Breakfast must for keeping slim ,trim and fit

- Teenagers who often eat breakfast be likely to weigh less, exercise more and eat a more fit diet than those who miss breakfast.
- Researchers in America followed the diet, weight and other lifestyle patterns of 2,216 adolescents, who were just under 15 years old at the outset, for five years. It was found that the more regularly the teenagers ate breakfast, the lower was their body mass index (BMI). BMI is a measure of body weight relative to height. Those who always skipped breakfast on average weighed about 2.3 kg more than the teenagers who ate the meal every day. This was because of the fact that by heavy their appetites in the morning, breakfast eaters could manage their appetite better all through the day, and thus avoid food binges at lunch or dinner.
- The children who ate breakfast regularly, and chiefly every day, were improved in terms of their overall standard of living. They were found to me more actually active and had a better diet, comprising a lower fat intake, lower cholesterol intake and higher fibre intake.
- The study thus suggest that people who habitually miss a meal are obese than those who eat it recurrently. But the food has to be chosen meaty, for example, adolescent people should not snatch a chocolate-coated doughnut for breakfast or any other meal. They should make healthy choices, for example, team up ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, which are high in sugar, but also rich in fibre and nutrients, with low-fat milk and maybe some fruit or fruit juice.
