Why Morning Nutrition? -
The Deep Dive Continues
Our bodies operate on a circadian rhythm, an internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. Eating is best done within a specific window in the earlier part of the day. ⏰
Studies Show:
• Eating a healthy and nutritious first meal of the day helps higher daily intakes of dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, compared to those skipping it
• On the other hand skipping can increase the risk of diabetes, obesity, and hypertension.
Effects of Skipping a Healthy and Nutritious First Meal of the Day
️ Our Stomach, the Workaholic:
• It secretes gastric juices to aid digestion. Regularly skipping first meal can decrease stomach acid production, potentially shrink the stomach, and cause bile stagnation in the gallbladder, leading to gallstone formation.
❤️ Cardiovascular Health:
• Skipping the same can increase blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, and abnormal lipid metabolism. ❤️
❗ Alertness:
• Skipping the same can also reduce alertness, leading to inadequate blood supply to the brain.
Physiological Benefits of having healthy and nutritious first meal of the day:
• Sugar balance, metabolism, better digestion, maintenance of muscle mass and hormonal balance⚖️
Psychological Benefits:
• Improved memory, cognition, mental clarity, and reduced stress.
• Regular healthy and nutritious first meal consumption leads to improved cognition, memory, and attention. ✨
In Summary: Eating a healthy and nutritious first meal of the day in alignment with our circadian rhythm supports our health on multiple levels—from physical and metabolic health to cognitive function and psychological well-being.
Let’s make morning nutrition a priority and start our days on the right note!
