Missing Regular breakfast invites Diabetes

05/06/09 | by Ajit | Categories: Diseases

Diabetes is a dangerous health problem. In adults, diabetes is often a result of long-term nutritional neglect and abuse.

Are you regular with your breakfast? In the morning when we get up we are hungry. Our fuel supply is very low. We surely need a good breakfast. It could be porridge or buttered bread slices/toasts with a glass of milk or a bowl of curd. But usually it is avoided and later in the morning, a high-calorie muffin or a candy bar is preferred. We must realize that the snack disturbs the insulin balance. It results into increased insulin into the bloodstream.

This pattern is repeated throughout the day. A graph of the average person’s blood sugar levels would show sharp spikes - both highs and lows - in every 24-hour period. Eventually, the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas wear out. The result is consistently high levels of blood glucose which is called diabetes.

Beside obesity and heart disease, Diabetes may cause severe Eye problems, kidney problems, and circulatory problems.

An obvious preventive strategy would be to ensure that blood glucose levels are steady throughout the day. Actually, this is easy to do. All that’s required is to develop healthy eating habits and do regular exercise.

Eat breakfast - a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese mixed with a 6-ounce cup of yogurt is all you need
Do food combining at every meal - always eat a combination of protein and carbohydrate

No between-meal snacks

Regular exercise that is challenging and fun - build-up gradually and be consistent
