Should Men and Women Eat Different Breakfasts?
New research has found that men’s and women’s metabolisms favor eating different foods at breakfast time and could be key to developing personalized nutrition strategies that help to address health issues or lose weight.
Diet and nutrition are regularly put forward as a way of addressing health problems like increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat and high cholesterol levels. Together, this cluster of conditions, often referred to as ‘metabolic syndrome,’ increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Plenty of research has compared the pros (and cons) of different diets, from keto and paleo to intermittent fasting, and their effect on weight loss. But what influence does sex have on diet and dieting? A new study by researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, has used mathematical models of metabolism to answer that question as it relates to the ‘most important meal of the day,’ breakfast.
