Fitness and Workout Regime- how important are your meals ?

'EAT BREAKFAST LIKE A KING,LUNCH LIKE A PRINCE AND DINNER LIKE A BEGGAR'?

My Grandmother always use to say this and I realized the importance of Meals... she was very true

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, and it is the meal that the body uses to top up its glucose levels after eight to twelve hours of fasting.

Glucose is vital for the brain and it's the main energy source for the body as well, it also fuels the muscles that are necessary for physical activity through the day. If you skip breakfast, u will have a shorter attention span, be less alert, take longer to react,have low blood sugar,and decreased productivity. 

At lunch time,eat a substantial meal to fuel u for the afternoon but make sure that it isn't too heavy.  Essentially, it should be a medium-sized meal-smaller than breakfast but larger than dinner. 

If you eat a large meal at dinner, which is traditional in most homes, weight gain can occur as the body cannot use all the energy in the food and thus stores it as fat instead.  A heavy meal at dinner can also cause sleep disturbances. 

We need the most energy at the beginning of the day, and the least energy at the end, when most Daily tasks are over and we are relaxing.  Eat according to the needs of your day.

If you have an office or other sedentary jobs, eat lighter meals. If your job is more active, eat foods that provide sustained energy. 

If you very athletic and train hard, then u will need more nourishment towards the end of the day, to sustain your training needs.

DON'T FORGET.
