Not eating breakfast will cause gallstones

A person usually eats three meals a day, and breakfast can be said to be the most important meal of the day for the human body. After a night of metabolism, people need to supplement a lot of nutrition at this time, so breakfast must be rich in nutrition. However, some people skip breakfast in order to save time in the morning, which may cause them to suffer from many diseases. Some people even develop gallstones due to skipping breakfast.

Skipping breakfast can increase the risk of gallstones: surveys have found that more than 90% of gallstone patients are those who skip breakfast or eat less breakfast. Skipping breakfast or eating less breakfast will result in long fasting time and reduced bile secretion, but the cholesterol content will not change. Over time, excessive cholesterol and bile in the gallbladder will cause gallstones.

Seven major hazards of skipping breakfast

● Skipping breakfast can cause hypoglycemia: After a night’s sleep, the body’s nutrients have been used up, and blood sugar levels are on the low side. Skipping or eating less breakfast will prevent blood sugar levels from being fully replenished in time. In the morning, symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, weakness in the limbs, and lack of energy may occur, and hypoglycemia shock may even occur, affecting normal work.

● It is difficult to lose weight by skipping breakfast: Some people believe that skipping breakfast can reduce calorie intake and reduce weight. In fact, people who skip breakfast often forget about losing weight when it comes to lunch because they are hungry and can't help but eat too much, which causes excess calories in the body, making it not only difficult to lose weight, but also easy to gain weight.

● Skipping breakfast can increase the risk of gallstones: surveys have found that more than 90% of gallstone patients are those who skip breakfast or eat less breakfast. Skipping breakfast or eating less breakfast will result in long fasting time and reduced bile secretion, but the cholesterol content will not change. Over time, excessive cholesterol and bile in the gallbladder will cause gallstones.

● Skipping breakfast can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: During a night's sleep, people lose a lot of water due to explicit or implicit sweating such as breathing and urination. If you skip breakfast or drink water, it may lead to reduced blood volume, blood viscosity, increased platelet aggregation, and easy formation of tiny blood clots, which can easily block the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems and cause disease. Middle-aged and elderly people should pay special attention to this.

● Skipping breakfast can easily lead to stomach problems: Skipping breakfast can change the biological rhythm of the human digestive system, gastrointestinal motility and the secretion of digestive juices. If the digestive juices are not neutralized by food, they will have adverse stimulation to the fasting gastrointestinal mucosa and cause gastritis. In severe cases, it can cause peptic ulcers.

● Skipping breakfast affects intelligence: Experts have found that when the intelligence levels are similar, students who eat breakfast are significantly higher than those who skip breakfast or eat less breakfast. This is because people who skip breakfast will not be able to develop and function normally due to insufficient nutrition and energy in their brains, which will hinder the development of their memory and intelligence over time.

● Skipping breakfast affects life expectancy: Human health and longevity are controlled by the body’s biological clock. Skipping breakfast disrupts the normal operation of the biological clock. The nutrients needed by the body cannot be replenished in time, and the physiological functions will decline. In addition, the various diseases caused by skipping breakfast affect the body, which in turn affects people’s health and longevity.
