简答
-A. One of the most well-known phrases of parents everywhere is that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Many of us believe that skipping breakfast is a serious mistake, even if only two thirds of British eat breakfast regularly.
-B. Eating a balanced breakfast helps to up our energy, as well as make up for protein and calcium (钙) used throughout the night. But there’s disagreement over whether breakfast should be the most important of all meals. There have been worries around the sugar content of breakfast and some even believe that breakfast is “dangerous”.
-C.What’s the reality? Most researchers pay attention to the link of breakfast (or breakfast-skipping) to overweight. According to a U.S. study on 50,000 people over seven years, researchers found that those who made breakfast the largest meal of the day were more likely to have a lower BMI (身体质量指数). They also said that breakfast helps reduce daily calorie intake.
-D.But it was unclear if that was the reason — or if breakfast skippers were just more likely to be overweight to begin with. To find out, researchers carried out a study in which 52 overweight women took part in a weight loss program. All had the same number of calories over the day, but half had breakfast, while the other half did not. They found that it wasn’t breakfast itself that made people lose weight: It was changing their normal way of life.
-E.If breakfast alone doesn’t lead to weight loss, why is there a link between overweight and breakfast-skipping? Alexandra Johnstone, a professor at the University of Aberdeen, said that it may simply be because breakfast-skippers know little about health. “Those who eat breakfast choose to develop health-enhancing habits such as regular exercise and not smoking,” she says.
-F.According to a study looking into the relationship between breakfast and weight, there is not enough evidence to support or refute (反驳) the idea that breakfast influences weight or food intake.
-G.Researchers are halfway through research finding out how the time we eat influences body weight. Early findings suggest that a bigger breakfast helps lose weight. Breakfast has been found to affect more than just weight. Skipping breakfast has been associated with a 27% increased risk of heart problems.
-H.Breakfast also has something to do with improved brain function. Studies found that eating breakfast can improve memory, though the influences on other brain functions were not clear.
-I.The most important is what we eat for breakfast. High-protein breakfasts have been found quite useful in reducing the longing (渴望) for food later in the day.
-J.But some research suggests if we’re going to eat sweet foods, it’s best to do it early. A study found that there is no agreement yet on what type of breakfast is healthier, and found that the type of breakfast doesn’t matter as much as simply eating something. As for breakfast, there’s no clear evidence on what we should eat and when. Scientists believe that we should listen to our own bodies and eat when we’re hungry. “Breakfast is most important for people who are hungry when they wake up,” Johnstone says.
-61.To keep oneself healthy, eating breakfast is more important than choosing what to eat.
-62.Researchers found it was the changes in eating habits rather than breakfast itself that led to weight loss.
-63.It has been found that not eating breakfast is related to certain diseases.
-64.Ideas differ as to whether breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
-65.According to the professor, overweight is related to a lack of basic knowledge of health.
-66.Some scientists claim that people should consume the right kind of food at breakfast.
-67.More research is needed to prove that breakfast is related to weight loss or food intake.
-68.People who pay great attention to breakfast tend to have lower calorie intake.
-69.Many studies reveal that eating breakfast helps people memorize better.
-70.It is widely considered wrong not to eat breakfast.
