The Importance of Eating Breakfast

There is a growing percentage of Americans who skip breakfast. Some believe that skipping breakfast will help them lose weight, but this is far from the truth. In fact, eating breakfast every day may help to reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes, in turn helping to decrease the risk of heart disease.

The brain and central nervous system run on glucose. When people skip breakfast, they're depriviing themselves of glucose, which means the body has to work harder to break down stored carbohydrates, fats and proteins. This may lower concentration levels, problem-solving abilities, mental performance, memory and mood. Breakfast skippers also deprive themselves of nutrients found in many breakfast foods, such as vitamins C and D, calcium, iron and fiber.

When people skip breakfast, they also lose sensitivity to insulin - the key blood-sugar regulating hormone - and heighten their risk for type 2 diabetes. Obesity and rates of insulin resestance syndrome - a pre-diabetic disorder - are up to 50 percent lower in people who eat breakfast every day, compared to those who skip breakfast.

Many people believe that skippiing breakfast will decrease their caloric intake and help them lose weight. Actually, people who don't eat breakfast may overeat later in the day and make up the calories they missed at breakfast. Furthermore, becoming over-hungry distorts satiety signals ( which help to determine when a person is full ) and leads to a lack of control. It is actually much better to eat smaller meals, especially breakfast, an snacks throughout the day than eating just two big meals.

Just as important as eating breakfast regularly, is the quality of breakfast one eats. Eating a healthy breakast is easy, even for people who don't have a lot of time in the morning. A small bag of whole grain cereal, yogurt, juice, granola bar, fruit or even a peanut butter sandwich is a healthy breakfast choice, and is easy to eat on the go.

Before rushing out the door on an empty stomach, remember, you may help to reduce your risk of obesity, diabetes an therefore, heart disease just by eating an apple or granola bar during your commute to work or school.
