Although it is well known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, too many people still limit themselves to consuming a coffee or little more before starting the day.
Skipping breakfast has been shown to expose the body to a number of risks and problems.
Here are 5 reasons why it is important to do it:
1• THE BODY NEEDS ENERGY
Just as a car needs gasoline to start, the body needs energy to start the day and face all its commitments.
2• IT IS A GOOD SOURCE OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS
Yogurt, cereals, fresh fruit, dried fruit, jam, honey, wholemeal bread or biscuits are essential foods for a healthy breakfast. Rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, they give the right energy for the whole morning, prolong the feeling of satiety, do not tire the digestive system, improve physical resistance, attention span and memory.
3• HELPS YOU EAT LESS DURING THE DAY
Skipping breakfast is not the best way to maintain your ideal weight, in fact, by mid-morning you will feel the famous "hole in the stomach" and you will want to continuously eat all kinds of snacks. Furthermore, you will arrive at lunchtime hungry and will eat more than necessary.
4• PROTECTS THE HEART
A good breakfast can also help reduce the risk of chronic degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.
One of the main reasons is linked to the fact that, by eating properly in the morning, you avoid consuming caloric foods that contain high percentages of fats, especially saturated fats, which are harmful to the health of the cardiovascular system, during the day.
5• WITHOUT BREAKFAST THE METABOLISM SLOWS DOWN
Skipping breakfast has been shown to trigger metabolic mechanisms that slow down weight loss.
For this reason, it is recommended to divide the day into three main meals, starting with breakfast, and possibly add small snacks during the day.
