SCIENCEBASED BENEFITS OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS Grab a bite for your overall well-being! What’s that one aspect of your daily routine that you cannot afford missing out on? It is your breakfast! Do you eat your breakfast regularly? or are you up with too many excuses to religiously eating your breakfast every morning. WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JANUARY 2021

We all need that boosting fuel to kick start our day and none other than having your breakfast is that fuel. It gives your body necessary nutrients as well as helps you get on with your day fruitfully, will you agree? When you read through the ill-effects of not having your breakfast, you are surely going to eat your breakfast every day. Science says, breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day and if you don’t eat it like a king, you are sure to experience health concerns, what are those? Here you go!
It comes from the first meal you eat during the day. These blood sugar levels mix in the blood and improve the energy in your organs and cells. By chance if your body miserably fails to get its glucose, you are at a risk of experiencing tiredness, weakness and this exhaustion will cause frustration. Thus, don’t spoil your mood as your day begins.
No 2 - You Might Put On Weight Whether you are in a hurry or you don’t feel like eating breakfast early in the morning, don’t skip breakfast! It is not good to skip breakfast. Even if you plan on not eating, just grab a fruit or eat some dry fruits. Don’t begin your day empty stomach. The logic behind you putting on weight and getting obese is that skipping your breakfast will trigger hunger and you might resort to over-eating and to fulfill your cravings you might start to eat junk, this is neither good for your health nor does your body look nice as you go out of proportion.
No 3 - Hits On Your Metabolism No 1 - Brings Down Sugar Levels
7
Skipping your breakfast drastically affects your body’s metabolism. Are you aware of that?
It is quintessential to keep a check on the blood sugar levels in your body. By chance, if your body experiences a disturbance with the blood sugar levels, you could end up with a risk of Type-2 diabetes and heart diseases.
Not eating your necessary meals in the morning leads to starvation and while this happens, your body starts to store calories and uses them when you are starving. Further, this affects the calorieburning muscle and the rate of metabolism decreases in your body.
Where does this blood sugar come from?
Therefore, don’t skip your breakfast and WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JANUARY 2021
stick to this habit so that your metabolism is not impacted.
No 6 - Stress Attacks You
No 4 - Slows Down Brain Functioning
When the glucose levels fluctuate due to starving with no breakfast in the morning it causes frustration and can make you stressed.
Whenever you starve in the morning and do the opposite of what you are supposed to do, it hits on the way your brain functions.
Since you are already going through enough stress every day, is it worth adding on to your stress by starving?
How? Whenever you get into the starvation mode, your brain utilizes the metabolized glucose, this is not a good sign as it impacts the cognitive functions as well as weakens ones memory.
You lose the ability to think right and handle your emotions if you don’t get the necessary nutrition in the morning. Thus, a bad mood automatically becomes stressful.
This effect on the brain can decrease a person’s productivity in carrying out his/ her day to day activities and tasks.
Don’t add on to your stress, eat your breakfast on time, have enough protein and fiber in your meal so that you are mentally as well as physically healthy throughout.
No 5 - Hair Starts To Weaken And Fall It is scary to lose hair for skipping breakfast, unbelievable right? But, yes this happens! If you take care of the keratin in your hair, you won’t lose hair. In order to monitor the keratin levels, it is important for you to eat enough protein while having your breakfast and stop skipping your breakfast meal. What happens is, when you miss breakfast, besides the keratin in your hair getting impacted, rest of the nourishment that needs to happen stops and your hair follicles get weaker. Thus, start eating breakfast to avoid hair fall problems.
WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JANUARY 2021
No 7 - May Cause Type II Diabetes When you don’t eat breakfast in the morning your mind and body is at stake. You are at risk of being a victim to Type II diabetes as one hormone that can control your blood sugar levels gets imbalanced. Having said, while you are starving, your blood sugar levels go out of control and this leads to the excess fat being produced that triggers type II Diabetes. The reason this happens is that your insulin levels are not in check.
No 8 - May Cause Heart Diseases Skipping breakfast may cause problems in your heart. If you don’t want to be a victim, start to eat your breakfast regularly. 8
When you starve, there are chances for your arteries to get blocked as the heart doesn’t get enough blood to pump well. Besides, your heart muscles tend to weaken, the rate of heartbeat slows down. Thus, there is a potential risk of suffering from heart disease if you regularly continue to skip your breakfast. Take care of your cardiovascular health by eating well and on time.
No 9 - It Will Trigger Migraine Have you ever noticed, whenever you miss your meals and starve for long it causes headaches? The same logic applies to skip when you skin your breakfast. It is true that it causes a headache. Why does hunger cause migraines? By starving your blood sugar levels come down and you experience tension in your muscles. So, to compensate for low blood sugar levels, your body releases certain hormones that end up making you go through a bad headache.
care of her health by not just exercising or living a healthy lifestyle, but, eating necessary nutrients regularly is the most important of all. Skipping breakfast is depriving the body of those necessary nutrients.
Final Word To summarize everything about the harmful effects of skipping breakfast, it is your physical as well as mental well-being that is targeted at the end of the day. Neither do you feel mentally alert nor are you safe from physical health problems in the future Therefore, it is always good to care for your body and eat a minimal meal for breakfast even if you are not hungry or in a hurry instead of facing bad consequences of putting your health in stake.
No 10 - Disturbs Menstrual Cycle A woman feels the healthiest when her menstrual cycle is not targeted and if you are one of those women who skips her breakfast then you immediately need to stop yourself as it can do bad to you. It causes problems such as premenstrual pain, anorexia and severe periods cramps. A woman should be alert and take good 9

Are
Egg Yolks Bad For Your Health?
WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JANUARY 2021
26
Many people trash egg yolks to achieve fitness goals or to not risk high cholesterol. Do you think egg yolks are rightly blamed for weight gain or high cholesterol? Firstly, is it a health risk or a benefit eating it? There is a lot to know about egg yolks before consuming the whole egg. Even before just eliminating it from your diet. Get the facts about how egg yolks are associated with health risks.
How can egg yolks risk your health? The very reason behind people blaming egg yolks is the high cholesterol in it. High levels of cholesterol are associated with heart diseases. Yolk is seen as an unhealthy food after the studies have shown that cholesterol can increase the risk of heart attack. Egg white is a complete protein food. Whereas egg yolk consists of multiple nutrients like folate, iron and other vitamins. You gain the most essential nutrients from egg yolks.Two large eggs are equal to 400 mg cholesterol.
27
You may think that cholesterol is accumulated with the diet. But the fact is cholesterol is produced by the liver which is crucial for all the cells. If you are not consuming sufficient amounts of cholesterol the liver produces more cholesterol. If you eat a good amount of cholesterol then liver produces less of it. Also know that cholesterol is the vital component that your body needs and it’s not unhealthy. Cholesterol is needed so the egg yolks are. It is not yet proven the high cholesterol in diet increases the cholesterol in blood. Still people remain to follow the constraint of dietary cholesterol intake. But the maximum daily intake of cholesterol is capped to 300 mg per day and lesser for patients with heart diseases. The US Dietary guidelines of 2016 did not mention any upper daily limit for dietary cholesterol. We can wrap up saying that eating egg yolks don’t increase the risk of heart diseases. People need not trash it completely from their diet as it is potent with nutritional values. One whole egg can make your diet healthier.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common health condition. 20% of the population globally experience IBS. It can be a disturbance to the healthy living and well-being of the affected person. It condition causes pain stomach and uneasiness until there is a relief.
What Study Says? According to His Team’s laboratory and clinical studies, certain foods activate the cells to release histamine and it eventually results in
stomach pain and discomfort. The previous study by Professor Boeckxstaens and his team revealed that blocking of histamine which is an essential component in the immune system can relieve the symptoms of IBS. If the intestine is healthy then the immune system doesn’t react to the foods a person intakes. Understanding this point, the researchers made an attempt to know what is breaking down the tolerance of intestines. Since the IBS patients mostly complain about food poisoning and gastrointestinal infection. So, this gave a lead that the infection is caused when certain foods in the gut might sensitize the immune system to the particular food. There is a pending clinical trial on the antihistamine treatment. But it is the cells that are releasing histamine which causes IBS. But then the cells not only release histamine. They release various other mediators than just histamine. So, there is a need of blocking these culprit cells first to make the IBS therapy more efficient.
