7. 10 Reasons Why Skipping Breakfast Is A No!

Oversleeping, nothing to wear, being late for office, traffic, or starving yourself for transformation, these are some reasons people give in to skipping breakfast. Whatever your reason is, it's not at all worthy to compromise on a healthy breakfast. We all are so busy running after things that sometimes we tend to become careless with our health.

Breakfast is the first and the most important meal of the day. There is a massive gap between dinner and lunch, so if you skip this meal, that is definitely going to show up on your health status. What happens to a car that doesn't have enough oil in the tank? It will not work, and the same thing happens with our bodies. Still, many people don't realize the importance of a nutritious beginning to your day.

Here are 10 reasons why you must start your day with a good and healthy breakfast:

1. Risk of Diabetes

Do you skip your Breakfast regularly? Not having breakfast for a long time can mess up with your blood sugar levels increasing the risk of diabetes. According to research, people who don't eat breakfast regularly are more likely to see symptoms of type 2 diabetes. When you skip breakfast, your insulin level drops in your blood. It instantly increases after lunch, and that makes a person diabetic.

2. Weight Gain

Knowingly and unknowingly, people tend to skip breakfast to lose weight. They consider starving themselves a better and easy option, but this never helps them in the long run. When you starve your body and not eat Breakfast, your body stores the food when you eat your lunch turning into fat. Also, not satiating your hunger will make you eat more during lunchtime than you usually eat. Hence, you start gaining weight.

3. Weakens Memory

By skipping breakfast, you are depriving your body of all those benefits from nutritious fruits and vegetables. There are some certain foods that help in boosting memory and increasing the concentration power of the mind. According to Research, people who tend to have Breakfast regularly are more alert and have sharp memories than those who don't. That's why it's advised to have a protein-rich healthy breakfast so that you can make better decisions throughout the day and work efficiently.

4. Low energy and mood swings

There is a scientific reason behind why people have an undying love for food. A good meal can elevate anyone's mood right away. Going to work without having breakfast can drastically affect your mood and make you feel low on energy. Your body goes 9 -10 hours without any food; that's why it's necessary to have at least some amount of food in the morning to survive throughout the day.

5. Slower Metabolism Rate

Although skipping breakfast helps lose weight and even makes you slimmer fast, it badly affects your metabolism rate. Soon you will start having issues like indigestion and acidity as it slows your metabolism rate. On the other hand, having breakfast within the first two hours of waking up can boost your metabolism. A healthy, nutrition filled diet is an excellent way to start your day; it's good for your gut.

6. Hair Loss

Everyone keeps cribbing about their hair loss and hair growth. We all know our diet also plays a significant role in that. But how many of you know that Breakfast too significantly affects our hair growth? It is generally advised to have a protein and fibre rich diet, but it does wonders for hairs. A protein and fibre rich meal produces keratin which promotes hair growth and reduces hair fall.

7. Risk of Heart Problems

Heart Issues are one of the problems that can arise when you skip your breakfast regularly. It is scientifically proven that people who skip Breakfast have 27% more chances to develop heart issues in future than people who eat breakfast regularly. These people are more likely to have hypertension and cardiovascular problems in daily life. However, there are no drastic and sudden impacts, but why put your heart health at risk. And as we say, precaution is better than cure.

8. Chronic Stress and inflammation

Skipping your Breakfast just to save a few minutes puts your body through stress. If you keep doing this, this can develop into a lifetime issue. People who don't emphasize having a healthy breakfast may face chronic stress and inflammation. These things can lead to other problems, like swollen joints, stiffness, fever, and chills.

9. Migraines

Just like your body requires a proper morning meal to function, the same way your mind needs it too. When you starve yourself by cutting off the morning meal from your day, you deprive your body of all the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins. These long breaks from your diet stress your brain and cause migraines.

10. Risk of Cancer

When you start skipping breakfast, you tend to overeat during the next meal, leading to irregular eating habits. Taking long breaks, eating at unusual times, skipping breakfasts and overeating results in several diseases and hormonal imbalance. Instead of losing weight, you start getting obese, and that's where the problems start. You expose yourself to conditions and the risk of getting cancer.
