Indeed, breakfast is an important meal, but it should not be at any cost if you do not have an appetite in the morning
Breakfast is really important, but only if you have an appetite early in the morning. If you are not hungry and force yourself to eat, this will put an unnecessary strain on your digestive system, which leads to an increase in acid secretion in the stomach. The common belief that breakfast is important in diets aimed at weight loss is correct. But it may not apply to everyone, especially to people who have had a late dinner.
Breakfast without appetite is more harmful than skipping the first meal of the day. In such cases, the body begins to produce more acid and enzymes that disrupt the body's natural processes. This standard applies in full force to children. Some children wake up hungry, but there are those who have no appetite when they wake up and they should not be forced to eat breakfast. Sometimes the body knows better what its needs are.
Very often people are not hungry immediately after waking up, because the body is still in the process of detox and recovery. This means that it is still at rest and the digestive system is not ready for work yet.
Appetite can appear an hour or two after waking up, and in some people even around noon. This is the time when you should eat, namely when you feel hungry. If you get hungry around noon, it may be due to a late, hearty dinner, which is not very good for the body.
People who eat late or do not eat breakfast are often subjected to "periodic fasting" diets. This is a common regimen used for weight loss, detoxification, improved sleep, etc.
There are opinions that not only breakfast, but also the other main meals of the day should not be considered as the most important and indispensable and the body should be burdened with food that is not needed at the moment.
Dinner is also considered a very important meal and children are made to eat well at dinner. Experts advise it to be low in carbohydrates, as this is the time when the metabolism slows down.
