Plenty of research has found that eating breakfast is important for weight maintenance, metabolism and overall good health. Now, the evidence gets even stronger: a small new randomized controlled trial finds that regularly eating a substantial morning meal directly affects how fat cells function in the body by changing the activity of genes involved in fat metabolism and insulin resistance. The findings suggest that eating breakfast every morning may help lower people's risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the study authors say-and that even if a morning meal increases a person's total calorie consumption, those calories may be offset by other energy-burning benefits. 大量研究发现：吃早饭对保持体重、促进新陈代谢和维持整体健康十分重要。现在，证据进一步表明：一项新的小型随机对照试验发现，定期吃丰盛的早餐通过改变与脂肪新陈代谢和胰岛素抵抗性相关的基因活动，直接影响着体内脂肪细胞的运作。研究结果表明，每天都吃早饭或能帮助降低人们患2型糖尿病、心血管疾病的风险，研究作者说道--即使吃早饭会增加一个人的总体卡路里摄入量，但这些卡路里也能被其它燃烧能量的益处所抵消。 |
