Goodmorning steemians
Research findings suggest that eating breakfast regularly will promote a healthy weight. As a matter of fact, it has been shown that dieters who eat breakfast lose on average 50% more weight than dieters who skip breakfast! Additionally, when we eat breakfast, cortisol is restored to normal levels, but if we skip breakfast it remains elevated, which will increase fat storage in the abdominal area due to higher amounts of cortisol receptors in this area. Skipping breakfast may also cause us to overeat at other meals throughout the day, leading to an excess in overall caloric intake.
We have all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, whether it was ingrained in your head by your parents growing up, or we see it in advertisements on TV and magazines. But do you know why it’s the most important meal?
Breakfast is the first opportunity we have to give our body energy to perform our daily physical and mental activities. When we wake up, we are in a fasted state so eating breakfast will bring our body’s energy and blood glucose levels back to normal.
