  • 2016

Breakfast is the most important food of the day as it " starts " the metabolic functions so that the body functions properly the next 16 or more hours when it will be awake and active.

The body is spending calories all the time because it is working all the time even if we are asleep. It seems that when sleeping, the body does not "do anything", but nothing is further from reality. When we sleep the metabolism performs vital functions: it releases hormones, regenerates tissues, uses nutrients, etc. All these metabolic functions involve energy expenditure. These calories used during the night are not replenished since they are hours where you do not eat. This fast is normal, but should not be prolonged.

After a good night's rest, blood sugar (glucose) levels are very low. You have been without eating for 6-10 hours. Your body is basically empty in the morning. Eat breakfast, break the fast and replenish glucose levels. So you have to have breakfast .

But what happens if you don't have breakfast? Many times in the morning there is no feeling of hunger or appetite, that is why so many people simply skip that meal time and eat something, if they do well, in the middle of the morning and If not, even the food.

When skipping breakfast, the metabolism is not made to walk the natural mechanisms but the alert ones because it supposes that there is famine and that puts it under stress. When stressed, it releases substances that make it slower, help you store calories (in the form of fat) and get energy from substances that you should not use (use muscle mass ). So instead of feeling good, we feel bad. There is bad mood, headache, tiredness, sleepiness, constipation, malnutrition, among other consequences.
