Dis-Advantages Of Skipping Breakfast


Breakfast quite literally the meal meant to “break the fast” from all the hours youspend sleeping, and skipping it is known to cause a slew of bad chain reactions throughout the body. And yet, 31 million Americans (28 percent of which are men ages 18-34) don't eat a morning meal, according to a study conducted by NPD Group, a leading marketing research company.


                  Recent studies have found no differencein weight between those who skip their morning meal and those who don’t. In the meantime, skipping meals has become an increasingly popular part of modern life.

         One of the most common reasons people skip breakfast is because they'rejust not hungry in the morning.
   
            Breakfast-eaters tend to have lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.On the other hand, some research has even suggested that fasting for longer overnight periods (eating an early dinner, for example) could actually help people lose weight.
 
            Now, a small new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition sheds some light on what really happens in the body when people skip breakfast on a regular basis. People burn more calories on days they skip breakfast, but that the habit may increase dangerous inflammation.

       The researchers concluded that because chronic inflammation is known to affect insulin sensitivity, skipping breakfast could contribute to “metabolic impairment,” which could potentially raise the risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes.

1.Your Blood Sugar Drops :

Research published in the Journal of Frontiers of Human Nueroscience shows that eating breakfast helps restore glycogen and stabilizes levels ofinsulin. If you don't replenish your glucose stores in the morning, it'll leave you feeling overly hungry, cranky and fatigued. (Yes, being “hangry” is a real health problem.) "These low blood sugarsymptoms are the first thing you're likelyto experience from fasting all-night long.

2.Your Metabolism Slows :

There’s evidence that an early meal can stoke your metabolism and encourage your body to burn more calories throughout the day, according to the International Journal of Obesity. When you fast for too long, your body goes into protection mode, and begins to store as many calories as possible. As a negative double whammy, when your metabolism slows, it can turn to the glucose stored in your muscles as a backup fuel source, effectively wasting away your muscles.

3.Your Stress Hormones Skyrocket

Breakfast has a positive effect on cortisol, one of the primary “stress hormones” produced by the adrenal glands. Cortisol has many functions including helping the body use sugar (glucose) and fat for energy and managing stress. "Normally cortisol levels are highest about 7 a.m., so this iswhen it’s important to eat something in order to bring them back down,If cortisol levels remain elevated, you're likely to feel anxious or jittery.

7 Reasons Why You’re Not Building Muscle

1. Underestimating your calorie consumption. Calorie consumption is the solution to most hardgainers problems in building muscle. Yousimply cannot assume that you’re eating enough calories by casually keeping a mental note of what you’ve eaten throughout the day,you have to record down on pen and paper what foods you’ve consumed. 2. Not eating the right ratio of carbohydrates, protein and fats. The optimum ratio of carbs, protein and fats is 50%, 30% and 20% respectively. This ratio will provide the optimum level for synthesizing protein into muscle mass. 3. Not drinking enough water. Water is even more important than food in that it’s essentialfor many bodily functions.

The 7 Steps You Should Take to Guarantee Muscle Growth

        Before you actually start bodybuilding you should decide what you want to do. A few years ago I made the mistake of just jumping in and working out with no end in mind. I wound up wasting my time, even though there were some gains they were not enough for me and the funny thing is I did not even know what it was I wanted.            I heard a saying once, it went like this: “The road to somewhere goes to a town called nowhere”. To you and me this means that if we go to the gym without knowing what it is that we want to get out of it, we wont get anywhere.            There is a technique that will guarantee that you will build more muscle on your body if youstick to it, so here it is (I actually can’t guarantee it because 99% of the results depend on YOU). 1.
