Bad Habits One: Skipping your Breakfast

Labels: - Sunday, April 13

"Breakfast is the most important meal! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" or so, grunt my sergent during one of the outfield excercise that I participated. When we have overnight field excercises, and sleep in the forest, in the open, the morning dew would always condense on our uniforms. Imagine waking up in the morning and finding yourself all wet and the next thing is to prepare breakfast to eat. Its really uncomfortable so many would awake, sit very still and wait for the sun to rise. However, without breakfast, some would have headaches later or would not be able to perform their task properly.

Best case scenerio would be to sit down and eat this.

Although its okay a miss one or two breakfast, however, if it becomes a habit, it can be a problem as you get older and your body can no longer keep up with your lifestyle. It would definitely come back to huant you, whatever you eat, its just a matter of when. Missing breakfast would have certain effects, all negative, so if you think of rushing to work or appointment, the least you can do is grab a piece of bread or better still, grab a meal on the way.

I once heard that if you miss a breakfast, the brain would not function as normal, as it does not receive the required amount of energy. Thus, if you compare between two people, with breakfast and without, most likely the latter would be more dull, or be having a bad mood. There is a reason why food for thought is called food for thought.

Also, a fact is that if no breakfast is consumed, the metabolism of the body would be greatly lowered. This means that your body would slow down the burning of fat, as your body is in a starving mode. Then, when you are really hungry and you stuff yourself for lunch or dinner, the calories that you gained would be too much for your body to burn and it would be stored as fat. So for those trying to slim down, skipping breakfast is definitely a big NO, as you might actually get fatter.

Without breakfast, one would also feel more tired and lerthagic in the morning due to low blood sugar. In a more extreme case, you might even faint. In the long run, the stomach would also develop ulcers and then gastric problems.

People who skip breakfast also tend to eat lesser but heavy meals, eat late night snacks, wake up later, eat unhealthy breakfast but that's another bad habit for another day. Bottom line, eat your breakfast.

The best way to start your day.
Wake up earlier and share a breakfast
with your loved ones to start your day!
