It was around 10 in the morning, I started to office.
On the way to office I filled the fuel tank of my bike.
Entered the office and switched on my laptop and
started the day by reading mails. I had time to fill
fuel for my bike, but I don't have time to have my
break fast.
The topic I am going to talk today is
"Breakfast"
Why we call the food we take in the morning as breakfast.
Yes everyone should know the reason, the time between
the dinner and the break fast is almost 10 hours ! Ideally
we are fasting for 10 hours so breaking this long
fast with a good food is called breakfast.
But do we all have breakfast, how many of us here skip the
breakfast. I see few hands. These folks are very good for
not breaking anything :)
There are lots of excuses for not having breakfast:
Lack of time
Not being a morning person
Trying to lose weight
Having forgotten to have it
A recent research confirms 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?
I 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. 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.
Develop a simple plan to eat cereal (not TV serial :), along
with a grape juice or orange juice,and 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 . . .
