Breakfast is a habit that many consider innocent or even useful. However, nutritionists warn that morning meal is key to health, and refusing it can have serious consequences.
According to Christie King, a senior clinical nutritionist from a Texas Children's Hospital, people who regularly miss breakfast have an increased risk of developing diabetes of the second type, obesity, as well as failures in hormonal regulation, which causes insulin problems, heart attacks and hypertension.
In addition, morning meal is an important source of fiber, vitamins and nutrients that may not be enough during the day. "Breakfast gives the body starts, supports energy levels and helps to think clearly," King explains.
Another danger is sharp fluctuations in blood sugar. Their consequences are fatigue, irritability, poor mood and reduction of cognitive functions.
Equally important aspect is immunity. Nutritionist Teleczib Lalani emphasizes that the body needs regular nutrition to support T-cells fighting infections. Without breakfast, their effectiveness is reduced.
At the physical level, it can manifest in the form of headache, dizziness and lethargy caused by lack of glucose - the main source of energy for the brain.
The conclusion is simple: breakfast is not just a habit, but a need. Its pass can cost health.
