ANI: Eating more calories in the morning
breakfast can have a positive impact on women with problems of infertility, a
new study has revealed.
Research, conducted by Prof. Oren Froy from the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem, and Prof. Daniela Jocabovitz and Dr. Julio Weinstein from Tel Aviv
University and Wolfson Medical Center, showed that a big breakfast increases
fertility among woman who suffer from menstrual irregularities.
The study examined whether meal times have an impact on the
health of woman with menstrual irregularities due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
The experiment was carried out at Wolfson Medical Center on 60 women over a
12-week period.
The women were divided into two groups and were allowed to
consume about 1,800 calories a day. The difference between the groups was the
timing of their largest meal. One group consumed their largest meal,
approximately 980 calories, at breakfast, while the other at dinner.
The findings showed improved results for the group that consumed
a big breakfast. Glucose levels and insulin resistance decreased by 8 percent,
while the second group ("dinner") showed no changes.
Another finding showed that among the “breakfast” group,
testosterone levels decreased by nearly 50 percent, while the “dinner” group
level stayed neutral. In addition, there was a much higher rate of ovulating
woman within the “breakfast group” compared to the “dinner” group, showing that
eating a hearty breakfast leads to an increase in the level of fertility among
woman with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
The study is published in journal Clinical Science.
