It is very common for people to skip breakfast because they don't feel like eating it. You may wonder why people's morning hunger isn’t there. It can be due to numerous reasons. Tap to know them!
High Morning Cortisol
When we wake up, cortisol (stress hormone) is already elevated in our body, which suppresses hunger, making us skip breakfast.
Dehydration
It can also be because of dehydration, because when we wake up, our body has had less fluid intake, which can sometimes suppress appetite.
Circadian Rhythm
When our circadian rhythm is disrupted, hormonal fluctuations take place in appetite regulating hormones, lowering ghrelin levels in the morning, reducing appetite.
Poor sleep quality
Poor sleep quality may sometimes lead to feelings of nausea or sluggishness, suppressing hunger and making us skip breakfast.
Blood Sugar Regulation
Our blood sugar levels may be slightly elevated in the morning, which can signal satiety to the brain, reducing morning hunger.
