Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?

Or can you spend an extra half hour to sleep a little more .

If you are not a person who has a habit of eating breakfast every day, you must have heard this to be dumb.'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day' - this is the catchphrase of parents, doctors and nutritionists. They argue that breakfast will provide energy for the start of the day. Quitting eating breakfast will lead to eating too many harmful foods at the next meal due to hunger, making you gain weight and affecting your overall health.

Breakfast will help energize the start of the day.

So is breakfast really important? Many people have a habit of skipping breakfast because they are not hungry, because they want to sleep for a while, or because they want to lose weight. There have been many studies to protect views against the views of parents. A study conducted on a population of college students showed that quitting breakfast can help reduce up to 400 calories a day, even though lunch can be eaten a little more. Several other studies have tried to find a link between fasting and increasing calorie intake, but the results are still inconclusive. Other studies show that breakfast still has its benefits, including reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Clearly, the results between studies show many conflicting views. These studies have different methods and sample sizes, and this may be the cause of mixed conclusions. Another factor also contributes to the interference of research results, which is that the concept of 'breakfast' varies greatly from person to person. Some people eat immediately after waking up, there are also people who only snack after a few hours of work in the morning. However, there was a study in diabetic patients that showed that this time did not affect the benefits of breakfast for patients.

The benefits of breakfast may not be obvious to adults, but it is important for children.

Although still controversial, the scientific community is very much in agreement with the following two points: First , the benefits of breakfast may not be obvious to adults, but it is important for children. Second , the nutritional composition of breakfast is extremely important . A simple breakfast with only the carbohydrate content will only pump an instant amount of energy, besides, it does not bring any other benefits. In contrast, diets high in fiber and protein are very useful, when proteins provide a longer amount of energy, maintain muscle and bone stability, and help strengthen the body's immune system. Fiber plays a role in lowering blood fat, regulating blood sugar, and improving your bowel movements, helping to facilitate digestion and avoid constipation.

These are very useful suggestions if your breakfast is usually only breaded with milk. If you really care about the benefits of breakfast, it's probably time you have to change your menu.
