Importance of having Breakfast

 

Importance of having Breakfast:
The frequency of heart attack, sudden death  and stroke peaks between 6:00a.m. and noon , with the highest incidence being between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?
We may 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 buildup in the artery lining. 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 .      Studies performed at Memorial University in  St.Johns, Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation.   
  S o if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research.Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes ,along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice , and perhaps 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  :-) 
Take good care
wishing you all a Happy and Healthy Life
