Ideal for energizing yourself throughout the morning, but also for controlling blood sugar spikes throughout the day and limiting your appetite… Breakfast allows you to start each day on the right foot. You still have to feel like eating in the morning, which is not the case for everyone. But if you’re the type who’s hungry when you get out of bed, know that there is an ideal time to have breakfast in order to reap all the benefits in terms of mental clarity, productivity and energy.
When is the best time to have breakfast?
To ensure that breakfast is assimilated as best as possible, it is advisable to consume it immediately after waking up. Whether taken before leaving home or on the way to work, it should be about 12 hours after your last meal the day before. If you had dinner at 8pm, your breakfast should then be around 8am. If you are the type who eats early, around 6pm, in this case your first morning meal will be at 6am. It will be at 7am for people who eat at 7pm… You get the idea.
How late is it to have breakfast?
According to a study published in the journal National Library Of Medicine, 9 am would be the latest time to have breakfast. For what ? Good, because eating this meal relatively early could reduce type 2 diabetes by up to 60%. Since your metabolism is more efficient in the morning, it becomes more resistant to insulin during the day. Eating breakfast early would therefore help to metabolise food better and limit blood sugar peaks during the day.
How about not having breakfast?
Do you prefer to skip this meal because you’re the type who isn’t very hungry in the morning? We understand that this happens frequently, especially if you dine quite late in the evening. But you should still know that a study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology explains it subjects with this type of habit run a greater risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress…
Moral of the story? Eating first in the evening and pampering yourself in the morning is good for your health!
