Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and

sudden death.

Advice on not to skip breakfast!

Healthy living

For those who always skip breakfast, you should stop that

habit now!

You've heard many times that " Breakfast is the most

important meal of the day. "

Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst

practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast.

 

Why?

Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and

stroke peaks between 6:00a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being

between 8:

00a.m. and 10:00a.m.What mechanism within the body could

account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?

 

We may have an Answer.

Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from

bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due

to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning

hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal

blood clots at the greatest frequency.

 

However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the

morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes.

Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns,

Newfoundland

found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was

critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study

consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source

of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it's

important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research.

Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with

six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This

simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep bloodclots

from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke.

 

So never ever skip breakfast.
