Help with heart health, blood sugar control, and weight management by eating breakfast earlier
Studies show that the human body is more sensitive to the hormone insulin in the morning, which means it can process carbohydrates more efficiently, helping to stabilize blood sugar and energy levels throughout the day.
From a metabolic perspective, eating breakfast before 8:30 a.m. is ideal and helps regulate appetite and reduce calorie intake, which leads to greater weight loss, improved triglyceride levels, glucose regulation, and reduced hunger levels, because hunger hormones follow a specific cycle and pattern based on when we typically eat.
This also aligns with another study that found that eating breakfast after 9 a.m. was associated with a higher risk of heart disease, so eating breakfast earlier may also be beneficial for heart health.
And finally:
The timing of eating is only one piece of the puzzle. The quality of meals with more protein and fiber and the amount of calories we consume are as important as the right time we eat and can help us feel full sooner, promote muscle growth and repair, and generally reduce cravings and overeating.
