Is skipping breakfast good for your health?
What's the harm of skipping breakfast? 1, slow you down: breakfast is the energy source of brain activity. If you don't eat breakfast, your body can't supply enough blood sugar for consumption, and you will feel tired, weak, inattentive, depressed and unresponsive. 2. Chronic diseases may "rise": skip breakfast and start a day's work with an empty stomach. In order to gain power, the body will use thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, pituitary gland and other glands to burn tissues, which will not only cause hyperthyroidism, but also make the body sour and suffer from chronic diseases. 3, the stomach may be "rebellious": eating breakfast at noon, the stomach is hungry for a long time, which will cause excessive gastric acid secretion, which is easy to cause gastritis and gastric ulcer. 4, constipation "out of the cage": in the case of regular meals, the phenomenon of gastrocolon reflex will naturally appear in the human body, simply speaking, it is to promote defecation; If you don't eat breakfast as a habit, it may cause gastrocolonic reflex disorder for a long time, which may cause constipation. 5. It will bring you closer to obese people: Once the human body realizes the lack of nutrition, it consumes carbohydrates and protein first, and then fat, so don't think that skipping breakfast will promote the consumption of fat. On the contrary, skipping breakfast will make you eat more for lunch and dinner. Instead of losing weight, you will get fat. Friendly reminder: don't think that you can lose weight without eating breakfast and absorbing less calories. According to nutritionists, breakfast is the most difficult meal for everyone to turn into fat in a day. Don't eat breakfast every day, just eat more lunch. Japanese sumo wrestlers only eat lunch and dinner instead of breakfast, so breakfast is very important. The ratio of breakfast, lunch and dinner is preferably 3: 2: 1, so that the essence you eat in a day can be consumed at the most vigorous time. According to nutrition experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After resting from sleep, the body is fully prepared for a day's work and study. At this time, you really need to take in rich nutrition to cope with the consumption of the whole day. What harm does skipping breakfast bring? First, skipping breakfast will cause hypoglycemia and make people depressed. After a night's sleep, the nutrients in the human body have been exhausted. At this time, the blood sugar concentration is in a low state. If you don't eat breakfast, the blood sugar concentration will continue to drop, leading to pallor, weakness of limbs, listlessness, and sometimes even hypoglycemia shock. Second, it will seriously affect memory. According to experts, the energy of the brain comes from glucose, which can only be accumulated in the liver and kidneys and can only be stored for 8 hours. If you don't eat in the morning, your brain is short of energy, resulting in memory loss. Third, it is easy to get chronic diseases such as gastritis and ulcer if you don't eat breakfast. Fourth, induce gallstones. When people are on an empty stomach in the morning, the saturation of cholesterol in bile in the body is high, so eating breakfast is beneficial to the discharge of bile in the gallbladder; On the contrary, it is easy to precipitate cholesterol in bile and produce stones. A survey of women with gallstones by British scholars found that people with gallstones are related to not eating breakfast for a long time. Therefore, we should not only eat breakfast, but also attach great importance to the quality of breakfast. Some people think that "breakfast is gold, lunch is silver and dinner is copper". Eating breakfast every day is one of the elements to prolong life. Skipping breakfast is tantamount to chronic suicide. Although the phrase "eat well early, eat well at noon and eat less at night" is well known, few people can tell why they should eat well in the morning. So, do you know how many health risks are related to skipping breakfast? Hu Xiaoqi, an associate researcher at the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that skipping breakfast will make you get old quickly, and eating breakfast well will make you less likely to get fat. Reasonable breakfast food should be rich in water and nutrition. Milk and soybean milk meet the above requirements, you can choose one, and other "dry points" should be added. However, these foods are digested quickly, so there should be a proper amount of protein, fat, eggs, bean products, lean meat, peanuts and so on. This will not only keep food in the stomach for a long time, but also make people energetic all morning. Harm of skipping breakfast 1, easy to suffer from digestive tract diseases: skipping breakfast affects gastric acid secretion and bile excretion, which will weaken the function of digestive system and induce digestive system diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcer and gallstones. 2, increase the risk of chronic diseases: start a day's work without breakfast. In order to gain motivation, an empty stomach will use thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, pituitary gland and other glands to burn tissues, which will not only cause hyperthyroidism, but also make the constitution sour and increase the chance of suffering from chronic diseases. 3, decreased resistance: malnutrition caused by not eating breakfast will lead to decreased body resistance and increase the incidence of colds, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases. 4. Accelerating aging: skipping breakfast means using glycogen and protein stored in the body, which will lead to dry skin, wrinkles and anemia in the long run, thus accelerating aging. 5, easy to get fat: Japanese sumo wrestlers are the best example. The fasting state caused by high-intensity training without breakfast will reduce the sugar in the blood, and hypoglycemia will promote the secretion of growth hormone; Eating a lot after training will make the secretion of growth hormone more vigorous and tissue fat increase continuously. If you continue this lifestyle, fat will continue to accumulate. 6, affecting learning and working ability: brain operation needs to call glucose in the blood, that is, blood sugar, which is also the only energy reserve that the brain can use. If you don't eat breakfast or the nutrition of breakfast is insufficient, the blood sugar level will be relatively reduced, and you can't deliver enough energy substances for the normal work of the nervous system in time. 7, easy to cause constipation: if you don't eat breakfast often, the role of gastrocolon reflex will gradually weaken, and finally cause constipation. 8, leading to malnutrition in children: children who do not eat breakfast, the whole day nutrient intake is lower than that of children who eat breakfast, and the nutrients provided by breakfast are difficult to be supplemented from lunch or dinner. What's the harm of skipping breakfast? Hu Peijin, a researcher at Peking University Institute of Child and Adolescent Health, said: First of all, after a night of digestion and absorption after dinner the day before, people must be on an empty stomach in the morning, and they need enough energy to work the next morning. At this time, breakfast is a very necessary step to provide energy. Protein, energy and other nutrients provided by breakfast are an important guarantee to ensure the quality of study and work in the morning. If you don't eat breakfast, the brain will not get enough energy because of the decrease of blood sugar, which will inevitably reduce its working ability and lead to problems such as easy fatigue, inattention and low work efficiency. Skipping breakfast often leads to a particularly strong sense of hunger at noon, so eating too much lunch leads to too much energy intake in one day, which may lead to obesity over time. Moreover, everyone should have a certain nutritional intake every day. If you don't eat breakfast, it is likely to lead to insufficient nutrition intake for one day. It is not enough to supplement these nutrients only by lunch and dinner. Over time, it will also lead to the lack of nutrients. Therefore, we should eat breakfast regularly, with good quality and quantity. If you don't eat breakfast, you will catch a cold easily. I think you should have some breakfast, otherwise there will be no mental work. Breakfast is indeed the most important of the three meals a day. A recent study by British researchers found that people who eat breakfast regularly are less likely to catch a cold or get the flu. Researchers at the Center for Occupational Diseases and Psychology at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom say that people who eat breakfast regularly, especially those who eat cereal for breakfast, have fewer colds and weigh less than those who don't eat breakfast. This further proves that eating breakfast is good for physical health and mental health. Skipping breakfast may bring potential harm. The researchers conducted a survey on 100 healthy students for 10 week to understand their common cold. During the investigation, the physical and mental health and diet of the respondents were recorded every week. If students catch a cold during the research, their temperature changes and other indicators indicating the severity of symptoms should be recorded. All students often make computerized evaluations of their emotions and performances. The study found that at least half of the respondents suffered from upper respiratory tract infection during the study period. But those who are often ill often skip breakfast. People who have had unfortunate life events (such as death or divorce of relatives) within 0/2 months before the start of the study are also more likely to get sick. Researchers believe that cold or flu is related to respondents' skipping breakfast, but it is also related to their sense of stress and loneliness. Those who are often anxious are also more likely to catch a cold or get the flu, and they will get old quickly if they skip breakfast. Because of the accelerated pace of work, many middle-aged people have developed the habit of skipping breakfast now. Experts remind middle-aged people that after entering middle age, the tissues, organs and physiological functions of the body begin to decline gradually, and their physical strength and energy are not as good as those of young people. Sun Meizhen, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Hospital of the Ministry of Health, told the reporter that skipping breakfast for middle-aged people will hinder nutrient absorption and affect mental state. Therefore, middle-aged people must eat breakfast seriously and postpone the arrival of old age. Breakfast should account for 1/3 of the daily food intake. If you eat at six or seven o'clock in the evening, it will be twelve or thirteen hours by seven o'clock the next morning. There is no food in your stomach and you are temporarily in a state of nutritional deficiency. Be sure to supplement enough food at this time. Many middle-aged people just eat pickles and sesame oil sticks to cope, which makes their brains lack nutrition and listless, and their work efficiency is not high all morning. In the morning, gastrointestinal peristalsis increases, and the secretion of various digestive glands is strengthened to welcome breakfast. If you don't eat breakfast at this time, the digestive organs will be worn out because of "idling", which is the root cause of premature aging and illness. Modern nutrition believes that breakfast should account for at least 30% of the whole day's food intake. According to research, skipping breakfast will increase the risk of ischemic stroke and heart attack. Early morning is the time of day when ischemic stroke and heart disease are most likely to occur. This is because after a night of fasting, the serum marker protein P- thromboglobulin (P-TG) increases exponentially, which can increase the activity of platelets in the blood, enhance their cohesion or adhesion, lead to increased blood viscosity and slow blood flow, and greatly increase the risk of ischemic stroke and heart attack. The average concentration of P-TG is 30mg/ml, but it is 7 times higher without breakfast. It is necessary to reduce the incidence of stroke and heart disease through diet to normal levels. Middle-aged people don't eat fried food in the morning. Cheng Bo, a nutritionist at the Nutrition Department of Beijing Medical Hospital of the Ministry of Health, told the reporter that the digestive system of middle-aged people began to decline, so we must pay attention to the quality of breakfast. It is best not to eat fried, hard and greasy food for breakfast, otherwise it will cause indigestion. Breakfast should choose foods that are nutritious and easy to digest and absorb, such as milk, rice porridge and cereal. You can also eat some eggs, preferably boiled eggs or steamed egg soup, instead of fried eggs. After getting up in the morning, get into the habit of drinking a cup of boiled water or light salt water first, which can replenish water and dilute the concentration of blood and stomach acid. It is best to have breakfast half an hour after getting up. If you eat as soon as you get up and have a bad appetite, it will directly stimulate the stomach. If you don't eat breakfast, you will easily get gallstones. Scientists study gallstones and find that it has something to do with skipping breakfast. Because the fasting time is too long, the cholic acid content in bile decreases, while the cholesterol content remains unchanged, thus forming high cholesterol bile, which leads to the deposition of cholesterol in the gallbladder and the formation of the core substance of stones. Scientists believe that people who skip breakfast for a long time and have insufficient cholic acid secretion and high cholesterol are more likely to suffer from lithiasis.
