11.A study of 27,000men showed those skipping (不吃) breakfast were at a greater risk of heart problems.The British Heart Foundation said breakfast helped people resist (抵制) sugary snacks before lunch.The men,aged 45-82,were studied for 16years.During that time there were more than 1,500heart attacks or cases of deadly heart failure.However,people who skipped breakfast were 27% more likely to have heart problems than those who started the day with a meal.The researchers took into consideration other lifestyle risk factors (因素) such as smoking and exercise.
Researcher Dr Leah Cahill told the BBC:"The take-home message is to eat in the morning when you wake up,preferably within an hour.The results show that something is better than nothing,but it's always better to have something healthy and balanced."
She said the timing of the meal seemed to be key and waiting until lunch rather than"having breakfast"may be straining (损伤) the body over time.This could be increasing the risk of high blood pressure and fatness which could in turn damage the heart."Don't skip breakfast,"Dr Cahill suggested.
Victoria Taylor,an expert with the British Heart Foundation,said:"These researchers only looked at men aged over 45,so we would need to see further research to prove that breakfast has the same effect on the heart health of other groups of people.What we do know is that a healthy breakfast can make that mid-morning biscuit less templing,as well as giving you another opportunity to widen the variety of foods in your diet.Cereals (谷类食品) with low fat milk are a good way to start the day.Try a banana or dried fruit on top and you'll be on your way to a fine day before you've even left the house."
