My younger Child
Natasha, died of no Platelet Production in her body, a birth disorder (happens
to one in a million) which led me to research on Platelets which are tiny
elements in the blood that help us to not bleed to Death. For example if we get
a cut, they can clump together within our arteries owing to Cholesterol or
laque build up in the artery lining. There are most active in the morning and
tend to form internal blood clots at a great frequency and eating breakfast
prevents this activation associated with strokes and heart attacks!
Unfortunately Natasha did not ever get a chance to even Breakfast as she was
only 35 days old when she passed away. I dedicate this for the breakfast
skippers; you should stop that habit now! Iam sure you may hear innumerous times
that “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Research confirms that
one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast. Studies
have shown that as compared to Breakfast skippers, Breakfast eaters have one
half the risk of Obesity ( metabolism slows while you sleep, and does not get
back up until you eat again), strokes, heart attack and sudden death. Eating a healthy
breakfast can also help regulate your appetite throughout the day so you don't
overdo it at lunch and dinner or nibble unnecessarily.
