The trigger plaque of atherosclerosis consists of cholesterol, fatty substances, calcium, and fibrin (substances in the blood). It can cause blockage causing the circulation of blood and oxygen from the arteries to the body organs is inhibited. Aterclerosis is often classified as a cardiac disorder. However, it can also occur in arteries in other parts of the body such as the brain and kidneys.
"The greater the percentage of energy consumed early in the day can have a good impact on cardiovascular health (such as heart and blood vessels)," said study head. ValentÃn Fuster director of Mount Sinai Heart of New York City at the same time and Managing Editor in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, quoted by Channelnewsasia, Tuesday (3/10).
Researchers of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology have previously linked breakfast negativity with an increased risk of problems that can lead to heart disease such as obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
For this latest study the researchers collected data through dietary quizzes against 4,052 adults who did not have a history of heart problems. Overall, only three percent of participants were negligent in breakfast, while the other 69 percent generally consumed a light breakfast in the morning (accounted for 5 percent to 20 percent of calories a day), and another 28 percent full breakfast (accounted for more than 20 percent of the calories absorbed per day).
Those who skip breakfast are more men, smokers, and dieters who consume most of their daily calories before lunch. When eating, passers-by breakfast only spend no more than five minutes to eat breakfast and more often consume coffee or orange juice.
Compared to those who had full breakfasts, those who had little breakfast were found to have a percentage of up to 21 percent could have damage in the main arteries in the neck and 17 percent more likely to have damage to major blood vessels in the abdominal area.
In addition to the high risk of atherosclerosis, those who skip breakfast also berdko have blood pressure, and blood sugar levels higher. Participants who skipped breakfast were found to be more likely to have an unhealthy lifestyle such as consuming alcohol and smoking. They also tend to be overweight or obese.
For the record, the study, according to researchers, is not designed to prove that skipping breakfast directly causes heart trouble or thickening of the arteries. Another note from this study is that some people may skip breakfast because of obesity and try to reduce body weight or to reduce other risks associated with heart problems, one of them atherosclerosis.
"Many people who are overweight skip breakfast or other snacks in the hope of reducing obesity need to know that some studies have repeatedly shown that contrary to the beliefs of many people, the habit can be characterized by weight gain and may trigger abnormal metabolism including increased risk metabolic syndrome and diabetes, "said Dr. Prakash Deedwania, a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco.
"These studies have proven the old adage that breakfast is the most important meal every day," he added.
Meanwhile, nutrition researcher at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, Marie-Pierre St-Onge, says those who regularly eat breakfast tend to live a healthier lifestyle, exercise more often, eat better, and smoke less than those who skip breakfast morning. "I think, for everyone, eating a healthy breakfast is one healthy step," said St-Onge who was not involved in the study.
He said the breakfast does not have to be excessive. The important thing, he said, do not wait too long to eat. It can instead encourage consuming unhealthy snacks or anything they can consume while waiting for lunch.
