Most people know the importance of eating breakfast. Yet, I have observed that this is the most often skipped meal by people of all ages. The usual excuses- “I got up late”, “I’m running late for work/school/college”, “I do not have time”, “I do not like this” to sum up a few. And there are a few who think that skipping breakfast may help in weight loss. In fact, people do gain weight when they skip breakfast!
The importance of breakfast lies in its meaning- to break the fast! How does one expect to go through an entire day’s activity without fuelling their body? Without fuel, a car does not start. This is what will happen to our bodies too. Fatigue, low levels of concentration or binge eating at other meals are a few of the body’s responses to not breaking the fast. Long-term effects include micronutrient deficiencies, shifts in body weight or metabolic disorders.
Let us reflect on the benefits and options of a good breakfast as a prerequisite for a healthy lifestyle.
