As everyone spends more time at home, so does the time they spend in bed. I basically lay down until about 10:11 o'clock and got up to make lunch directly. Breakfast or something, has not eaten for a while.
"Breakfast was the most important meal of the day!" This is our common saying, but intuition tells us: it seems that not eating breakfast, the impact is not big?
Putting aside the impact of the epidemic, many people have the habit of not eating breakfast, and some light fasting practices are not eating breakfast. But is this really good?
Effects of long-term skipping breakfast
- Gastrointestinal problems
The English for breakfast is breakfast, and break is "breaking", which is the first meal of the day. After 7-8 hours of sleep, the blood sugar level in the body is in a relatively low state. If we don't get replenished in time, we may feel dizzy, weak, flustered, etc.
Not to mention that not eating breakfast for a long time will be detrimental to the body, as long as we do not eat a meal, we can feel the difference at the moment.
Due to the long-term failure to eat breakfast, the stomach and intestines will secrete too much stomach acid. If the stomach digests the first meal after getting up every day is a high-oil, high-salt lunch, it will cause a gastrointestinal burden. Over time, there will be problems such as indigestion, gastritis, stomach ulcers and so on.
- Gallstones
The formation of gallstones is caused by the inability of bile in the gallbladder to be discharged normally, and the crystals are precipitated and gradually calcified.
Because the secretion of bile is a long-term and continuous process, even if you sleep, the gallbladder will secrete bile. Together with the intake of food, it can promote the discharge of bile from the gallbladder. So if you don't get up in the morning and eat breakfast in time, it will lead to bile not being discharged in time. Over time, there will be stones.
Therefore, in fact, not only is it easy to have gallstones without eating breakfast, as long as you miss any of the three meals in the daily life, it will lead to the gallbladder not being able to discharge bile in time, which in turn will lead to gallstones. So gallstones this pot can not just be breakfast one person back.
Since the reasons why bile cannot be excreted are many, not eating three meals in time is just one of them. It also includes factors such as age, gender, obesity, pregnancy, diet, genetics, etc.
In general, women are more likely to have gallstones, especially obese women and women after pregnancy, whose estrogen levels also affect bile excretion.
- Cardiovascular diseases
Back to the problem of eating breakfast we said, in addition to the stomach and gallstones mentioned above, there are also possible cardiovascular diseases, such as arteriosclerosis. Because of long-term non-eating of breakfast, it is easy to deposit LDL in the inner wall of blood vessels, resulting in arteriosclerosis.
If there is a history of cardiovascular-related disease, it is better not to skip breakfast.
Of course, this is a special period, and the ingredients are limited. We may not be able to figure out much in the combination of breakfast. But if you can, try to focus on high-protein foods. In the simplest, eating a hard-boiled egg (plus a fruit is perfect) is also better than not eating it at all.
Three meals a day is our general consensus, or not to break the rules of daily life that we follow. When it's time to eat breakfast, it's better to get up early
