Skipping breakfast can put you at risk.

There’s a new health hazard regarding breakfast - NOT eating it. 

A recent study found that skipping breakfast could increase the risk of heart attack. Older men are most at risk, there odds spike 27%. The researchers found that those who don’t eat breakfast are more likely to eat larger meals later in the day. The body works harder to process those meals and breakfast skippers may experience spikes in sugar levels and overall stress on the body.

Experts say those who do eat breakfast tend to have healthier diets. Those who regularly skip it are more likely to be obese or have high blood pressure - both significant risk factors of heart attack.
