According to domestic surveys, 20% of female and 15% of male "office workers" skip breakfast for various reasons before going to work. Little do they know that breakfast should provide 25% of the day's energy and plays a very important role in maintaining people's normal physiological functions and mental activities.
Experts believe that the period from 9 PM to 7 AM the next day, about 10 hours, is the longest fasting time of the day. After a night's sleep, the body's stored energy will be depleted. If not replenished in time, it will cause symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as dizziness, limb weakness, and cold sweats, and it will also reduce work efficiency, weakening attention, memory, and comprehension. If you skip breakfast because you are hungry and rush to buy snacks during the break, although you replenish some energy, you will eat less at lunch. Over time, the "office worker's" stomach will find it difficult to bear, which can easily lead to "stomach problems".
Dairy and dairy products (such as milk and soy milk) and grain products (such as congee, noodles, rice noodles, dumplings, buns, steamed buns, scallion rolls, and fried dough sticks, etc.) are good sources of nutrients. In addition, beverages (such as sweet wine and nutritious oatmeal) are also an important part of breakfast. After a night of "fasting", the body needs to replenish water and nutrients. In addition, vegetables are indispensable in breakfast. You can choose some refreshing pickles, cucumber salad, sugar-coated tomatoes, etc. Eating a certain amount of vegetables can not only maintain the balance of blood pH and reduce the pressure on the gastrointestinal tract, but also provide the body with a certain amount of vitamins in a timely manner, which is very beneficial for healthy development. In addition, it is best to add a vitamin-rich fruit to breakfast.
It should be noted that breakfast should not be eaten too early, around 7:15 is more appropriate.
