The wind is howling and the rain is hammering down outside, another fifteen minutes in bed beckons as you hit the snooze button. It’s warm and cozy, but what if it means then you have no time for breakfast?
Many say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day – breaking the over night fast when you’ve been asleep. Your body has been using energy for repair during the night and a healthy breakfast helps to replace it for the day ahead.
Can eating breakfast help your waistline?
Studies have shown that there is an impact on your waistline for the better if you regularly eat breakfast, and not just breakfast. Breakfast eaters also tend to make healthier choices throughout the day which contributes to healthier weight management.
What about breakfast skippers?
If eating breakfast can help with weight loss, what happens if you miss out? It’s not just weight gain through possibly making poorer choices later in the day because you are hungry, but skipping breakfast has been associated with a 20% higher risk of type 2 diabetes in women and a 21% higher risk in men.
So is breakfast the most important meal?
All meals are as important as each other. The importance shouldn’t be on a single meal but more on eating healthy balanced meals over the course of the day will help with weight management and your health overall.
To snooze or not?
