Skipping Meals

When it comes to your mind and body, skipping meals often is like skipping sleep, it is very harmful and actually toxic to you over time.
A new research on animals indicates that skipping meals leads to a series of metabolic miscues that can bring about abdominal weight gain.

Unbalanced Diet

Skipping meals definitely contributes to an unbalanced diet in people of all age groups. This signifies that it is almost impossible to make-up for the meals skipped in the meals actually eaten. The possibilities of mineral and vitamin deficiencies are extremely high. This problem can result in serious health conditions and problems if the skipping of meals continues into later life.

Weight Problems


While many grownups and particularly teens assume skipping meals allows weight loss the opposite is true. Having regular meals, particularly breakfast first thing to begin the day, turbo charges an effective metabolism. As everyone knows an effective metabolism means the body efficiently breaks down food and gets rid of waste which specifically cuts down weight while removing toxins.

At dinnertime, your body is so tired and hungry for calories, that you usually eat too much food and overeat. Normally this leads to stomach ache and weight gain.

Sugar Levels and Diabetes

People who often miss meals and eat all their meal in one meal experience a raise in sugar levels. This can result in the beginning of type 2 diabetes. This in return can be a forerunner to strokes and cardiac arrest.

One study publicized by the medical journal, Metabolism, recommended that when people of normal weight and blood sugar levels skipped meals but didn’t minimize their caloric intake, they elevated their risk of diabetes. The study specifically aimed at those who eat a large meal in the evening, between 4-8 p.m. This implies if someone missed breakfast and lunch, but had a huge dinner, they would have a greater risk of developing diabetic issues.

Hormonal Imbalance


Whenever you miss a meal, the cortisol level rises and results in anxiety. The insulin also raises and decreases instantaneously, leading to an unstable blood sugar level.

Final Words


Proper nutrition is extremely important to your health and can help improve and avoid several conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke.

There are actually no short-cuts, and over time, skipping meals can only hurt you. It’s far better to design a sustainable eating and exercising plan and make it a component of your everyday life.
