Nowadays, we often see such a scene. In the breakfast shop in the morning, there are all the uncles and aunts who go out for a walk or buy groceries. The young people in the breakfast shop seem to have disappeared. Occasionally, one or two appear and they buy something on the spot and eat. left. Is it because young people are frugal and make breakfast at home? Of course not, many young people don't eat breakfast at all. They often sleep late and wait until it's close to work before getting up and rushing to work.

If you have time, just buy something to eat. If you don’t have time, just wait until noon to eat. What if you don’t go to work? Of course, young people who don’t work sleep until noon and eat lunch directly. Breakfast seems to be getting more and more distant from young people, but since we have three meals a day, naturally there is no meal at all. It should be less, otherwise it may have adverse effects on our health.

What will happen to people who don’t eat breakfast for a long time?

. Susceptibility to hypoglycemia

The most common problem of not eating breakfast is hypoglycemia. After a whole night of digestion and absorption, our stomachs are empty, which is when we need to replenish food energy. If we skip breakfast, it can easily lead to hypoglycemia. Common problems include dizziness, fatigue, lack of energy, and in severe cases, coma, shock, and other problems.

. Increased risk of stomach disease

Hunger will increase our gastric acid secretion. If we do not eat breakfast in the morning, there will often be a large amount of gastric acid in the stomach. If there is no food intake, gastric acid may start to damage the gastric mucosa If you don't eat breakfast for a long time, excessive gastric acid secretion may lead to chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases. After getting sick, your appetite may be even worse, leading to a vicious cycle.

. Susceptibility to gallstones

If you search the Internet for "not eating breakfast, gallstones", you will find many such cases. When we eat, the bile stored in our gallbladder will participate in digesting food. If we don't eat breakfast, the bile in the gallbladder cannot be discharged for a long time. This will lead to cholestasis in the long term and make gallstones more likely to occur. .

The above three situations are all common dangers of skipping breakfast. Many young people are well aware of it, so they often choose to bring some breakfast by themselves, just to cushion their stomachs, and wait until noon to have a good meal. Today's young people have a lot of pressure in their work and life, so it's understandable to think this way, but some foods are really unhealthy for breakfast, and eating them for a long time may be harmful to the body.

Three kinds of food are not recommended for breakfast

, Iced coffee

Nowadays, many young people like to drink a cup of iced coffee in the morning, which not only refreshes the mind but also helps the body replenish energy. It seems good to think about it this way, but it is not recommended. . First of all, the stomach and intestines are in a relatively weak state in the morning. If you drink ice drinks directly, it may irritate the intestines and stomach, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other problems. Coffee itself has the effect of promoting gastric acid secretion. Drinking coffee can easily lead to excessive gastric acid secretion . Not only will it make you more hungry, but if you don't eat other breakfasts, the damage to your stomach will be more serious.

. Desserts and cakes

I have to say that desserts such as cakes are high in calories, and it seems to be a good breakfast choice to replenish energy in time, but in fact it is not. Many cakes and other desserts are high in oil and sugar. Eating such foods directly in the morning may be difficult to digest and may easily lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. And this type of food often contains a large amount of trans fatty acids, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is not good for health. Of course, if it is a cake with low sugar content and a slightly lighter taste, it is okay to pair it with eggs and milk to pad your stomach, but it is still not healthy to eat it for a long time.

. Fruit juice and vegetable juice

Fruit juice and vegetable juice can be considered a healthy food in itself if they do not have a large number of additives, but it is generally not recommended to be eaten directly as breakfast. Vegetable juices and fruit juices themselves are relatively low in calories and do not provide sufficient energy. And under normal circumstances, vegetable juices rarely provide protein and fat, insufficient energy supply can easily occupy the stomach, leading to insufficient intake of other foods, and such foods can also easily promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which may Will make us hungry faster. Therefore, it is still possible to supplement some vegetable juices in moderation while mainly eating other foods, but cannot focus on vegetable juices.

In daily life, many of us elderly people often eat breakfast. Although they eat breakfast more regularly than young people, the breakfast they eat is not necessarily healthy. For example, the deep-fried dough sticks and pancakes that many elderly people love to eat are high in calories, fat, and nutrients, making them unhealthy. There are also some elderly people who eat rice porridge with pickles, which is too nutritious and may lead to malnutrition if they eat it for a long time.

So what should we eat for breakfast?

1. In principle, increase the intake of protein and vitamins

The biggest feature of our ordinary people's breakfast is that carbohydrates are consumed more, but protein and vitamin intake Insufficient , because our breakfast is often based on rice noodles and porridge, lacks vegetables and meat, so we can mainly help us balance our dietary intake by supplementing vegetables and meat.

2. You can eat porridge, but don’t just eat white porridge

Therefore, in general, our breakfast intake reduces the intake of staple foods. White porridge is too nutritious. You can add shredded meat and vegetables to it to make vegetable porridge, which is relatively It can add more nutrients.

3. Steamed buns are a good choice

You can choose to eat steamed buns. The steamed buns themselves include meat and vegetables, and they also contain carbohydrates. You can choose to eat some vegetarian steamed buns or semi-vegetarian steamed buns , which can help us supplement our vegetable and meat intake. Less than .

4. Milk and eggs

Next is milk and eggs . These two foods are rich in protein and are relatively easier to absorb. Paired with some whole grain bread and vegetables , it is a good choice for breakfast.

The choice of breakfast is mainly to choose from a variety of choices, ensure that various nutrients can be supplemented in place and have a certain sense of fullness , so as to reduce the adverse effects on work during the day.

Breakfast is a very important meal for us. It is the beginning of our day. Eating breakfast on time is not only for the sake of physical health, but also can improve our work efficiency. However, it is not advisable to eat overly sweet, greasy, or spicy food for breakfast. The body needs to recover slowly after a night of sleep in the morning. Eating such food directly may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
