Skipping breakfast is a common habit of some people
especially those with stressful activities or schedule in the morning.
Some students and employees who rush going to school and office ignoring the
need to take breakfast.
Research shows that one of the worst practice is skipping
the breakfast meal. It is indeed the
most important meal of the day. It helps prevent strokes, heart attack, and
sudden death. The attacks occur between
6:00a.m and noon with the highest
rates during 8:00 to 10:00a.m
Platelet are tiny elements in the blood that keep from
bleeding but these platelets can clump together inside the arteries due to
cholesterol or plaque in the lining of the artery lining. The most activation hours of platelets takes
place during the morning and tend to form internal blood clots. The good news is taking
atleast a light meal or very-low fat
breakfast can reduce activation of the platelets.
Eating cereal such as oatmeal, fat-free yogurt with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice
and a piece of fruit like banana is a light breakfast one can take. A simple breakfast will keep the platelets
sticking together, keeping the blood clots from forming, and prevent heart
attack or stroke. Having a good meal at
breaks will also sustain the energy during the day.
