Remember when your parent would patiently get you out of bed in the morning to have you eat your breakfast? It turns out, scientifically speaking, that it’s a crucial meal you must not skip. Whether it’s the egg sandwich you eat while on the go or the corned beef hash you share with your family, your breakfast can help kickstart your day better.
Here are the nine ultimate reasons why you should pay more importance to this meal.
It jump-starts your metabolism. After your digestive system takes a break burning calories during the evening, the meal you eat in the morning wakes your metabolism up. So compared to skipping breakfasts, taking one actually helps burn calories better throughout the day.
It’s a great time to give your body essential nutrients. The human body is designed to function more optimally once it receives the essential nutrients it needs (i.e., those nutrients that are not readily available in the body). Simple breakfasts like fruits or smoked fish can provide your body just that — and help keep you loaded for the rest of the day.
It helps manage your blood sugar. Unfortunately, skipping meals at the start of your day can negatively impact blood sugar levels. And in the long run, it can even increase your risk of developing diabetes.
It enhances your mood for the day. With low blood glucose levels, your mood will also be affected. If you don’t want to get irritable while you do work or attend school in the morning, it’s best not to ignore that cheese omelette your mom had prepared.
It prevents you from experiencing headaches. Food is the body’s fuel. If you don’t fill in your stomach with something in the morning, it’s inevitable for you to feel lightheaded and dizzy. Take it as your body telling you that they need to get some fuel to perform your tasks better.
It improves concentration. By avoiding having headaches, you’ll be able to focus more on the activities at hand. Without eating a breakfast meal, you’re likely to feel sluggish, hindering you from having that much-needed concentration to accomplish what you need to accomplish.
It helps you avoid unhealthy cravings later in the day. No breakfast? It can make you feel angry and ravenous at the same time. These feelings prompt you to stress-eat and give in to unhealthy cravings. Avoid falling into that situation, and better eat those bagels and buttermilk pancakes on your dining table.
It helps with memory enhancement and anti-aging. Eating meals in the morning can’t only improve concentration and brain function immediately. In the long run, it can also boost your memory. And speaking of age-related issues, breakfasts can also be helpful to achieve a healthier aging process. It aids in the so-called autophagy, which is the body’s way of clearing out dysfunctions and even cancerous growths.
It promotes better immunity. With improved mood, concentration, and bodily functions, eating breakfast ultimately leads to better immunity. Research states that depriving your body of the food and nutrients it needs can damage the cell and affect their performance (especially the body’s fighter cells called the T-cells).
