There is an old saying in China, "Eat well for breakfast, eat well for lunch, and eat less for dinner." I believe everyone has heard of it, and it is estimated that the elders at home are not less nagging in our ears. However, with the increasing pace of people's life, many people do not eat breakfast in order to catch the bus, but use water to satisfy their hunger or have brunch together. Is this really healthy?

Not eating breakfast in the morning will not only affect our physical health, but also have a certain impact on our mental health.

First, if we don't eat breakfast for a long time, our gallbladder will be concentrated for a long time, which is easy to form gallstones, which will lead to some biliary colic, nausea, vomiting and indigestion. Not eating breakfast for a long time will not only make gallstones continue to cause malignant stimulation to the gallbladder wall, but also promote the high incidence of some gallbladder cancers.

Secondly, if we skip breakfast for a long time, it is easy to keep our blood sugar level at a low level. Because we don't eat breakfast, our stomachs are more likely to feel hungry at noon. At this time, we may choose to increase our diet in retaliation for filling our stomachs, and then our blood sugar will rise rapidly. This fluctuating blood sugar level will increase the metabolic burden of our islets, so people who skip breakfast are at great risk of developing diabetes.

Thirdly, if we don't eat breakfast in the morning, it is easy to make some changes in the rhythm of our gastrointestinal tract, especially in the long-term fasting state, some digestive juices will cause great damage and stimulation to the digestive tract mucosa, and it is also easy to cause some gastritis and gastric ulcer diseases, leading to further nutrient absorption disorders, which will lead to high incidence of malnutrition.

Mentally, people who skip breakfast in the morning tend to have low blood sugar levels in their brains and are prone to some depression, so people who skip breakfast have a relatively high risk of depression.

Another effect is that it will reduce our study and work efficiency in the morning. Because the most important thing for our brain to provide energy is sugar, if we don't eat breakfast in the morning, the blood sugar in our brain can't be supplied, which will easily make students lose their concentration in class and their academic performance decline. For office workers, skipping breakfast often distracts attention and reduces work efficiency.

Some people, who have no time to eat breakfast, will use milk or yogurt instead of breakfast. Is this desirable? Drinking milk alone can never replace breakfast. Because the variety of nutrients in milk itself is not complete, from the perspective of nutrition, milk mainly contains some calcium and a certain amount of high-quality protein, including some nutrients; In addition, the amount of these nutrients contained in it can not meet the needs of our body metabolism in the morning, so drinking only milk in the morning often leads to the lack of energy and nutrients, which leads to the decline of our work and study efficiency in the morning. Drinking milk only in the morning can never meet our body's diverse and adequate nutritional needs.

In addition, from the nutritional point of view, a good breakfast should have enough energy, rich vitamins, high-quality protein and moderate fat, so a good breakfast should at least drink a little porridge, eat a little slice and supplement some grains to provide energy. Of course, you can also eat some eggs and lean meat properly, or drink some milk and soybean milk to supplement high-quality protein.

Besides, rich vitamins and minerals should be supplemented in the morning, and some vegetables and fruits should be eaten properly for breakfast to supplement our micronutrient needs. Therefore, milk should never be used instead of breakfast in the morning.

After dinner, you should have breakfast in the morning. Because eating supper is not a routine practice, we only eat supper once in a while when staying up late, or when we need to replenish energy and some nutrition after a long work, but it can't replace breakfast the next day.

Because of our normal diet, three meals a day are breakfast, Chinese food and dinner, and the best time to eat breakfast is around 6: 30 to 7: 00. Lunch is from 1 1: 30 to 12: 30, dinner is usually from 18: 30 to 19: 30, and supper is usually from 22: 00 pm to 2: 00 am. Many people eat supper, and there are four hours before breakfast in the morning. If we don't eat breakfast until noon 12, then our bodies will be on an empty stomach for nearly 8- 10 hours, and the risk of gallstones will increase.

There are still many people who lie in bed in the morning and don't get up for breakfast because they eat supper at night, and this bad cycle will lead to the body's energy not being consumed in time and accumulating in the body, increasing the risk of obesity, overweight, fatty liver and hyperlipidemia.

Therefore, we should abandon the habit of eating supper frequently. We can have supper occasionally, but it should not be a routine operation. We should get into the habit of eating breakfast, lunch and dinner regularly, especially breakfast is very important for the metabolism of the day. Breakfast is a meal that plays the most important health care role in our health, so we must attach great importance to it.
