From childhood, we were told that breakfast was the most important meal. But what if the thought of breakfast only provokes anger? Experts say that the lack of appetite after waking up can be a signal to pay attention to.
According to the Daily Mail, dietitian Natalie Burroughs, in an interview with Stylist magazine, emphasized the importance of understanding why you don't want to eat in the first hours after sleep. According to the expert, one of the common reasons for this is the habit of replacing breakfast with a cup of coffee. However, caffeine does not nourish the body's cells, but only creates the illusion of alertness.
Another mistake is not having breakfast to lose weight. According to Spanish scientists, for healthy metabolism, dietitians recommend consuming 20-30% of daily calories with the first meal - approximately 400-600 calories for women and 500-750 calories for men. Additionally, the study showed that having breakfast before 9 AM can reduce the risk of depression, while late eating or completely skipping breakfast often worsens mood.
At the same time, the lack of a desire to have breakfast is not always a cause for concern. In Mediterranean countries, for example, a light or late breakfast is common. There, they prefer to start the day with small portions and fresh products, which helps to maintain a feeling of fullness and maintain health longer. The main thing is to listen to your body and not confuse the habit of skipping breakfast with signs of fatigue or stress.
