What are the dangers of not eating breakfast in the morning

My friends and their couple watched TV and played games until very late at night. In the morning, they stayed up late and went to work without eating breakfast. After a long time, both of them suffered from stomach problems. Only then did they realize the importance of eating breakfast. In fact, we should not only eat breakfast, but also eat it well, after all, it is the first meal of the day. There are many harmful effects of not eating breakfast in the morning, which are listed here.

1. Easy to gain weight

Because skipping breakfast and the fasting state caused by intense exercise will reduce the sugar content in the blood, and low blood sugar will promote the secretion of growth hormone; then consuming a large amount of food will make the secretion of growth hormone more vigorous, and tissue fat will continue to increase. If you continue this lifestyle, fat will continue to accumulate.

2. It will seriously affect memory. According to experts, the brain's energy comes from glucose, a type of sugar that can only accumulate in the liver and kidneys and can only be stored for eight hours. If you don’t eat in the morning, your brain will lack energy and cause memory loss.

3. Susceptibility to chronic diseases

If you start your day's work without eating breakfast for a long time, your empty stomach will mobilize glands such as the thyroid, parathyroid, and pituitary gland to burn tissues in order to obtain energy. This will not only cause hyperfunction of the glands, but will also make your body acidic, making you prone to chronic diseases in the long run. As for the current symptoms, they are not good. I yawn all day long, and my blood circulation is poor, which causes dark circles under my eyes.

4. Stomach and intestinal discomfort.

People who often skip breakfast may also have stomach and intestinal problems.

If you do not eat after dinner and do not eat until noon the next day, your stomach will be empty for a long time, which can easily cause gastritis and gastric ulcers.

5. Bowel movements may also be abnormal. When you eat in the morning, your body usually produces a "gastrocolic reflex"; when the brain transmits the effect of the gastrocolic reflex to the excretory system, the large intestine begins to react and excrete the waste previously retained in the large intestine. If you often skip breakfast, the gastrocolic reflex will gradually weaken, eventually causing constipation, which may lead to more serious lesions in the long run.

6. Induce gallstones. When people are on an empty stomach in the morning, the cholesterol saturation in the bile in the body is higher. Eating breakfast is beneficial to the excretion of bile from the gallbladder; otherwise, it is easy for the cholesterol in the bile to precipitate and form stones. A survey of women with gallstones by British scholars found that the disease was related to not eating breakfast for a long time.

The above is an introduction to the dangers of not eating breakfast in the morning. Some people say that you should eat breakfast like an emperor and dinner like a beggar, which fully shows that breakfast is very important, but dinner can be simpler. The direct harm of not eating breakfast may be gastrointestinal diseases. I would like to remind everyone to pay more attention to this aspect.
