Often, taking care of slimness or because of the banal "overslept", many people refuse breakfast, saying, coffee now, and I'll catch up at lunch.
However, nutritionists are categorical in this matter: you should always have breakfast, because this meal means much more to the body than it might seem, and directly affects the course of the coming day.
The nutritionist explained why it is necessary to eat in the morning, and how to develop this habit.
Daily energy charge
In the morning, the body especially needs nourishment, especially if you don't tend to have a late or hearty dinner. And a full meal (and not a cup of coffee with milk and sugar, as many are used to) can satisfy the need for strength and energy.
Yes, it is the morning meal that increases your work capacity and efficiency by 30%.
Increasing stress resistance
A full body reacts to stress much more easily. Numerous studies show that people who eat breakfast regularly are less prone to stress and its negative consequences than those who refuse to eat in the morning.
Improving brain function
Even if you don't feel hungry after waking up, that doesn't mean your body doesn't need to be fed. So, after active night processes in organs and systems, there is, again, a colossal lack of energy. And with such a deficit, as is known, all cognitive functions decrease.
In addition, as a result of research, it has been proven that in people who systematically eat breakfast, age-related damage to brain structures slows down, which delays the development of such diseases as, for example, Alzheimer's disease.
SARS prevention
As doctors' observations show, patients who are not used to breakfast are more likely to get sick with various viral and bacterial infections.
All because the presence of breakfast also affects the strength of immunity. Thus, due to the lack of a timely morning meal (an hour to an hour and a half after waking up), digestive enzymes "burn out", which has a bad effect on the state of the body's protective functions.
Caring for the figure
It may seem to some that by giving up breakfast, you can lose weight or at least maintain your figure. However, this is not the case at all. The fact is that eating in the morning "ignites" proper digestion, while everything you eat in the first half of the day is converted into energy, not subcutaneous fat.
Moreover, a full breakfast insures you against the constant desire to snack during the day, which also has a positive effect on the condition of the figure.
How to teach yourself to eat breakfast?
Our expert advises choosing porridge (any kind), eggs or light meat for the first meal. But if you are not used to eating after waking up, you need to accustom yourself gradually ("choking" because of force from the first day is unlikely to benefit your well-being).
"In order to enter the regime, prepare yogurt for the first breakfast (even a couple of tablespoons will already help to "swing"). The next day, you can add dried fruits or cereals (for example, chia seeds or flax) to yogurt, then an egg with toast. Yes, in a week you will develop a habit (like drinking a cup of tea or coffee without opening your eyes), you will begin to feel full hunger and you will no longer forget about this important morning ritual," says the doctor.
