Seven Harms of Skipping Breakfast
● Skipping breakfast will cause hypoglycemia: After a night's sleep, the body's nutrition has been exhausted, and the blood sugar concentration is in a low state. If you don't eat breakfast or eat less, you can't fully replenish the blood sugar concentration in time. In the morning, you will have dizziness, palpitation, limb weakness, listlessness and other symptoms, and even hypoglycemia shock, which will affect your normal work.
● It is difficult to skip breakfast: Some people think that skipping breakfast can reduce calorie intake and lose weight. In fact, people who don't eat breakfast often forget to eat too much at lunch because of hunger, resulting in excess calories, which is not only difficult, but also easy to get fat.
● People who skip breakfast are prone to cholelithiasis: The survey found that more than 90% of patients with cholelithiasis are people who skip breakfast or eat less breakfast. If you don't eat breakfast or eat less breakfast, the fasting time will be too long, and the bile secretion will decrease, but the cholesterol content will not change. Over time, too much cholesterol and bile in the gallbladder will cause gallstones.
● Skipping breakfast is easy to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: during a night's sleep, people lose a lot of water due to dominant or non-dominant sweating such as breathing and urination. If they skip breakfast or drink water, their blood volume will be reduced, their blood will be sticky, their platelet aggregation will increase, tiny thrombi will easily form, and they will easily block the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to this.
● Skipping breakfast is prone to stomach trouble: skipping breakfast can change the biological rhythm of human digestive system, gastrointestinal peristalsis and the secretion of digestive juice. If digestive juice is not neutralized by food, it will cause bad stimulation to the gastrointestinal mucosa on an empty stomach, causing gastritis and, in severe cases, peptic ulcer.
● Not eating breakfast affects intelligence: Experts found that students who eat breakfast are significantly higher than those who don't eat breakfast or eat less when their intelligence level is almost the same. This is because people who don't eat breakfast, their brains will not develop and operate normally due to lack of nutrition and energy, which will hinder the development of memory and intelligence for a long time.
● Skipping breakfast affects life span: The health and longevity of human body depend on the biological clock of human body. Skipping breakfast disrupts the normal operation of biological clock, and the nutrients needed by the body cannot be replenished in time, and the physiological function will decline. In addition, the effects of various diseases brought by skipping breakfast on the body are affecting people's health and longevity.
