Five Important Healthy
Eating Facts About Breakfast
- Research increasingly links skipping breakfast with long-lasting weight gain.
That's because eating the right kind of breakfast will stoke your metabolic furnace throughout the day and will keep weight gain at bay. Adults who have breakfast have an easier time staying lean; those who don't are 460 times more likely to gain weight. - Research has shown that if you've lost weight, you'll keep it off by eating breakfast.
The National Weight Control Registry followed 5,000 people who lost a minimum of 30 pounds and had kept it off for a year. 78% said they ate breakfast every day, 90% said they had breakfast 4 days a week. - If you don't eat breakfast your body will think you are starving and your metabolism will slow down.
If you eat dinner at 7:00 p.m. and don't eat again until noon the next day, your body has been fasting for 17 hours! It will interpret this 'fast' as a sign that you are starving and slow everything down. This is not good for your energy levels OR for getting and staying lean! Side note: did you notice --- breakfast is: break-the-fast? Nifty, huh? - You wake up hungry and parched because while asleep your body's very busy burning fuel and repairing itself.
A night without eating leaves blood-sugar levels at their lowest. Since blood sugar, or glucose, is the fuel the brain and body needs to function well, if you don't eat or drink water, you'll feel sluggish and not think very clearly. - Eating breakfast can positively effect your late-morning mood, help control overeating and improve mental clarity.
According to the University of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical School, "Breakfast can establish the tone for the next 16 hours of each day after eating it."
"Never work before breakfast; if you have to work
before breakfast, eat your breakfast first."
---Josh Billings These healthy eating facts highlight the power breakfast can have toward: - Creating and keeping a leaner you.
- Getting more energy and motivation at work (and at home).
- Helping you create more Wake Up Eager days.
I must make sure you know - I am not a trained nutritionist. Also, I didn't grow up with a family who practiced regular healthy eating habits. I remember getting myself up in the mornings for school and grabbing cake for breakfast. Or nothing. I have studied and learned from the best. To see the experts I've learned from and referenced for this healthy eating facts, recipes and tips article series, click here. These resources have helped me cultivate a new habit around breakfast. And you can too... if you want. "I love the sweet smell of dawn -
our unique daily opportunity to smell time,
to smell opportunity -
each morning being, a new beginning."
