Why does my stomach hurt when I eat breakfast?

Breakfast is the most important thing in the day, so you must eat well in the morning. If you have stomachache after eating breakfast, it may be because you have not eaten breakfast for a long time, which leads to digestive system disorders. Choose healthy protein-rich foods for breakfast, and it is best to eat a boiled egg for breakfast. Drinking a glass of warm water in the morning is very helpful in cleaning the intestines. Not eating breakfast for a long time will also affect your intelligence. It is said that apples are best eaten in the morning, but some people may not have this condition.

The hazards of teenagers not eating breakfast are as follows:

1. Harm to the brain. Although the weight of brain tissue only accounts for 2-3% of human body weight, the brain's blood flow is about 800 ml per minute, oxygen consumption is about 45 ml per minute, and sugar consumption is about 5 grams per hour. The brain tissue of teenagers is in the development stage, and their demand for blood, oxygen and glucose is higher than that of adults. If blood sugar is too low, brain consciousness activities will be impaired. If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably affect the weight and morphological development of the brain.

2. Harm to the digestive system. Under normal circumstances, the food eaten the night before is emptied from the stomach into the intestines after about six hours. If you don’t eat breakfast the next day, gastric acid and various digestive enzymes in the stomach will “digest” the gastric mucosa. If things go on like this for a long time, the normal function of cells to secrete mucus will be destroyed, which can easily cause digestive system diseases such as gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.

3. It causes arteriosclerosis and is more likely to lead to obesity. Many teenage students do not eat breakfast because they are afraid of gaining weight. There is no scientific basis for this practice. The human body has a standard demand for calories. If you skip breakfast, you will inevitably increase your food intake for lunch and dinner. After dinner, people generally do less exercise, which makes it easier for fat to accumulate and lead to obesity. In addition, skipping breakfast for a long time will cause cholesterol and lipoprotein to deposit in the inner walls of blood vessels, leading to vascular sclerosis.

At present, teenage students have a heavy academic workload and are packed with classes every morning, which puts their brains and bodies in a state of high tension. Since skipping breakfast or having an unreasonable breakfast nutrition for a long time can cause great harm to the health of teenagers, I hope that you and your classmates can take the issue of eating breakfast seriously rather than perfunctorily. I also hope that your family can cooperate with you to facilitate your healthy growth.

1. Makes you slow to react: Breakfast is the source of energy for brain activity. If you skip breakfast, your body cannot supply enough blood sugar for consumption, and you will feel tired, exhausted, unable to concentrate, lack of energy, and slow to react.

2. Chronic diseases may occur: If you skip breakfast and start the day's work with an empty stomach, the body will mobilize glands such as the thyroid, parathyroid, and pituitary gland to burn tissues in order to obtain energy. This will not only cause hyperfunction of the glands, but will also make the body acidic and lead to chronic diseases.

3. The stomach and intestines may "rebel": skipping breakfast and eating until noon will cause the stomach to be hungry for a long time, which will cause excessive secretion of gastric acid, thus easily causing gastritis and gastric ulcers.

4. Constipation "comes out of the cage": When three meals are eaten on time, the gastrocolic reflex phenomenon will naturally occur in the human body, which simply means promoting defecation. If skipping breakfast becomes a habit, it may cause gastrocolic reflex disorders in the long term, thus causing constipation.

5. It will make you closer to obesity: Once the human body realizes that nutrition is deficient, the first thing it consumes is carbohydrates and proteins, and the last thing it consumes is fat. So don’t think that skipping breakfast will help burn fat. On the contrary, skipping breakfast will cause you to eat more at lunch and dinner, which will make you fatter instead of losing weight.

Friendly reminder: Skipping breakfast is a big mistake in losing weight. Don't think that skipping breakfast can reduce calorie intake and thus lose weight. Nutritionists have confirmed that breakfast is the meal of the day that is least likely to be converted into fat. Skipping breakfast every day will only make you eat more at lunch. Japanese sumo wrestlers do not eat breakfast and only eat lunch and dinner, so breakfast is very important. The best ratio of breakfast, lunch and dinner is 3:2:1. This way, the essence you eat in a day can be consumed during the time when your physical strength is the highest. According to nutrition experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After a good rest, the body is fully prepared for a day's work and study. At this time, it is really necessary to take in rich nutrition to cope with the whole day's consumption.

What are the dangers of skipping breakfast?

First, skipping breakfast can cause hypoglycemia and make people feel listless. After a night's sleep, the nutrients in the human body have been exhausted, and the blood sugar concentration is at a low level. If you do not eat breakfast, the blood sugar concentration will continue to drop, resulting in pale complexion, weak limbs, lack of energy, and sometimes even hypoglycemia shock.

Second, it will seriously affect memory. According to experts, the brain's energy comes from glucose, a type of sugar that can only accumulate in the liver and kidneys and can only be stored for eight hours. If you don’t eat in the morning, your brain will lack energy and cause memory loss.

Third, skipping breakfast can easily lead to chronic diseases such as gastritis and ulcers. Fourth, it induces gallstones. When people are on an empty stomach in the morning, the cholesterol saturation in the bile in the body is higher. Eating breakfast is beneficial to the excretion of bile from the gallbladder; otherwise, it is easy for the cholesterol in the bile to precipitate and form stones. A survey of women with gallstones by British scholars found that the disease was related to not eating breakfast for a long time. So not only should we eat breakfast, but we should also attach great importance to the quality of breakfast. Some people believe that: "Breakfast is gold, lunch is silver, and dinner is copper." Eating breakfast every day is one of the factors to prolong life.

Often skipping breakfast can cause a lot of harm to the human body.

(1) Not eating breakfast can easily lead to digestive tract diseases. After a night's sleep, the food in the intestines has been completely digested in the morning and is in urgent need of replenishment. If you don't eat well for breakfast, your lunch will inevitably increase, causing excessive burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to diseases such as gastric ulcers, gastritis, and indigestion.

(2) Skipping breakfast will reduce brain function and affect brain development. When you are hungry, your blood sugar level drops, which can cause brain disorders, leading to dizziness, inattention, memory loss, fatigue, and even affect brain function, leading to a decrease in intelligence.

(3) Not eating breakfast will lead to high cholesterol in the body. People who skip breakfast have 33% higher cholesterol than those who eat breakfast, and all children with high cholesterol have fatty streaks in their blood vessels, which is an early sign of atherosclerosis.

(4) Not eating breakfast for a long time can also make you prone to gallstones. The concentration of cholesterol in bile in a person's body is particularly high when the stomach is fasting. When you eat breakfast normally, your gallbladder contracts and cholesterol is excreted with bile. If you skip breakfast, your gallbladder will not contract and you will be prone to developing gallstones in the long run.
