Skipping Breakfast and Heart Attacks
New research shows skipping breakfasr increases risk of heart attack
Lucky I had my bacon, baked beans, poached eggs and toast thnis morning
I am not suggesting that these reports are wrong. But, you have to wonder. I have not eaten breakfast since I left school & no heart attack yet. My father started smoking at the age of 9 & chain smoked until he died of Emphysema shortly before his 95th birthday. Life expectancy is improving every year & every senior person that I know who visits the doctor, has blood pressure problems that the doctor says will kill them without this & that medicine. It would appear that the only people that don't die from blood pressure are the ones that don't go to their doctors. We are continually told that if we don't exercise regularly, we will die young. But stats tell us that the couch potato lives the longest. All very interesting.
I never eat breakfast,I find eating on awakening abhorrent,it just does not sit well.
As a child i remember grabbing a bit of toast,porridge in winter,then i did not like it
During my working life i never ate breakfast,but by 9am smoko i could eat a horse,I eat at maybe 10 am,my digestive system will only tolerate 3 cups of coffee,painkillers and 3-4 rollies,my heart is fine,I have smoked,drunk grog,sucked metal dust,asbestos and untold welding fumes.
I have perfect blood pressure,low cholesterol,cured my self of type 2 diabetes,all this on cigarettes,coffee,and a very high saturated fat,low carb diet.
You die when your time is up,my belief is that it is predetermined and when it arrives it arrives and you die,no matter what you eat,but the downside is ill health by bad life choices,so your life can be good or bad depending what you eat,drink and think.
I have two older brothers,one has had a pacemaker fitted,non smoker.
The other just had pacemaker fitted,non smoking vegetarian.
I am the only one without heart problems,but a lot of other health problems,i think longevity has its place,just the quality is the problem.
i like a cooked brekkie - fried egg, bread, salami, tomato and coffee. yummy. i use olive oil for frying but very little of it needed in non-stick frypan.
i have no heart problems, low cholesterol, and blood pressure slightly on low side. i'm in my late sixties and intend to keep enjoying my brekkie, usually on a tray in bed.
isn't it great to be retired?
yep - but i never do breakfast in bed. too messy
Kika :)
Who is bringing a tray with brekkie in the mornings ???
abby - thats a bit personal. cud be her pool man, or the 20 something year old handyman
Sorry to dissappoint Jaguar but kika has one treasure of a hubby.
Like you I am green with envy - here I have to get up and cook everybody's porridge with cinnamon apples.
i am single and live alone (except for my cat), so i make my own breakfast. if you are careful and have a tray, there is no mess. so folks, you can also enjoy your brekkie in bed like me.
Mrs Bean cooks nice breakfasts.
Want some ???
What does Mrs Bean cook for breakfast ???
....If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
....A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, but is still fat.
....A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years, while
....A tortoise doesn't run and does mostly nothing, yet it lives for 150 years.
And you tell me to exercise? I don't think so.
I like that!
u wud, if you like looking like a beached whale
to continue with the eradication of the "Troll" virus,it must be stated that the process is not easy,although they are below the normal range of IQ ie: under 40,they do understand basic commands,similar to Pavlovs Dog,but alas bells are not feasible on a computer,so try to draw them into an intelligent conversation,this is hard,if they realise you are onto them they tend to quote other similar minds,through a search browser,this is the first sign that you let them know you have found their Achilles Heel,they will follow you after that from thread to thread,but you must not engage them in any way,this virus is starting to take parasitic properties,so keep your sandwiches away from your keyboard,lest any crumbs fall through the gaps!
Manual workers need a breakfast but keyboard ticklers do not.
I like the description of Keyboard ticklers too
"keyboard ticklers" - i like that description davey.
whether you have large or small meals may depend on the size of your meal. i like a fairly small breakfast, also a small lunch (usually sandwich and salad), and my main meal is dinner. i love cooking and eating, especially healthy food, and also like to have a glass of wine with my dinner.
my weight has not changed for many years, and i'm happy with it.
