Breakfast important meal of the day


After dinner when we go to sleep our body utilizes blood glucose and liver glycogen to get energy. During sleep growth hormone level and protein synthesis increases. In early morning liver glycogen, blood glucose, insulin and growth hormone level declines. To prevent a drop in blood glucose stress hormone cortisol released. Cortisol breakdown muscle protein and fat. Due to protein breakdown, an amino acid formed and transported to the liver and formation of glucose occurs. So to maintain blood glucose cortisol level remains high and continuous utilization of muscle protein have bad effects on health. People who skip breakfast have more chances to develop diabetes type 2, metabolic syndrome, obesity and coronary heart disease than a person taking regular breakfast.
