Is the mad morning rush or an attempt to cut down calories making you skip breakfast? Then that’s probably the biggest mistake you are making when it comes to your diet because you’re missing out on vital nutrients and setting yourself up for sugar cravings and possible weight gain. Here’s why you should never skip breakfast, ever!
Energy boost
Indulge in a big breakfast! Breakfast like eggs stabilises your blood glucose level and provides you with lean protein for an energy filled day. And when you start your day with proteins it curbs you appetite by making you eat healthy and crave less junk food throughout the day.
Feeds your brain cells
Breakfast restores the body's glucose level which is the most important resource for your brain to function effectively. Glucose improves your memory and alertness and maximises your brain's functioning capacity that helps you concentrate a lot better throughout the day.
Weight maintenance
When you skip breakfast your metabolism rate slows down and remains low for the rest of the day. This makes it harder for your body to use up the energy you get from foods you eat later thus making you crave junk food that is high on negative calories—something that will affect your diet as well as waist size.
Fights stress
Foods that contain Vitamin C, proteins, carbohydrates and Omega-3 fatty acids like oranges, idlis and walnuts have the ability to moderate our body’s level of cortisol, the stress hormone. The foods help keep cortisol levels at bay, hence your body finds easier to fight stress over a period of time when you have a healthy breakfast.
Prevents Type-2 Diabetes
Eating breakfast that packs a punch of protein and fat prevents a spike in blood sugar levels all day long. Opting for eggs or almonds or peanut butter every morning helps maintain insulin, a hormone released by the pancreas to transport glucose into the cells, which is responsible for maintaining low blood sugar levels. Skipping breakfast drops your insulin levels and leads to its constant fluctuation that, when you’re much older, could lead to type-2 diabetes.
