Author: markbennett | Posted: 15.06.2012

There are many among us who knows the importance of having breakfast. The benefits which breakfast gives us for beginning the day is the threshold of exuberant activeness and energy. But still there are some among us who leave the house in the morning without having a good amount or adequate breakfast. People who skip breakfast or eat a light one use the basic excuse of the lack of time or weight watching. Some to an extent assume that skipping breakfast will help to reduce weight and that is truly a wrong misconception. In some cases, you may end up becoming overweight.

Now what happens when we don't have breakfast? Well it is simple. Just assume our body is like a car. When we get up early in the morning, we are almost without food for about ten to twelve hours. So what happens is that our body and brain is without energy for that much long hour. Our body needs to be fuelled several times in a day so that we can become active and perform the functions efficiently and to our best. In the morning, especially after several hours without food, it is quite essential to be refueled in order for our body to get the necessary nutrients and energy.

Now to make our brain work or become active it needs energy. It is from our brain that message is sent to all other parts in the body to get them moving and performing their functions. So if our brain is not fed, it will gradually act in a slow and sluggish manner. This will greatly impact the rest of our body. Our brain needs a required amount of glucose and sugar to get energy to function. Even our muscles in the body need glucose to activate them and make the body working.

What happens when you deprive your body without food is that you may find yourself feeling tired, dizzy and sometimes irritated. Also your concentration could get affected and it could become poor. This will result in taking you longer to carry out tasks and sometimes you may not feel up to anything mentally arduous, let alone physical. Sometimes you may find yourself snapping at people unintentionally especially if you really under stress and no doubt you will soon start to feel the hungry as the day progress.

Another thing is that if you don't eat anything in the morning, you will most likely have the craving to eat something sweet. As your body starts crying to have a quick fix of boosting energy, you may end up eating high sugary content food. This is most common when you are at work and it is way before lunch, you will be really tempted to have something unhealthy like chocolate bars, cream cake, and other unhealthy snack. Now for those who are really watching weight it is definitely a disastrous thing.

But the one thing that could take you by surprise is that there are people who think that skipping breakfast will help to reduce the calorie intake which will really help them to lose weight. This is a very wrong and bogus misconception. Missing breakfast often leads to overeating at some point later in the day. We may end up snacking on unhealthy food which is naturally high in calories and fat. Sometimes there could be chances that you will become over hungry at mid-morning and by lunch time you will end up eating twice as much as you can. If you had a healthy breakfast, you would have got energy which will be released slowly as the day progresses.

To conclude, missing your breakfast means missing the important constituent of your energy. So always hog on healthy food which you see on the TV or just surf the web using your high speed internet that you get as deals like the Time Warner Internet Deals and become aware of the importance of having breakfast.
