Breakfast is commonly regarded as “the most important meal of the day.” But that rises the question of whether or not this sentence is true or just a myth. About 25% of Americans skip this meal every day and it has even become a trend to do so.
So what happens to your body if you don’t have breakfast day?
You may put on weight.
Although the idea that skipping breakfast every day can lead to weight loss, it’s not totally right. Some research has shown that keeping hungry in the morning can cause fatness, not just in children and younger population, but also among the adults.
This may happen because skipping breakfast can make people eat more later on. But one study also showed that skipping breakfast can put on weight even if you don’t overeat for the rest of the day because the body’s inner gets disturbed.
Your mood gets worse.
Skipping breakfast is related with mood disorder among adults. People who don’t eat in the morning are easy to have sadness more often. Also, skipping the first meal of the day 4 or 5 times a week can lead to increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) by 55%. It can also be connected to low blood sugar levels. When one’s blood sugar level goes down, it results in fast mood changes, like being unhappy and getting angry easily.
You feel tired between 12 p. m. and 4 p.m.
In the morning, after a long break without food, your glycogen stores(糖类储备)are low and you need more energy to work well. Once you have breakfast, your body starts to break down fatty acids(脂肪酸)to produce the energy it needs. If you don’t have breakfast, even if you feel good in the morning, you may feel very tired in a few hours.
