The myth that body is a structure should be removed
from the mind before you ritualize any
fitness regimen.
Health experts say that it is not what we eat, but when and how that matters a
lot in any weight-loss programme. It looks a difficult task to control
our cravings on what we eat rather than what we should eat. It is also
the timing that plays a crucial role as digestion rhythms are in symphony with
nature's cycles.
After a night's dinner, when you wake up in the morning, it is very essential
to stuff your system with some food. It means that the fast should be broken
soon enough to maintain secretion of digestive juices so that the body
maintains optimum level of energy.
But a working day morning is like a sprint for most of us and some of them prefer
to skip breakfast to manage their time which is totally foolhardy. This can
have a devastating effect on their bodies and sleep rhythms.
Experts say that people who eat breakfast produce more melatonin, a hormone
produced by pineal gland and therefore sleep better.
Fitness experts recommend to eat breakfast, preferably fruits. If you are on
weight-loss programme, better to start your day with fresh fruit juice -
orange, apple, melon, pineapple which supplies the water content, the essential
fuel to your body for detoxification.
In an interesting study undertaken in 2011 by a market research company, about
18% of males and 13% of females between the ages of 35 and 54 are breakfast
skippers. The research also finds that skipping breakfast may increase a
woman's diabetic risk. Another study found that skipping breakfast was
associated with hypertension, insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar
levels.
The better way to take a leisurely breakfast is to wake up a little early so
that the most important food of the day is not fanatically gulped into throat
due to paucity of time !
