Skipping Breakfast Leads to Depression

July 12, 2025

Skipping breakfast leads to depression, irritability, and anxiety. Scientists analyzed the habits of over 80,000 people and found that those who regularly eat in the morning feel better psycho-emotionally. However, people who constantly skip breakfast feel sadder, more anxious, and generally unstable. Simply eating in the morning reduces the stress hormone cortisol and regulates circadian rhythms - these influence mood and life satisfaction.
