The right time for breakfast: why the first meal affects weight and well-being

The problem of weight control is often related not only to the calorie content of the diet, but also to the time when we eat. This is especially true of breakfast, because it is it that starts metabolic processes and determines the level of energy for the whole day. Scientific studies and recommendations of nutritionists confirm: the time of the first meal is important for metabolism and stability of blood sugar levels.

A breakfast that contains both protein and complex carbohydrates provides stable nutrition for the body. Proteins support a feeling of satiety and tissue repair, while slow carbohydrates provide energy gradually, without provoking sharp glucose spikes. This combination helps to avoid overeating throughout the day and promotes a healthy metabolism.

The approach to creating a morning menu is based on the body's natural rhythms. In the first hours after waking up, cortisol levels increase, which prepares the body for activity and improves the ability to process nutrients. That is why nutritionists advise having breakfast between 7:00 and 10:00 in the morning. This interval allows you to coordinate the work of the digestive system with hormonal processes.

Nutritionists also emphasize the importance of choosing the right foods: eggs, natural yogurt, fish, legumes, and nuts are sources of quality protein, while whole grains, fruits, and vegetables provide the necessary carbohydrates. Such a diet helps keep weight under control, maintain energy, and improve concentration throughout the day.

A systematic approach to breakfast allows not only to normalize weight, but also to optimize the work of the entire body. The right time and balanced composition of the first meal are one of the simplest, but most effective tools for improving health.
