How Skipping Your Meal Regularly Affects Your Brain

If You Dive Into Skipping Meals, Your Blood Sugar Levels Also Take A Dive

Our body ideally runs on sugar. It’s the prime fuel that keeps all the organs of our body running efficiently. And from where do we get this sugar? It is from the meals that we eat every day.

Our body breaks down the food we eat into sugars and fats. That’s how the digestive system works . Skipping food leads to diabetes (type 2, to be specific) as there is a sudden drop in our sugar levels due to lack of food intake.

Starving Doesn’t Burn Calories, It Stores Fat

It Affects The Brain Too

It is food that fuels the development and stimulation of the brain chemical called dopamine that is responsible for our responses, our cravings for food, etc. If you eat a healthy breakfast, your dopamine levels are under control.

It will keep you from craving for sweets and binge eating the rest of the day. However, if your body lacks energy (glucose), you will begin to get cranky.

Skipping Meals Equals Nurturing Stress

Frequent skipping of meals will also slow down the metabolism of the body. This ultimately leads to the release of stress hormones. Yes, so the more you miss your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the more stressed you will feel (because of an increase in your cortisol levels).

And we know what stress can do to us, don’t we? We might end up sitting with that huge bucket of ice cream or indulge in drinking or smoking, which will only harm our health and lead to chronic ailments.

You Lose Water Weight And Not The Fat

The only way you can get rid of your fat is by burning it through physical activity. We call a bluff on everything else. By missing your meals, you are draining the water out of your body. Your fat will only accumulate if you don’t provide your body with enough food at the required time.

You Will Feel Constipated

Dealing with constipation is the most uncomfortable thing for our body and us. And one of the main reasons behind its cause is the untimely and inadequate intake of food. If we skip our meals regularly, we’re not giving our body the necessary dietary fiber and water that aids the smooth functioning of our digestive system. Ergo, constipation (8).

Your Skin And Hair Are Affected Too

Our skin and hair require the essential nutrients to glow and shine. If they are deprived of it, our skin begins to look dry and dull, whereas our hair might lose its lustre and bounce. Additionally, our hair may become weak and fragile, resulting in hair fall.

The bottom line here is that food is one of the basic needs of our body. Skipping meals is like directly challenging the normal functioning of our body. Eat healthily and at regular intervals, if you want to lose weight.

And if your lifestyle is responsible for you skipping your meals, then reorganize your daily work routines and make sure none of the three essential meals of the day goes missing.
