The Ministry of Health has urged citizens to pay more attention to their breakfast, emphasizing that its absence can lead to serious problems in the body. Skipping breakfast can result in an annual weight gain of up to 5 kg and even obesity.

Experts claim that breakfast plays a crucial role in maintaining health and energy throughout the day. It helps kickstart the metabolism after an overnight fast, providing the body with the necessary nutrients and energy. Without morning food intake, the body is forced to use its stored energy resources, leading to fatigue, loss of attention, and decreased concentration.

“Many people skip breakfast in a rush to get to work or school, and some do so due to a lack of appetite. However, this can lead to negative health consequences,” noted a representative from the Ministry of Health.

Skipping breakfast can also slow down metabolism, which in turn contributes to the accumulation of excess weight. Additionally, the absence of a morning meal can cause sharp fluctuations in blood sugar levels, leading to drowsiness, irritability, and decreased productivity.

Regularly skipping breakfast can also negatively affect the digestive system, increasing the risk of developing gastritis and stomach ulcers. Moreover, it can weaken the immune system, making the body more vulnerable to infections.

Studies show that people who regularly skip breakfast can gain between 3 to 5 kilograms per year. By the age of 35-50, these individuals have a significantly increased risk of developing problems associated with obesity.

The Ministry of Health recommends starting the morning with a glass of warm water, followed by a full breakfast that includes eggs, chicken, bread and bakery products made from rye flour, cottage cheese with honey, and porridge. This helps maintain normal blood sugar levels, speeds up metabolism, and provides the body with essential nutrients.

At the same time, the Ministry of Health advises avoiding yeast bread, pastries, citrus fruits, and coffee for breakfast, as they can cause allergic reactions and negatively impact health.
