Compared with young people, the elderly generally pay more attention to breakfast. Old people know that skipping breakfast is bad for their stomachs, so they all eat breakfast on time. Although middle-aged and elderly people can eat breakfast on time, they often don't know if breakfast is right. For example, many old people like to drink rice porridge all night in the morning and eat a fried dough-strips steamed stuffed bun, which makes them feel nourishing and healthy, but this idea is not correct.
First of all, we should understand the disadvantages of skipping breakfast.
Affect the working state
This is the most direct impact on our body, and it doesn't need to be accumulated over time. As long as you don't eat for a day, you can obviously feel it. Many people feel bad appetite when they get up in the morning, or they often forget to eat breakfast because they are afraid of trouble. However, skipping breakfast can easily lead us to be hungry all morning. At first, I didn't feel anything, especially at noon. Hunger was very tormenting. At noon, many people fainted from hunger. Naturally, there is no way to study and work well, which seriously affects our work and life.
Lead to gallstones
Having said that, many people will start to doubt again. How to think that skipping breakfast is also related to the stomach? How can it be related to gallstones? This is because when we eat, our gallbladder secretes bile to help us digest food. However, if we don't eat breakfast for a long time, the bile in the gallbladder will accumulate and can't be excreted, and it is easy to produce some solid substances. After a long time, it is easy to form gallstones as we know.
Suffer from stomach trouble
Even those who often skip breakfast, I believe they know it well. If we often skip breakfast, our stomachs will produce a lot of gastric acid, but there is no food for them to digest. These gastric acids will start to damage the gastric mucosa of our stomach, and skipping breakfast for a long time will lead to stomach problems. Common diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer are often caused by not eating breakfast.
hypoglycemia
Skipping breakfast will definitely cause hypoglycemia. If we don't eat breakfast, our bodies can't get sugar supplements in time, especially because after a night of digestion, our stomachs are already empty, which is the time to replenish energy. If you don't eat breakfast at this time, your blood sugar will naturally drop, and you will be prone to dizziness, fatigue, nausea and other diseases, and even serious shock problems will occur.
Affect the brain
Hypoglycemia caused by skipping breakfast will do some harm to our brain. This is because our brain is an important organ of the human body and needs a considerable amount of sugar for energy supply. If you don't eat breakfast, the sugar supply will be insufficient, which will have some adverse effects on the human brain.
Knowing that there are so many dangers in eating breakfast, I believe everyone has begun to eat breakfast actively. But we often have some misunderstandings about breakfast, especially middle-aged and elderly people, who often don't choose the right breakfast. For example, the rice porridge that many people like to drink for breakfast is actually not suitable.
Why is rice porridge not suitable for breakfast?
First of all, the nutritional components of rice porridge are too single, basically only carbohydrates. Usually, we need fat, protein and many vitamins. A bowl of rice porridge can basically supply nothing but carbohydrates, except energy, which is not helpful to our health. Especially our common breakfast, rice porridge with steamed bread, rice porridge with fried dough sticks and the like, is basically carbohydrates plus carbohydrates, and the nutrients are too single, which is actually harmful to the body.
Secondly, when rice porridge is cooked, it is generally sticky, so the glycemic index of rice porridge is very high, which can easily lead to a rapid rise of blood sugar after meals, especially for people with diabetes or hyperglycemia, which can easily have a bad impact on our health.
What should I eat for the correct breakfast?
First of all, even breakfast can't be handled casually. You must ensure that it is nutritious. Carbohydrate, protein, fat and vitamins should be taken in. It says that rice porridge is not recommended, but it doesn't mean that it can't be drunk. People with diabetes and hyperglycemia had better not drink it. Others can drink it, but rice porridge is definitely not the main thing.
Common pasta porridge has ensured our carbohydrate supply, so we should pay attention to protein's supplement and eat some lean meat or milk, which are good sources of protein. Protein's supplement can increase satiety and delay our hunger, and there will be no scene where evil spirits are reincarnated at noon.
Secondly, pay attention to the supplement of fat. Proper release can promote bile secretion, reduce the risk of gallstones and provide more energy for breakfast. You can eat some pork properly, but the easiest way is to eat an egg. Eggs are rich in protein and fat, which can be said to be an excellent breakfast choice.
Finally, you should pay attention to vitamin supplements for breakfast and eat more fruits and vegetables. For example, some people who like to drink rice porridge can put more green leafy vegetables in the porridge, and vegetable porridge is a good choice. However, porridge should not be cooked for a long time, and it is easy to lose a lot of vitamins. At this time, you can eat some fruits to supplement vitamins, such as apples, pears, bananas, etc., which are simple and convenient vitamin supplements.
