A new study says that skipping breakfast can considerably shorten your life
Missing the first meal of the day increases your risk of cardiovascular disease.
There is a reason why your parents told you thatBreakfast is the most important meal of the day. According to a new study published in theJournal of the American Cardiology College, When it comes tocardiac health, Skip breakfast has disastrous effects.
The researchers at the University of Iowa have collected data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey on 6,550 adults aged 40 to 75 years. The data they used from 1988 to 1994, with an average follow-up of 18 years. Among those observed, 59% breakfast eaten every day, 25% of breakfasts a few days, 11% have rarely eaten breakfast and 5% never done. The researchers have found that those who jumped breakfast in total had a death hazard of 87% of the death of cardiovascular disease than those who started their day with a meal.
"Breakfast is traditionally raw as the most or at least one of the most important meals of the day, but there is not much available data to say" yes "or" no "to this belief. Our belief. Our paper is among those who provide evidence to support long-term benefits "Dr. Wei Bao, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Iowa and Head of the Study,CNN says.
In a press release, Bao noted thatSkip breakfast was associated with high blood pressure and appetite changes, which allowed a person not to feel full and too much to eat later in the day. This leads to multiple cardiovascular risk factors according to Bao, includingDiabetes, hypertension and lipid disorders. "Our conclusions are consistent and supported by previous studies that have always shown that skipping breakfast is linked to these high risk factors forcardiovascular deathHe said CNN.
The study of the University of Iowa has limitations, in particular that it establishes only an association between skipping the breakfast and the death of cardiovascular disease, rather than prove that one provokes the 'other. It does not specify what one of the participants really eaten for breakfast, which is important, since a bowl of oats with blueberries or an omelette of vegetables with one side of the lawyer is much morehealthy that fried chicken and waffles, for example. But, of course, you do not need a study to tell you that!
