what happens to your body when you skip meals ...?

Eating 3-4 big meals a day helps your body take up essential nutrients required for good health and also prevents you from binge eating.

Skipping meals on the other hand does just the opposite. It also breaks down the muscle tissues and can actually lead to weight gain and a host of other problems.
Studies suggest that skipping meals drains energy out of the body, which is why people who skip meals burn lesser calories as they don't indulge in any physical activity or exercise.

Studies also show that when you starve, the supply of glucose to your brain is reduced and this can lead to low concentration, low memory and low focus. This is the reason why students and working professionals should not skip meals as they need to perform well and concentrate on their work.

When your body does not get enough nutrients due to skipping meals, your emotional functioning changes and due to fluctuating levels of blood sugar in the body, you become irritable and moody. Frequent mood swings hamper the proper functioning of your brain.
