"There is a 1.7 percent overall decrease in healthiness of what's eaten for every hour of the day that passes after breakfast."
Making healthy choices at breakfast is easy, and at least during the week, is commonly our healthiest choice of the day. Based on recent information, the people of nearly every the country on the globe makes the healthiest dietary choices early in the day, and dietary choices become progressively less healthy as the day progresses.Is it lack of healthy food options after dark? Is our willpower 'used up' by 6pm? Do we have progressively stronger cravings by day's end?
Researchers do not know these answers. What is known--- our choices are less healthy at the day's end than at the day's beginning, --significantly-- less healthy. Equipping ourselves with this knowledge may not transform our diet into the optimal 8-9 fruit and vegetable servings per day or 20 lbs weight loss in the next 2 months, but it does empower us to be more mindful in our eating selections. Goal: Mindful Eating.
