Skipping breakfast increases risk of diabetes



A review of existing studies looked at data from 96 000 people and concluded that skipping breakfast (even occasionally) is associated with a higher risk of developing diabetes.
Skipping breakfast once a week is associated with a 6 percent higher risk and skipping 4 or 5 times per week increased risk to 55 percent.

What happens?
  • Increased blood sugar after lunch and dinner
  • Impaired insulin response
  • Tendency to overeat

What is the mechanism?

It is due to insulin resistance
As a result, more insulin is secreted to keep the blood sugar in a normal range 

when it’s chronic, it is the onset of diabetes
Why people skip breakfast?

  • No time (even to breath)
  • Don't feel hungry in the morning
  • There is no breakfast in our family





What you should eat?

Whole wheat bread
(The front label is misleading. See the list of ingredients. 
The first (not second or third) ingredient should read as whole wheat white bread or whole wheat brown bread

Potato

Banana or apple

Boiled egg (with yellow)
        
OR

Boiled Mung, or Chole or Rajma

A glass of milk




.This will help you kick-start your day, give you energy, satisfy your appetite, and set the stage for healthy eating all day long.”
