Shocking Revelation! What Happens When You Skip Meals. by 9jatrend: 7:46am On Aug 11, 2015 |
Sugar is the fuel on which the human body runs; when it's not circulating in the right amount, every organ of the body may be affected. Skipping meals makes your blood sugar level drop significantly, particularly when breakfast is skipped. Some persons go the extreme of skipping meals to lose weight which could have harmful effects on the body and even make weight loss impossible. The brain runs primarily on glucose, when it experiences shortage of supply, a person's cognitive functions are affected and it might be difficult to concentrate and carry out other mental performance. Feelings of unwellness might also be experienced as well as mood swings, irritability and brain fog. When skipping of meal becomes a continuous thing, the muscles of the body might be used as fuel source which slows down metabolism and saps you of energy that when you do eat, the food is not broken down properly as the body is now in starvation mode. When the body enters starvation mode, it begins to look for alternative source of energy, thereby converting fats into energy which has health consequences such as low blood pressure, constipation, nausea and fatigue. Skipping meals is more likely to make you gain weight because you become more hungry and eat much, also as your metabolism has slowed down, the food is not effectively burned and almost everything you eat gets stored as fat. Skipping meals reduces calories and nutrients needed to keep the hair and skin shiny. Blood sugar level fluctuates when meals are skipped continuously, insulin which is an hormone that regulates glucose level in the body might be disturbed as a result, this could contribute to the development of diabetes. Eating small portions at intervals is better for weight loss and the health of the body than skipping meals. Source - www.9jatrend.com 1 Like 2 Shares |
