Many nutritionists and health experts claim that having breakfast has long-term benefits and is extremely good for your health. Did you ever wonder why they say so? Here are 9 reasons you must never ever skip the first meal of the day:

1. It Increases Cholesterol Levels.

Various studies have shown that skipping breakfast can spike the cholesterol and insulin levels in your blood.

2. It Prevents Your Body From Getting Sufficient Nutrients.

Studies also reveal that people who do not eat breakfast are more likely to be weaker than those who do. Such individuals often end up consuming more calories than the latter.

3. It Makes Workout Tougher.

When you exercise on an empty stomach, your body eventually faces a low-energy crisis, and this decreases your stamina.

4. It Lowers Your Metabolism.

If you deprive your body of its most important fuel, how do you think it is going to work and burn the calories? Eating breakfast is very important to maintain the metabolism of the body.

5. It Causes Obesity.

A nutritious breakfast suppresses the insulin levels and prevents the body from piling on the pounds. If you skip it regularly, it eventually leads to weight gain.

6. It Increases The Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes.

According to the American Journal Of Clinical Nutrition, people (especially women) who skip breakfast are at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

7. It Depletes Your Energy Levels.

Since a healthy breakfast is packed with healthy fiber and carbs, if you do not eat it, you deprive your body of essential nutrients that are important to keep your energy levels high.

8. It Makes You Feel Cranky.

A nutritious breakfast gives your body a boost of energy that is very important to start your day on a happy note. Skipping breakfast automatically makes you irritated and stressed.

9. It Has A Negative Impact On Your Brain’s Performance.

A study according to the Journal of Physiology and Behavior revealed that skipping your breakfast regularly can cause short-term memory loss.

Since breakfast is so important, nutritionists recommend that you should have it within two hours of waking up. Another thing you must ensure is that the first meal of the day should be the healthiest meal of the day as well.
