Knowing How to Eat

Growing up our parents have us on a eating retrial and we have to eat when mom cooks. Depending on the family size you could eat two plates if the family was big, a buffet if their only a few family members. But the question is what meal do we consume the most food? Most people will say dinner, a few would say lunch, and a few would say breakfast, but our healthiest meal is breakfast. This is because when we wake up and we eat a healthy bit breakfast that will be our energy source, nutrition source, and mental source for the day until lunch. For lunch we're supposed to eat a good sandwich maybe a subway sandwich, but eat a huge lunch isn't healthy, because our bodies are still going off of breakfast. Meaning when dinner comes around we can eat a good plate of food, but not as much as breakfast. Growing up eating breakfast woke my mind and body up. Our mental force will be a lot stronger with a great breakfast. Because the carb (energy) that we consume gives us energy while the sugar energizes the mind, and the fruits and vegetables which are healthy for our brains. A good breakfast fuels you up and gets you ready for your day. The article, Why Breakfast Is The Most Important Meal Of The Day says that, “The consumption of an early morning snack increases the metabolic rate (how fast you burn calories) and kick starts your body into gear, telling it what to expect the rest of the day. If breakfast isn't had, your body doesn't process your next meal as quickly and tries to hold onto those nutrients. Since it didn't get any morning fuel, it tries to hold onto the afternoon meal as long as possible instead of burning it right away.” Also test have shown that those who skip breakfast have a tendency to consume more food than usual the next chance they get to grab a bite to eat and also have a high tendency to snack on high-calorie foods. When we skip out on breakfast we’ll tend to eat more at lunch to satisfy our hunger and we’ll tend to over eat. Demine Stracker’s article Why Breakfast Really Is the Most Important Meal states that, “Many teens skip breakfast as an attempt to control this excess weight gain yet previous studies have shown that individuals who consume breakfast daily have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who skip the meal.  Missing out on those vital calories in the morning may contribute to overeating later in the day, selecting unhealthy snacks due to uncontrolled hunger and therefore foster weight gain.” As a result of eat correctly we’ll see our metabolism change, our energy levels increasing, and the amount of food consumed in a day will decline. Breakfast should be treated like our nutrition and medicine for the body to be healthy.
