Most people in the world will try to eat less than one meal once or twice. The most common is not to eat breakfast. Some people even don’t know what breakfast is.
Busy, no time to eat, is the first reason not to eat. Many people think that if you don’t eat this meal, you can make up for it by eating more next meal.
But in fact, not eating a meal will have adverse consequences. If you don’t eat it regularly, it will have more serious consequences for your health.
1. Serious emotional impact
The latest research found that depression is not just a “psychosis”, it is closely related to the human intestine. Therefore, if you don’t eat for a long time, your mood will be affected first. Scientific experiments have confirmed that skipping meals affects the blood sugar level of the human body, and the body will react to stress.
Specifically, if the human body’s energy reserve is nearly empty, the stress response will play a role to ensure that people can respond to danger in time. However, this increase in stress hormones is usually difficult to protect people in modern society. Instead, it can lead to irritability, emotional instability, and even mild depression.
2. Concentration is significantly reduced.
The human brain is powered by glucose, so insufficient blood glucose will not only affect mood, but also affect brain activity and reduce concentration. At this time, a person may not be able to complete even simple tasks.
Therefore, if you are too busy working overtime to have time to eat, thinking that you will invest more time and be more productive, unfortunately, you may be reducing your work efficiency, and it is better to have a full meal before continuing. In a short time, skipping meals will reduce your work performance; In the long run, it will affect the brain and lead to a decline in ability.
3. Eat more and become fatter
The more hungry you are, the more your subconscious mind will instruct your body to eat more – even if your body doesn’t actually need that much food. Therefore, if you don’t eat a meal, you will eat too much later, and you are more likely to choose unhealthy food.
Stimulated by the host’s skipping meals, the brain will spontaneously worry about whether it may experience hunger for a long time later, appetite may change, and metabolism and energy storage in the body may be in chaos. Therefore, it is impossible to achieve the effect of weight loss only by not eating. Even if it is temporarily successful in a short time, it will rebound later.
4. The appearance may be reduced.
Not eating will affect your appearance. Dry skin, dry hair, and even oral health may be affected. This is because the human body needs all kinds of nutrients to maintain its best state. If you don’t eat regularly, the nutrition supply will be insufficient.
Protein, in particular, is the basic component of all parts of the human body. Lack of protein will affect the appearance. Taking “supplements” is useless. Take vitamin supplements for example. Many vitamins are fat soluble substances, which means that if they are not matched with meals, their effects will be limited.
5. Gastrointestinal problems are inevitable.
Regular diet has an impact on all parts of the body. Once the eating time is out of balance, the efficiency of gastrointestinal operation will be reduced. First of all, if you eat regularly, your digestive system will complete metabolism according to time. If you don’t eat a meal, your intestines and stomach will feel “confused”, and problems such as stomach acid and constipation will follow.
Not eating a meal is a trivial matter, which may have a great impact on the quality of life.
Therefore, unless you are superman or iron man, saving the earth or changing the universe, no matter how busy you are, you should have time to take ten minutes to finish a meal.
If you have a very important task one day and can’t spare three periods of time for breakfast, lunch and dinner on time, you can eat less and eat more to ensure that your body gets sufficient nutrition.
The final bottom line is that it’s OK not to eat once in a while. Don’t eat breakfast for a long time, especially for a long time.
