The Relationship between Breakfast and Weight Gain
We are not even aware that some disorders are brought about by wrong breakfast intake. No wonder more and more people right now are developing diabetes and heart ailments among others. Top "killers" of our time.
When I was a kid, diseases like diabetes or heart ailments are mostly genetic. Now, this is no longer the case. In Time Magazine, in 176 Million diabetes cases worldwide, 80% of that are due to obesity. The bigger the belly, the higher the health risk! That is quite alarming!
It is a fat world out there and it is more alarming that people are clueless why. It is really important to know these things. If you want to save your health, read on to find out how.
What did you have for breakfast today?
CARBOHYDRATES-BASED BREAKFAST
In the morning simple carbohydrates (white rice, white bread, sugary refined cereals, toast, etc.) cause an immediate surge of blood sugar level which results to substantial emission of insulin. The insulin removes sugar from the blood turning its excess into fat. The result is a decreased level of blood sugar, and craving for more carbs. This cycle repeats itself 2 to 3 times during the day. You overwork your pancreas to emit insulin. This vicious cycle constitutes one of the major reasons for diabetes, high blood pressure and extra weight.
SKIPPING BREAKFAST
When you skip breakfast, blood sugar drops below the normal level, you experience cravings and a drop in energy. You again revert to simple carbohydrates to achieve a quick surge of blood sugar and to overcome hunger and experience increased energy. Simple carbohydrates will cause an immediate surge of blood sugar level and a substantial insulin emission. The insulin removes the sugar from the blood turning its excess into fat. This cycle repeats itself 2 to 3 times during the day. You overwork your pancreas to emit insulin. This vicious cycle constitutes one of the major reasons for diabetes, high blood sugar and extra weight.
BALANCED PROTEIN-BASED BREAKFAST
Such a breakfast supplies our body with all vital nutrients and energy without increasing blood sugar and insulin levels. It helps to avoid dependence on carbs during the day. This way appetite stays under control, cravings for carbs (snacks, chocolate, pastry, junk foods, soft drinks, etc.) diminish and the body uses its own stored fats to get more energy.
An immediate surge of blood sugar level which results to substantial emission of insulin is also the reason why we feel sleepy after lunch, tired during the day, get sudden headaches…all because of a faulty breakfast choice. Do not overwork your pancreas to emit insulin. So what did you have for breakfast today? Now that you know, what are you going to do about it? You decide now or be sorry later.
Get your healthy breakfast now!
