Six Reasons You Should Not Skip Breakfast by chunny01(m): 5:46am On Nov 09, 2013
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,
but many people skip this meal. Most people
have very busy schedules, and that leaves little
time to eat breakfast. However, you should try
your best to eat a nutritious meal before you
start your day. There are a number of benefits
that you can reap from eating breakfast.

1.) Energy Boost
If you feel sluggish in the morning, then a
nutritious breakfast can give you the energy that
you need to get through your day. Fiber, vitamin
C and vitamin D are just a few of the many
nutrients that will help increase your energy
level. Whole wheat toast with eggs and an
orange is an example of a nutritious breakfast.

2.) Help You Focus Better
It will be much easier for you to focus on work or
school if your stomach is full. On the other hand,
you will have a harder time focusing if you skip
breakfast. When you are hungry, it is hard to
think about anything else except for food.

3.) Prevent You From Gaining Weight
Researchers have found that people who skip
breakfast are more likely to be overweight.When
you skip breakfast, you are much more likely to
overeat during lunch and dinner. Additionally,
you encourage your body to store calories when
you skip breakfast.

4.) Boost Your Metabolism
Your metabolism has a tendency to decrease
when you go to sleep. Eating breakfast helps
you jumpstart your metabolism. A faster
metabolism will allow you to burn more calories
throughout the day. That is another reason why
regular breakfast eaters usually weigh less.

5.) Help Decrease Your LDL Cholesterol
Your LDL cholesterol is better known as the
“bad” type of cholesterol. LDL cholesterol builds
up in your arteries and can increase your
chances of developing heart disease. Studies
have shown that eating breakfast regularly can
help lower LDL cholesterol.

6.) Prevent Heart Attacks
A new study done by Harvard School of Public
Health has shown that people who skip
breakfast may be at a greater risk for having a
heart attack. Skipping breakfast increases the
risk of high cholesterol, obesity, high blood
pressure and diabetes, which are all heart
disease risk factors. Therefore, you may be able
to reduce your risk of having a heart attack if you
eat breakfast.

It is very important for you to make time for your
morning meal. A healthy breakfast will increase
your metabolism, boost your energy, help you
focus and lower your bad cholesterol. It can also
prevent you from gaining weight and reduce your
risk of having a heart attack
