Answer 2

it is NOT  advisable to skip a meal as :

#1. Changes in your blood sugar levels

Sugar — obtained from the breakdown of carbohydrates — acts as our body’s fuel, which is required for its normal functioning. So if you skip a meal, your blood sugar levels drop which in turn affects the functioning of your organs.

#2. Affects your mood and concentration

Do you know that glucose (obtained through food) is the main source of energy for your brain? Hence, if you skip a meal, your brain will receive less glucose (energy). As a result, it experiences a shortage and you will feel tired, sluggish, moody and irritable. This also interferes with your ability to concentrate, thereby leading to a decrease in your performance at work or school.

#3. Alters your metabolism

‘Skipping meals on a regular basis shifts your system into starvation mode. This is an effort by the body to store energy. However, not eating your breakfast or dinner, decreases your overall metabolism and slows down the weight loss process.’

#5. Lowers your nutritional intake

If you leave your house without eating anything on a regular basis, it means that you are eating less than you are supposed to. This in turn causes an overall decrease in your nutrient intake making you prone to various nutritional deficiencies, especially Vitamin B complex deficiency.

#6. Affects your blood pressure

The drop in blood sugar levels due to skipping meals stimulates your body to release hormones to compensate for low glucose levels. This in turn causes an increase in your blood pressure levels and can also cause narrowing of your arteries in the future.

#7. Causes indigestion problems

One of the key causes of acidity, gastric reflux, stomach pain, belching or flatulence is skipping meals. When you are on an empty stomach for a long time, there is an increased secretion of gastric acid in the stomach. So every time you skip a meal, your stomach produce acids that attack the stomach lining leading to acidity, ulcers and abdominal pain.
