Breakfast and Diabetes

It’s commonly said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and new research shows why it’s so important to eat healthy in the morning.

German researchers conducted a review of existing studies and concluded that skipping breakfast — even occasionally — is associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The review looked at data from more than 96,000 people, spanning 6 separate studies.

The researchers found that skipping breakfast once a week is associated with a 6 percent higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The numbers rose from there, with skipping breakfast 4 or 5 times per week leading to an increased risk of 55 percent.

Dietitians recommend people to eat a healthy breakfast that fills them up and prevents spikes in their blood sugar.
