Why Skipping Breakfast Can Be Dangerous?

Like we read earlier, it is clear that missing any meal of the day, especially breakfast, can be very dangerous for health.

Whether you are skipping breakfast because you do not have the time or because you are on a weight loss diet, this habit can be more harmful to your body than you realise!

Many of us may tend to take it for granted and feel that breakfast may not be all that important after all.

What we may not know is that fact that skipping breakfast can make you feel tired and also slow down your metabolism, as you are denying yourself the first meal of the day!

Now, apart from the above fact, a group of researchers from Tufts University, have found that people who skip breakfast on a regular basis, are the risk of developing heart diseases like stroke!

The study said that when a person skips breakfast, the body releases certain enzymes to produce more energy without food, and these enzymes can lead to the narrowing of the arteries.

Also, the enzymes can cause a build-up of plaque in the narrowed arteries, thus creating blood clots which may eventually cause a stroke or even a heart attack!

So, in conclusion, skipping breakfast can lead to stroke or heart attacks in later life!
