Ideal Time for Breakfast

Jakarta, the habit of delaying breakfast is not recommended, especially not breakfast at all even though the goal for thin fast. Breakfast soon as possible after you wake up would be better for fast metabolism so the body does not feel hungry.

Disruption of metabolic cycles due to no breakfast in the morning can cause loss of control over hunger. As a result when it comes time for lunch, your appetite will increase and become uncontrollable food intake so that it triggers obesity.

Nutrition experts from the IPB, Prof Dr Ir Made Astawan MS said a healthy diet is determined by the "3J" ie, Schedule, Type and Amount. Breakfast is one meal that should not be missed, as important as lunch and dinner.

"Ideally performed 1 hour after bangung sleep, because at that time most conducive to metabolism. So-called breakfast or breaking the fast (break fast) meals after fasting during sleep tonight," said Prof. Made in the presentation of research results "Second Meal Effect" in Brass Suites, Jakarta, Thursday (12/09/2010).

Regarding the type of food for breakfast, Prof. Made suggested that glycemic index (GI) is low, such as vegetables and fruits such as bananas or medium GI and rice. Foods with low GI will make the stomach feel full longer, so avoid the urge to snack.

Foods with high GI such as bread and flour should be avoided because it makes the stomach more quickly hungry. Type of food with high GI fit only consumed after heavy physical activity, because at that time the body does require a quick source of energy to digest.

For the current amount of food must be eaten at breakfast, there is no definite limit because everyone's needs differ depending on age, activity and weight. But as the benchmark of Prof. Madeleine suggest 25 percent of caloric needs should be met at breakfast.

"If the average person needs 2,000 calories a day, then at least 500 calories must exist in the breakfast menu. Do not worry too much as well, I'll even sleepy because its energy is concentrated in the digestive system," added Prof Made.
