The breakfast that increases risk of death from heart disease 87%
Whether I’m whipping up a quick smoothie on a workday or digging into an omelet and toast on the weekends, I love breakfast.
I know not everyone is a breakfast person. But I have a hard time understanding how that can be…
I’m always ravenous in the morning, for one. So, skipping breakfast never feels like an option. Plus, I just plain love breakfast food. Pancakes. Toast. Hash browns. Smoothies. Oatmeal. Yogurt. Fruit. Eggs. Granola. I dig them all. Maybe too much. (So much, that I’m developing a craving for a huge breakfast smorgasbord as I write this. I may need to have breakfast for dinner tonight. That’s right. I love breakfast so much that I eat it for dinner… often.)
But maybe you’re not as enthusiastic about breakfast as I am. Maybe you can take it or leave it… and you often leave it.
If you do, I have bad news. Your breakfast habits (or lack thereof) are putting your heart in jeopardy…

How skipping breakfast harms your heart
Researchers from the University of Iowa and Wuhan University of Science and Technology just made an alarming discovery… especially if you’re not big on breakfast…
They found that not eating breakfast nearly doubles your cardiovascular disease risk.
Their study included survey data from 6,550 people between 40 and 75 years old who didn’t have cardiovascular disease or cancer. The survey included questions about how frequently participants ate breakfast. And researchers followed up with them an average of 18 years later.
It turns out, skipping breakfast has a serious effect on your heart.
Most people (59 percent) were big breakfast eaters like me. But there was a sizable group (5.1 percent) that never ate breakfast. The people who skipped breakfast daily, however, were 87 percent more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than people who always ate it. They were also nearly 20 percent more likely to die from any cause.
Why is missing breakfast so bad for you?
Researchers say people who skipped breakfast developed high blood pressure, negative changes to lipid levels and felt less full and satisfied after meals overall… none of which bode well for your heart or health.
Learn to love breakfast
So, eat breakfast… even if you don’t like it. It’s the simplest way to save your heart, and possibly even your life.
Of course, not all breakfasts are as healthy as others. Like I mentioned earlier, I love pretty much ALL breakfast foods. But I know that my pancake breakfasts aren’t as healthy as my green smoothie breakfasts.
In fact, if you’re really concerned about keeping your breakfast healthy, there’s one type of breakfast you should choose almost every day… something high-fat and low-carb.
A recent study from researchers from the University of British Columbia found that eating a high-fat, low-carb breakfast like an omelet balances your blood sugar all day long, makes you feel less hungry and decreases your sugar cravings throughout the day.
So, you’re just one omelet away from better blood sugar and a healthier heart. Bon appétit!
