Dietician issues breakfast warning
Tuesday 20th April 2010
A medical expert has issued a warning concerning what people eat for breakfast.
Vanessa Hansen, clinical lead dietician at the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, said skipping the meal can mean that individuals snack on unhealthy food during the day, the Huddersfield Daily Examiner reports.
She made her remarks following the release of Dr Oetker Onken's Great British Breakfast survey, which suggested that 64 per cent of Britons do not eat at the beginning of the day.
The firm - which has roots tracing back to 1893 - also found that 74 per cent of men reported they do not consume a meal until lunch time.
Ms Hansen stated: "Skipping breakfast makes it less likely that people will get all the nutrition they need and more likely they will snack on unhealthy things during the morning."
Breakfast cereals are particularly good, she added, as they often contain extra vitamins and minerals.
