It’s nice to have a good breakfast when you wake up. Eating breakfast can refresh one’s mind, make one full of vitality, and increase one’s sense of happiness. However, in today’s busy society, many office workers are lazy to eat breakfast. The reason may be that they get up too late in the morning to have time to eat breakfast, or they deliberately do not eat it in order to lose weight. Little do we know that skipping breakfast for a long time can easily lead to various health problems.
Skipping breakfast has these dangers
1、 Reduced reaction capacity
After a night’s rest, when you get up in the morning, your blood sugar is at its lowest. Your brain is very sensitive to the demand for blood sugar. If blood sugar can’t be supplied adequately, your brain’s activity is easy to be slow, and you will have slow response, fatigue, lack of energy, and even faint because of hypoglycemia. A nutritious breakfast can provide one third of the energy required by the human body in a day, which is very helpful to support normal work and study.
2、 Cause gastrointestinal weakness
Skipping breakfast will cause a long time interval between meals and affect the normal peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract. At noon, they will eat a lot because of hunger, which will suddenly increase the burden of gastrointestinal digestion. In order to digest a large amount of food, the gastrointestinal tract has to speed up its peristalsis, resulting in fatigue. In the long run, it is easy to cause problems such as insufficient gastrointestinal motility and indigestion.
3、 Susceptible to gallstones
Bile is also an important part of digestive function. If you don’t eat for a long time, bile is easy to concentrate. Generally speaking, the lunch time of ordinary office workers is about 12 o’clock. It has been more than ten hours since the dinner the previous day. During this period, the liver and gallbladder will constantly secrete bile. If you don’t eat breakfast, the bile will not be discharged because you haven’t eaten for a long time, so the concentration of bile stored in the bile bladder will become higher. Over time, the gallbladder wall will absorb the water and salt in concentrated bile, resulting in the precipitation of excessive bile fixation and gallstones.
4、 Easy to get fat
Why do you get fat without breakfast? This is because after a whole morning of work and study, and without breakfast, there will be a strong sense of hunger at lunch time, so many people will gobble up a lot of food to get satisfaction when eating lunch, feeling that this can make up for breakfast. A large amount of food in a short time will cause a large amount of energy storage in the body, and a long time will also cause obesity, and wolfing down is more conducive to the formation of obesity.
5、 Increased risk of diabetes
Studies have found that men who skip breakfast have a 25% increased risk of diabetes compared with those who regularly eat three meals a day. Even if other factors that may lead to diabetes are removed, such as genetic and disease-induced pancreatic islet dysfunction, or even the influence of weight change is eliminated, skipping breakfast will increase the risk of diabetes by 16%. Therefore, even if it does not cause weight gain, people who do not eat breakfast are still more likely to suffer from diabetes.
For the sake of health, everyone must have a good breakfast every day. Never skip breakfast to save trouble or lose weight. Eating breakfast is not only to satisfy your appetite, but also to provide sufficient energy for your work and study during the day and lay a foundation for a healthy body.
