Breakfast
really is the most important meal of the day. People who skip the morning meal
tend to struggle more with weight problems, as well as low energy all day long.
Why?
The hours between dinner and breakfast are usually the longest span between any
of the meals in the day. While sleeping, the body still needs fuel to keep your
body in working order. That fuel comes from glucose stored in the blood, liver,
and muscles. By morning, the glucose is depleted.
“Breakfast
skippers” can feel fine and full of energy in the first few hours after waking
up, because the body and mind are refreshed after a night’s sleep. But that
energy fades as the increasing demands of the day add stress to a body already
running low on fuel. By lunchtime, even if you eat a healthful meal, regaining
the energy that you would have had if you had eaten breakfast is close to
impossible.
Remember:
Mom was right. Be sure you and your family get a good breakfast every morning.
