They warn that breakfast would not be as beneficial as believed

In dialogue with the platform MailOnlinestated that the “widespread recommendation” that everyone should eat breakfast “does not have any specific scientific basis.”

“Food is not necessary to start the day or wake upsince the body’s internal clock secretes the chemical substances that help us wake up and get out of bed, whether we have breakfast or not,” he stated.

According to the specialist, the results of large studies according to which people who eat breakfast are the healthiest are usually due to other factors than the food itself, such as sleep patterns.

“Urging people to eat breakfast first thing in the morning, when many aren’t hungry, often leads to something quick and convenient,” he said.

Toast with jam, ultra-processed breakfast cereals, bars, bakery sweets and smoothies, provide “lots of sugar but not enough protein, fiber and healthy fats”, according to Amati.

“If we eat a meal rich in sugar on an empty stomach, many of us will feel hungry and tired after a couple of hours, when all the sugar has been absorbed and our bodies are deprived of other nutrients,” he exemplified.

“Therefore, Skipping breakfast is not a problem for everyone.. More important than having breakfast at a certain time is making sure that the first meal of the day is complete and nutritious,” he concluded.

Therefore, it was concluded that the most serious studies done to date show that it does not matter whether people eat or skip breakfast.

Along the same lines, Professor james bettsexpert in metabolic physiology of University of Bathshe maintained: “Most people seem to be under the impression that it’s incredibly important to eat breakfast every day, but the studies on the importance of eating breakfast are much less clear-cut than people think.”

“Evidence generally shows that there are no negative health effects from skipping breakfast. So the good – or perhaps disappointing – news is that whether or not you eat in the morning will not in itself have a big effect on the health of most people,” he said.

He added: “The probability that a person will benefit (from eating breakfast) will depend on the benefits they hope to obtain and how healthy their diet and lifestyle already are.”
