Why Breakfast Matters for Insulin Health
If you're living with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, or insulin resistance, listen up! A recent study found that skipping breakfast can actually harm your beta cells, the tiny powerhouses in your pancreas that produce insulin.
When you skip breakfast, your beta cells can become less efficient, leading to decreased insulin production and worsened insulin resistance.
But here's the good news: eating breakfast can actually help improve beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity!
So, if you're looking to support your overall health and glucose regulation, consider making breakfast a priority. And don't just reach for anything - aim for a balanced breakfast that includes protein, complex carbs, and a serving of fruit or veggies for an extra boost of fiber and vitamins.
Think scrambled eggs with whole-grain toast and avocado, or Greek yogurt with berries and handful of nuts. By starting your day off right, you can help support your beta cells and set yourself up for a healthier day.
