The Importance of the first Breakfast
In developed countries, obesity is the most common nutritional disorder with a continuous increase in prevalence in recent decades. The growth rate of obesity is probably due to changes in lifestyle of the population: prevalence of physical inactivity and excessive caloric intake. The search is still engaged in an effort to understand the causes of obesity and the numerous attempts, both pharmacological and behavioral, to prevent and treat this disease have, in the individual and the population, rare and transient success.
An interesting line of research, which could have wide application, is the study of the effects consumption or not breakfast. There has in recent years to a sharp reduction in the number of people making a real breakfast, very frequently, the first meal of the day consists of a simple snack or a drink. Epidemiological studies have confirmed that a poor or no breakfast is associated with a higher incidence of overweight and obesity. The breakfast is part of a scheme of balanced diet. In addition to regulating the sense of hunger and satiety throughout the day to meet the limits in the body to meet energy demands after an overnight fast. In fact, since the commonly includes the consumption of breakfast cereals and other foods rich in carbohydrates and fibers, the people who consume it regularly could benefit from the physiological mechanisms that reduce the appetite in the rest of the day. The jump of the breakfast was also correlated with worse quality of daily diet.
A first strategy to use and easy to maintain or lose weight is therefore to make every day a hearty breakfast that consists of at least 20-25% of daily calories.
What foods to eat for breakfast?
E 'should always consume a source of complex carbohydrates such as bread, biscuits, dry biscuits or corn flakes. To these we must add a fruit and milk or yogurt. If the milk is not tolerated you can try to consume the milk, "low in sugar."
The classic Italian breakfast cappuccino and croissant with a good breakfast?
The croissant should be consumed only occasionally because it is very rich in calories (between 150 and 200) and saturated fats that are harmful to health.
I really wanted was all that the day such as breakfast, when people tuned in on their dreams and is not expected to have to face the outside world. I realized that I'm always like that for me never comes a time when, after a cup of coffee or a shower, I suddenly feel full of life, alert and in tune with the world. If you was always at breakfast, I'd be fine. From "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful" by Peter Cameron, 2007 (pp. 100 and 101).
