Breakfast; a simple way to prevent diabetes

 
 
Breakfast foods are good sources of important nutrients such as calcium, iron & B vitamins as well as protein and fibre.

Studies show that eating first thing in the morning can help stabilise blood sugar levels, which regulate appetite and energy.

In turn this helps reduce the risk of type-2 diabetes.

Going  too long without eating, puts your body into starvation mode.

When you finally give in to your hunger later in the day, and probably overeat, your body will grab all the fat from your meal and store it which leads to weight gain.

For diabetics  as well as stabilising blood sugar levels, a good breakfast helps “remind” beta cells in the pancreas to release insulin.
