Skipping breakfast every day may be a bad idea after all especially if you are overweight because it could increase the risk of developing diabetes.
.
A small new study found that when women skipped the morning meal, they experienced insulin resistance, a condition in which a person requires more insulin to bring their blood sugar into a normal range, explained Dr. Elizabeth Thomas, an instructor of medicine at the University of Colorado.
.
This insulin resistance was short-term in the study, but when the condition is chronic, it is a risk factor for diabetes, Thomas said.
.
She is due to present her findings at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco.
.
"Eating a healthy breakfast is probably beneficial," Thomas said. "It may not only help you control your weight but avoid diabetes."
I"m so sure so many people did not know this until now...It's very clear to everyone now how important breakfast is.
