A study by a research team at the National Cancer Center and Osaka University found that people who skip breakfast have a higher risk of developing a stroke.It is the first time in the world that an increased risk of stroke has been confirmed because the increase in blood pressure in the morning increases without eating breakfast.
The results showed that the group who had breakfast 0 to 2 times a week had 1.18 times more strokes such as cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction than the group who ate daily.Of these, cerebral hemorrhage was 1.36 times higher, but no association with subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, or ischemic heart disease was found.
The greatest risk of cerebral hemorrhage is high blood pressure, which is thought to be particularly significant in the early morning.It has been found that skipping breakfast raises blood pressure from the stress of hunger, while eating breakfast suppresses the rise in blood pressure.For this reason, the research team believes that the increase in blood pressure caused by skipping breakfast increased the risk of cerebral hemorrhage.
Various disadvantages have been reported so far, such as being prone to obesity if you skip breakfast.The research team says that the importance of breakfast was reaffirmed in this survey.
