Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Chronic fluctuating glucose levels can set the stage for insulin resistance and metabolic problems, leading right to type 2 diabetes. Since you wake up with low glucose levels, you’re at your most vulnerable in the morning, but this is also your best chance to get your metabolism on track.
Studies have found that both women and men who skip breakfast, even a few times a week, are more prone to developing diabetes down the road. It seems that eating something is what matters most — the quality of meals didn’t seem to impact risk in the study on 30,000 men. Although, eating a high-quality, well-rounded breakfast can also help in other departments, like weight maintenance, cholesterol levels and appetite control.
