Endocrinologists have made corrections to the generally accepted idea about the importance of an early breakfast. According to their recommendations, you should not force yourself to eat immediately after waking up, as this can be not only useless, but also harmful to the body.
A new understanding of metabolism
Traditionally, it was believed that an early breakfast helps to "speed up" the metabolism and promotes better assimilation of nutrients during the day. However, according to new research, it takes time for the body to naturally experience hunger after sleep.
Artificial stimulation of appetite can disrupt natural processes in the body and negatively affect metabolism.
Individual approach to breakfast
Endocrinologists emphasize the importance of listening to your body. If the feeling of hunger appears later, it is quite normal to have breakfast even at lunchtime.
The main thing is not to force yourself to eat, as this can lead to indigestion and other health problems.
Advantages of natural hunger
Waiting for a real feeling of hunger before breakfast has a number of advantages:
- Better absorption of nutrients
- Natural regulation of appetite
- Reducing the risk of overeating
- Improvement of the work of the digestive system
Experts emphasize that this approach allows the body to independently regulate the need for food, which contributes to a healthier and more balanced diet in the long term.
