    Abstract

    Omitting breakfast occurs when you don't eat it at least three times a week. Eating breakfast is recommended as part of a balanced diet since it is linked to getting enough macro and micronutrients and keeping your body mass index where it should be. Material and Methods: The study was an observational one done at the Department of Physiology, Father Colombo Institute of Medical Sciences, Warangal, Telangana, India. The Physiology lab was responsible for recording physiological indicators, conducting clinical examinations, and conducting mental tasks. Blood glucose levels were measured before and after eating in the Department of Physiology. Research was performed from June 2023 to November 2023. Results: We found that among the people who admitted to skipping breakfast at random, more women than men participated. Numerous studies have found that men and women eat breakfast differently. Our research confirms that women are more likely than males to forgo breakfast. Girls may be more likely to skip breakfast than boys because of the widespread belief that doing so will help them lose weight. This finding suggests that efforts to improve breakfast consumption should concentrate on women. Conclusion: Skipping breakfast is connected with poor performance in the digit span task. Blood sugar levels were found to be inversely related to the number of hours spent sleeping. In breakfast skippers, a low blood sugar level was correlated with poor performance on a digit span test.
