Breakfast : The Belly Rules the Mind

Missing breakfast can be seen as a way of saving time in the morning, when you don’t know the importance of breaking the fast. Your body is at rest when you go to sleep but it is still breathing, digesting and pumping the blood. After an eight-hour sleep – a third of your day – the body’s energy levels are low and it requires replenishment. Even if you are not hungry in the morning, it still needs extra energy to boost the body for the day’s work.
When you wake in the morning, your body is primed to look for food. Your metabolism is revved up. Your brain needs energy right away, and if you don’t eat or you eat too little, the brain needs to find another fuel source. To do this, it activates an emergency system that pulls energy from muscle, destroying muscle tissue in the process. Then when you eat later, the body and brain are still in high-alert mode, so the body saves energy from the food as fat.
Dine early and take a two-hour break before you sleep, if you don’t have a healthy appetite in the morning. Don’t let work, lack of time or laziness become a cause for skipping breakfast.
