There have always been conflicting opinions on breakfast. There are those who love it and cannot start a day without it, and then there are those who in the morning just can’t swallow anything but a cup of coffee. The truth is that the old rumor that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is not that far from true. It is enough to have breakfast within this time to improve metabolism and prevent future diseases. To corroborate the thesis there is also a recent study carried out byEndocrine Society and recently presented at ENDO 2021, their annual meeting. Factual studies show how have a healthy breakfast at certain times it can bring real and substantial benefits to our body.
It is enough to have breakfast within this time to improve metabolism and prevent future diseases
According to nutritionists, the recommended time to have breakfast is 10:00 in the morning. This is because it is important to stop as soon as possible the long period of fasting that our body comes from, which does not feed all night. The sooner we break this fast, the more we provoke metabolic and endocrine responses in our body. Having an early breakfast helps to raise lipid metabolism and the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood. In addition, it reduces the sense of hunger and therefore the propensity to make snacks not required by our caloric needs during the day. It is clear that the choice of food is also important: by preferring whole foods, for example, we favor the glycemic response.
The opinion of the Endocrine Society
According to the aforementioned study by the Endocrine Society, the optimal time to have breakfast would even be 8:30. People who eat breakfast within this time, given on hand, have lower blood sugar levels and develop a lower insulin response. This means they will be less likely to develop high blood sugar or even type 2 diabetes.
