A research group led by Associate Professor Hiroaki Oda of Nagoya University graduate school found that skipping breakfast not only increases weight and increases the possibility of metabolic syndrome, but also causes muscle atrophy and locomotive syndrome (movement function due to locomotive disorders). It was also found to increase the risk of sarcopenia (decrease) and sarcopenia (age-related muscle weakness).
So far, there has been a long-standing "breakfast debate" about the role of breakfast in health.Many studies have shown that breakfast habits are good for your health and have a weight-reducing effect. Using experimental animals (rats) fed a high-fat diet, the 2018 research group revealed at the genetic level that skipping breakfast results in weight gain as a result of abnormal body clocks.
This time, mice were used to feed a normal diet, and the first 4 hours of the active period were prevented from being eaten, and breakfast was skipped.As a result, even in the case of a normal diet, the weight of adipose tissue increased due to the lack of breakfast, and the weight gain was observed.It was found that this was due to abnormalities in body temperature and clocks in the liver and adipose tissue.Furthermore, for the first time, we have found that skipping breakfast reduces muscle weight.This is believed to be due to an abnormality in the muscle clock.
The study found that the habit of skipping breakfast not only increased the risk of metabolic syndrome, but also increased the risk of locomotive syndrome and sarcopenia.Breakfast has the role of supplying sufficient nutrients to children, is expected to have the effect of suppressing metabolic syndrome in adults, and has the effect of suppressing muscle atrophy and reducing the risk of locomotive syndrome and sarcopenia in old age. It is said that there is.
