Advice on not to skip breakfast!

 

For those who always skip breakfast, you should start kicking that

habit now!!

 

You " ve heard many times that " Breakfast is the most important meal of

the day. " Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst

practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.

 

Why?

 

Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks

between 6:00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being between

8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could account

for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?

 

We may have an answer

 

Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to

Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to

cholesterolor laque build up in the artery lining. It is in the

morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to

form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.

 

However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning

platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes.

 

Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns, Newfoundland

found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in

modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study

consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a

source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk.

 

So if you skip breakfast, it " s important that you change this practice

immediately in light of this research.Develop a simple plan to eat

cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes ,along with six ounces of grape

juice or orange juice , and perhaps a piece of fruit .

 

This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together,

keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential heart

attack or stroke.

 

So never ever skip breakfast.
