A Health Tip a Day 2025/5/25

Skipping breakfast for a long time triggers the body's "starvation mode," which stores fat like a miser hoarding wealth. After a night of consumption, the body needs fuel in the morning. The empty stomach causes blood sugar levels to drop, prompting the brain to send out urgent signals for high-calorie rescue. As a result, when you finally eat, your body not only absorbs excessive calories, but the efficiency of fat synthesis increases by 20%. Worse, muscles are broken down for energy, reducing the basal metabolic rate by 2% each time. Research shows that long-term skipping of breakfast increases the risk of obesity by 48% compared to those who eat regularly.
