Who will be healthier without breakfast?

Most people who know something about diet and health have the same idea: skipping breakfast is harmful to health. The voices of various media are almost the same, and skipping breakfast is harmful to health. People who often skip breakfast (including the author himself) are often advised to eat breakfast, otherwise what will happen? Unfortunately, the results of medical research methods (epidemiological investigation) cannot prove the view that skipping breakfast is harmful to health.

People say that "skipping breakfast is harmful to health" must have two premises: one is for people who are used to eating breakfast; Secondly, breakfast food is very safe. Otherwise, the view that "skipping breakfast is harmful to health" is fallacious.

For people who are used to skipping breakfast, health has nothing to do with skipping breakfast. People who often skip breakfast and are healthy are not uncommon. If anyone has doubts about this view, they can make a survey on the health status of people around them to see if they can find a credible example of "poor health is related to frequent skipping breakfast".

Some people who are in poor health are just related to eating breakfast. Among patients with diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and digestive system diseases, the proportion of patients who eat breakfast is higher than that of patients who don't eat breakfast.

For some people, eating breakfast is unhealthy for two reasons:

First, people who have a big appetite for breakfast, many people have a good appetite all day. Generally speaking, people will have richer lunches and dinners. For people with good appetites, they will eat more lunches and dinners if they can't exercise rational restraint. Therefore, such people often have "diet-related health problems".

Secondly, living in modern society, the risk of breakfast food is much higher than that of lunch and dinner. For office workers, they often don't have enough time to prepare breakfast, so they have to choose some convenient food and leftovers for breakfast, or fill their hunger in unsupervised food stalls on the street. It is self-evident that eating such breakfast for a long time has a negative impact on health.

Under the following circumstances, as long as the body can adapt, skipping breakfast is not only harmless, but beneficial to health.

* People with hyperlipidemia, fatty liver and obesity.

* People who often eat supper or go to bed 2-3 hours after dinner.

* People who often have a full dinner, and the interval between breakfast the next day and dinner the day before yesterday does not exceed 1 1 hour, but have little physical and mental consumption in the morning.

* People who lack basic safety and sanitation for breakfast.

I hope I can help you adopt it.
