0:00.0	You must eat breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day,
0:02.8	everyone has said for the past 30 years.
0:04.5	Meanwhile, obesity rates and overweight rates are now
0:07.4	record proportions, even in young children.
0:10.2	So it turns out that short sleep time may be the reason why irregular breakfast eating and consumption is linked with higher amounts of obesity and being overweight.
0:18.6	So we're going to talk about a study titled, short sleep time may be the main reason for irregular breakfast,
0:24.3	two-cods overweight, a cross-sectional study.
0:27.2	Now, I think this is really interesting.
0:28.9	This was an analysis of about 1100 individuals that were at a university setting in China.

0:52.0	found that irregular breakfast eaters have increased body mass
0:55.6	indexes, increased waist circumference, poorer metabolic health, and beyond.

1:13.9	improper sleep wake cycles that is part of the same coin that is linked with
1:18.6	developing obesity and cardi metabolic disease and so they go on to say that debate continues over the optimal number and
