"Importance of having Breakfast"

Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death.
Advice on not to skip breakfast!
Healthy living. For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop
that habit now! You've heard many times that "Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day." Now, recent research confirms that one of
the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.Why?

Because 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 earlymorning 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 toCholesterol or plaque 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. Subjects in the study
consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a
source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So 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
