The numbers do not lie. Researchers from Harvard analyzed data obtained from sixteen years of research, in which were involved nearly 27,000 health professionals, all men, who followed their eating habits and their overall health condition between 1992 and 2008. During this period, 1,572 men suffered from some heart disease.
“We know so much about reducing the risk of heart disease, as well as that exercise and quitting smoking requires a lot of effort. However, having breakfast is easy and not demanding as it is not time-consuming or expensive. Eat at least a bowel of cereals before you start the day, “said Eric Rimm, an author and an epidemiology and nutrition professor at the School of Public Health at Harvard University.
Breakfast usually contains healthy foods and by skipping this vital meal, we destroy out health. Research from Harvard University found that men who skip breakfast are skipping one more meal during the day, which leads to overeating and consuming high-calorie meals- claims Rimm.
The study also found that the risk of heart disease is increased by 55% in men who regularly eat late at night. Until now, much attention has been paid to research on the quality and type of food, and a little about how we need to consume those foods.
“There isn’t a research conducted only on women, but I think that the results will be the same,” says Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital.
