For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that habit now!
You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most important meal
of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst
practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.
Why?
Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke
peaks between 6: 00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence
being between 8: 00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the
body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the
early morning hours?
We may have an Answer.
Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to
Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due
to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the
morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend
to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.
However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning
platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes.
Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns, Newfoundland
found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in
modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study
consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and
a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk.
So if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this
practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple
plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six
ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit.
This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together,
keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential
Heart Attack or stroke .
So never ever skip breakfast!!
