Fried breakfast is healthiest start to day, say scientists

A breakfast of bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, and beans could be the healthiest start to the day, according to new research.

Scientists believe that 
breakfast programmes the metabolism for the rest of the day, and a fatty meal will help the body break down fat later on.

Carbohydrate rich foods in contrast appear mainly to prepare the body to break down only carbohydrates, the International Journal of Obesity reports.

Dr Martin Young, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said: 
“The first meal you have appears to programme your metabolism for the rest of the day.

“This study suggests that if you ate a carbohydrate-rich breakfast it would promote carbohydrate utilisation throughout the rest of the day, 
whereas if you have a fat-rich breakfast, you (can) transfer your energy utilisation between carbohydrate and fat.”

The team of researchers found there may be some truth in the old saying 
“'eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper' 
– it may be the key to a healthy body and mind.”

Their study looked at the effects of eating different types of food – and of eating them at different times in the day, according to the Daily Mail.

Mice fed a high fat meal after waking remained healthy
, but those given a carb-rich breakfast, followed by a fatty dinner, did not fare as well.

Co-researcher Professor Molly Bray added: 
“Our study seems to show that if you really want to be able to efficiently respond to mixed meals across a day, a meal in higher fat content in the morning is a good thing.”

For the first meal eaten after a night's sleep appears to programme the metabolism for the rest of the day, the researchers found.

And the age-old maxim
"Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper" 
may in fact be the best advice to follow to prevent metabolic syndrome, according to a new University of Alabama at Birmingham study.

Metabolic syndrome 
is characterized by abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, insulin resistance and other cardiovascular disease-risk factors.

The study, published online March 30 in the International Journal of Obesity, examined the influence exerted by the type of foods and specific timing of intake on the development of metabolic syndrome characteristics in mice. 

The UAB research revealed that mice fed a meal higher in fat after waking had normal metabolic profiles. 

In contrast, mice that ate a more carbohydrate-rich diet in the morning and consumed a high-fat meal at the end of the day saw increased weight gain, adiposity, glucose intolerance and other markers of the metabolic syndrome.

"Studies have looked at the type and quantity of food intake, but nobody has undertaken the question of whether the timing of what you eat and when you eat it influences body weight, even though we know sleep and altered circadian rhythms influence body weight," 
said the study's lead author Molly Bray, Ph.D., professor of epidemiology in the UAB School of Public Health.

Bray said the research team found that fat intake at the time of waking seems to turn on fat metabolism very efficiently and also turns on the animal's ability to respond to different types of food later in the day.

When the animals were fed carbohydrates upon waking, carbohydrate metabolism was turned on and seemed to stay on even when the animal was eating different kinds of food later in the day.

"The first meal you have appears to program your metabolism for the rest of the day," 
said study senior author Martin Young, Ph.D., associate professor of medicine in the UAB Division of Cardiovascular Disease. 
"This study suggests that if you ate a carbohydrate-rich breakfast it would promote carbohydrate utilization throughout the rest of the day, 
whereas, if you have a fat-rich breakfast, you have metabolic plasticity to transfer your energy utilization between carbohydrate and fat."

Bray and Young said the implications of this research are important for human dietary recommendations. Humans rarely eat a uniform diet throughout the day and need the ability to respond to alterations in diet quality. Adjusting dietary composition of a given meal is an important component in energy balance, and they said their findings suggest that recommendations for weight reduction and/or maintenance should include information about the timing of dietary intake plus the quality and quantity of intake.

"Humans eat a mixed diet, and our study, which we have repeated four times in animals, seems to show that if you really want to be able to efficiently respond to mixed meals across a day 
then a meal in higher fat content in the morning is a good thing," Bray said. 

"Another important component of our study is that, at the end of the day, the mice ate a low-caloric density meal, and we think that combination is key to the health benefits we've seen."

Bray and Young said further research needs to test whether similar observations are made with different types of dietary fats and carbohydrates, and it needs to be tested in humans to see if the findings are similar between rodents and humans.

"We're also working on a study right now to determine if these feeding regimens adversely affect heart function," Young said

Men and Women -in construction-often a topic or an aspect of it

In  1941 Dorothy L. Sayers gave a famous talk including the much-quoted section:
Dorothy Sayers was one of the first women graduates from Oxford.She was a high Anglican, and people associate her with the inklings. She wrote, inter alia, The Lord Peter Whimsey detective stories, very readable and marvellous English, the liveliest English Translation of Dante to date, and the WWII Radio dramatization of the Gospels , A man born to be king - all superb!

 Probably no man has ever troubled to imagine how strange his life would  appear to himself,  

if it were unrelentingly assessed in terms of his maleness:

 if everything he wore, said or did had to be justified by reference to female approval,

if he were compelled to regard himself, day in day out, not  as a member of society, but merely -salva reverentia- as a virile member of society;

if the centre of his dress-consciousness were the cod-piece, his education directed to making him a spirited lover and meek paterfamilias, his interests held to be natural only in so far as they were sexual;

if fromschool and lecture-room, ,press and pulpit, he heard the persistent outpouring of a shrill and scoldingvoice, bidding him remember his biological function;

if he were vexed by continual advice on how to add a rough male touch to his typing, how to be learned without losing his masculine appeal, how to combine chemical research  with seduction, how to play bridge without incurring the suspicion of impotence;

if, instead of allowing with a smile that “women prefer cave-men,” he felt the unrelenting pressure of a whole social structure forcing him to order all his goings in conformity with that pronouncement. 

                               He would hear -and would he like hearing? the female counterpart of  Dr X  informing him: 

“I am no supporter of the Horseback Hall doctrine of ,”gun-tail, plough-tail and stud”' as the only spheres for masculine action, but we do need a more definite conception of the nature and scope of man's life.”

                              In any book on sociology he would find, after the main portion dealing with human needs and rights, a supplementary chapter devoted to “the ,position of the ,male in the ,perfect ,state” 

his newspaper would assist him with a “Men's Corner,” telling him how, by the expenditure of a good deal of money and a couple of hours a day, he could attract the girls and retain his wife's affection’ 

and when he had succeeded in capturing a mate, his name would be taken from him, and society would present him with a special title to proclaim his achievement. 

                                People would write books called, “,History of the ,male,” or “Males of the Bible,”
or “,the ,psychology of the ,male,”

and he would be regaled daily with headlines, such as “,gentleman-,doctor's discovery,” “,male-secretary ,wins calcutta ,sweep,” “,men-,artists at the ,academy.” 

                        If he gave an interview to a reporter, or performed any unusual exploit, he would find it recorded in such terms as these: 

“Professor Bract, although a distinguished botanist, is not in any way an unmanly man. He has,in fact, a wife and seven children. Tall and burly, the hands with which he handles his delicate specimens are as gnarled and powerful as those of a lumberjack, and when  I swilled beer with him in his laboratory, he bawled his conclusions at me in a strong, gruff voice that implemented the promise of his swaggering moustache.”

 Or: 

“,there is nothing in the least feminine about the home surroundings of Mr. Focus, the famous children's photographer. His ,”den”' is panelled in teak and decorated with rude sculptures from ,easter ,island’ over his austere iron bedstead hangs a fine reproduction of the ,rape of the ,sabines.” 

Or: 

“I asked M.Sapristi,  the renowned chef, whether kitchen-cult was not a rather unusual occupation fora man. ”Not a bit of it!”' he replied,  bluffly. ,”,it is the genius that counts, not the sex. ,as they say in .la.belle .,ecosse, 'a man's a man for a' that!”'--and his gusty, manly guffaw blew three small patty pans from the dresser.”

      

                           Where Dr X  had disclaimed     adherence to the .,kinder, .,kirche,    .,kuche school of thought  

he would be edified by solemn discussions about “,should men serve in drapery establishments?“ 

and acrimonious ones about “tea-,drinking,men”‘  

by cross-shots of public affairs“from the masculine angle,” 

and by irritable correspondence about men who expose their anatomy on beaches -so masculine of them-, 

conceal it in dressing-gowns -too feminine of them-,

think about nothing but women,

pretend an unnatural indifference to women,

exploit their sex to get jobs, 

lower the tone of the office by their sexless appearance, 

and generally fail to please a public opinion which demands the incompatible. 

At dinner-parties he would hear the wheedling, unctuous,predatory female voice demand: “,and why should you trouble your handsome little head about politics?“  
 

                                 If, after a few centuries of this  kind of treatment, the male was a little self-conscious, a little on the defensive, and a little bewildered about what was required of him ,I should not blame him. 

If he traded a little upon his sex,I could forgive him. 

If he presented the world with a major social problem, ,I should scarcely be surprised. 

It would be more surprising if he retained any rag of sanity and self-respect.
