Psychological Benefits of Breakfast
Eating food at breakfast turns out to have physiological and psychological benefits. So it is not just to eliminate hunger and fulfillment of nutrition alone.
Busyness in the morning sometimes makes us often just have time to sip drinks or even skip breakfast. In fact, many studies that prove that the activity of eating food at breakfast has many benefits. This was revealed by Nutritionist Dr. Rita Ramayulis, DCN, M.Kes. According to him, by eating food at breakfast, we can feel more benefits, both physiologically and psychologically, compared to consuming only drinks.
In his presentation, Rita explained, the food processing process is related to the skills and ability to coordinate gross motor movements around the mouth which not only stimulates the digestive organs but also other organs including the heart in charge of pumping blood. "Increasing blood circulation will make the distribution of oxygen and nutrients better. Thus the work of the brain and muscles will be better, "he explained
Therefore, by eating food, we can not only reduce hunger, but also improve cognitive abilities such as memory and focus. Rita added that the food dozing process can reduce the hormone Grealin, a hormone that plays a role in stimulating appetite and increasing the hormone Cholecytokinin which can reduce appetite.
"Thus, if we eat food at breakfast, we can get a longer feeling of satiety. Therefore, choosing a breakfast menu wisely for example in the form of foods that contain multigrain, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, "he added.
Rita explained that the nutritious food menu should include six elements. Namely carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. "What is said to be eating is an effort to meet nutritional needs, so there is activity involved. Eating itself is an activity to chew, mix food, swallow, and sip for drinks. And this applies to all age groups.
This definition of eating is certainly different from drinking which is entering water into the body (gulping it). While breakfast is an activity of eating and drinking, so breakfast should include the process of eating and drinking not just drinking. Breakfast is emphasized Rita is very important because it provides energy and nutrients to the body after fasting all night. "At night the body burns to work the heart and other organs," said Rita, who also wrote some of these nutrition books.
Breakfast will increase productive work, concentration thinking, and learning will also be better. Justified by Sarah Elder as a Nutritionist quoted from Bbc.com, the body uses a lot of stored energy for growth and repair of the body at night. "Eating breakfast with balanced nutrition, helps increase our energy including protein and calcium throughout the night," he said.
On this occasion, Wulan's Executive Business Officer Dairy Nestle Indonesia Windy Cahyaning explained the fact that 51% of Indonesians realize that breakfast is the most important meal time of the day, but 76% of people who eat breakfast in the morning haven't chosen a menu that matches the golden standard breakfast, which must consist of food and drinks, not just one of them.
Furthermore, in a study carried out in the US of 50000 people over seven years it was revealed that those who ate the most portions among other meals turned out to have a lower body mass index than those who ate a larger portion of lunch or dinner. The researchers argue, that breakfast helps increase satiety, reduce daily calorie intake, and improve the quality of our diet. Because, usually the breakfast menu is higher in fiber and nutrition.
"Since last year, Nestlé Nestum, grainsmarta breakfast cereal with a unique combination of multigrain consisting of whole wheat, rice, corn, fiber food, vitamins and minerals, is present in Indonesia to support Nestlé's commitment to improve quality of life and contribute to the future healthier front, "said Windy.
