People who eat between 15% and 30% of their daily calories during breakfast have a lower risk of metabolic syndrome. metabolic syndrome occurs when at least three of the following requirements occur in the same person: obesity, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Research now carried out reveals how a proper breakfast decreases the risk of developing this pathology. The study was carried out in volunteers of the prospective study on diet, cancer and health EPIC in Asturias, Granada, Murcia, Navarra, Guipúzcoa and Barcelona.
