfast.
3. Trigger hypoglycemia. The sugar in the body will slowly digest and disappear over time. If you skip breakfast, it may cause hypoglycemia, inability to concentrate, and even fainting symptoms.
4. Causes gallstones. When the human body eats, the bile can be emptied, and skipping breakfast may cause the bile to be unable to be discharged in time, and even cause gallstones.
5. Affect life. The survey found that people who often skip breakfast have a 40% higher mortality rate than those who often eat breakfast. Most long-lived elderly people have the habit of insisting on eating breakfast.
Two wrong breakfasts are not good for health
1. Eat too fast. Many young people like to sleep in late and have to rush to work, so they gobble their breakfast. This way of eating breakfast will increase the burden on the stomach and may also cause some gastrointestinal diseases.
2. The dining environment is poor. Many people do not have time to cook in the morning, so they choose to buy and eat, but some breakfast restaurants have a very poor dining environment, and the raw materials and practices of the food may not be clean. Eating this kind of breakfast often is not good for health.
What does a healthy and nutritious breakfast look like?
As an important meal, breakfast should be as healthy and reasonable as possible, with balanced and comprehensive nutrition. A healthy and nutritious breakfast should contain several substances such as meat, eggs, milk, cereals, vegetables and fruits, and the calories of breakfast should account for about 30% of the total calories throughout the day.
If it can contain four of the above-mentioned substances, it can be classified as a nutritious breakfast; if it contains three, it is a good quality breakfast; if it contains two, it is a pass; If it contains only one of these substances, it is a poor quality breakfast.
