If you skip breakfast for a long time, your body will protest strongly, and the following health problems will occur:
1. Gastrointestinal discomfort: When you get up in the morning, the stomach has been emptied, and gastric acid begins to secrete. Skipping breakfast can cause gastric acid and intestinal juice to be unable to be consumed, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Normal eating can trigger the gastrocolic reflex and promote defecation, and skipping breakfast can increase the risk of constipation.
2. Hypoglycemia: skipping breakfast leads to lower blood sugar in the body, and at the same time, it cannot supply and consume the brain, and symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, hand tremors, dizziness, fatigue, lack of concentration, fatigue, and unresponsiveness may occur, and hypoglycemia can be relieved in time.
It will also cause certain damage to brain cells, which is not conducive to physical health.
3. Biliary tract disease: The bile is stored overnight, and the amount is large. It needs to be excreted from the gallbladder and consumed with the intake of food. If you don’t eat breakfast, the bile will accumulate in the gallbladder, and long-term deposition will form gallbladder stones.
Long-term stimulation of the stones can induce cholecystitis. , Some small stones can fall off to the bile duct, causing obstruction, and biliary tract disease may cause symptoms such as anorexia and greasy, right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, and even fever.
4. Obesity: Because skipping breakfast can lead to a strong sense of hunger in the body, it is very fond of high-fat and high-calorie foods, which leads to eating more at noon, which can cause fat accumulation in the long term and lead to obesity.
Many people do not understand nutrition knowledge, so they dare not eat bananas and milk for breakfast.
There are rumors that eating bananas on an empty stomach will cause diarrhea and be detrimental to health. In addition, bananas contain a lot of potassium, and the potassium content in the blood on an empty stomach exceeds the standard, which will lead to drowsiness, fatigue, numbness, etc.
The potassium concentration in normal human serum is only 3.5-5.5mmol/L, and the remaining 98% of potassium is stored in the cell fluid.
The potassium content in bananas is about 350-420mg/100g. The recommended intake of potassium for ordinary adults is 2000mg per day. , so it seems that eating a lot of bananas should increase the concentration of potassium in the blood. But don't forget that the human body also excretes waste products.
The potassium ions in the blood of healthy people are stable. When there are excess potassium ions, the kidneys will filter it out. So even if you do get that much potassium every day, it won't affect your health.
Secondly, drinking milk on an empty stomach will cause the protein in it to clump together when it encounters stomach acid, which is not good for digestion and absorption. In fact, there are some problems with this statement. Milk contains 3% protein, which belongs to high-quality protein, and the absorption and utilization rate of the human body is high.
But milk also contains 4.5% lactose and 3% fat, these nutrients can supply energy to the body. Plus, milk contains B vitamins, which help the body turn fats and carbohydrates into energy. Therefore, drinking milk on an empty stomach will not cause a waste of protein.
