Skipping Breakfast

Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the

next meal, or nibble on high-calorie snacks to stave offhunger.

Since it is the first meal of the day, skippers don’t perform well.

They accomplish less work, are physically less steady and are

slower at making decisions.

Not Eating on time

Unhealthy Weight Loss -

Not eating for an extended period of time causes extreme and

unhealthy weight loss. Being underweight poses health risks

associated with a weakened immune system

Hypoglycemia-

Not eating causes the body to deplete nutrient stored from the

liver, resulting in hypoglycemia. Dizziness, headaches, and

fainting are all symptoms of it.

Vitamin Deficiencies-

Vitamins absorbed from food prevent disease, support growth

and development, and support organ function.

Electrolyte Deficiencies-

Electrolytes deplete as your body starves.

Eating in fastfood most of the time has several negative effects:

  1. Low Energy Levels:

    • Fast food stresses your metabolism, leading to a drop in blood sugar levels.

    • This results in fatigue and visible tiredness, leaving you unproductive for the rest of the day.

  2. Liver Damage:

    • Excessive fast food intake introduces high amounts of oils, calories, and fats to your body.

    • Accumulation of these elements can harm your liver, potentially causing organ failure similar to excessive alcohol consumption.

  3. Obesity and Health Risks:

    • Overeating fast food contributes to obesity, a precursor to serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

  4. Heart Problems:

    • Fast food is laden with sodium and bad cholesterol, posing a significant risk for heart attacks and cardiovascular diseases.

  5. Decline in Quality of Living:

    • Our eating habits significantly influence our lifestyle.

    • Constant reliance on fast food negatively impacts the overall quality of life, affecting how we live and manage our daily activities.

    • Deep-fried junk food deposits oil on the stomach lining, increasing acid production and causing irritation.

    • Lack of fiber hampers digestion, leading to issues like constipation.

  3. Blood Sugar Fluctuations:

    • High refined sugar content in junk food stresses metabolism, causing fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

  4. Heart Disease Risk:

    • Saturated fats and trans fats in junk food increase triglyceride and bad cholesterol levels, contributing to plaque formation and heart disease.

  5. Kidney Disease:

    • Excessive salt in fries and chips enhances cravings and disrupts the sodium-potassium balance, leading to hypertension and affecting kidney function.

  6. Liver Damage:

    • Trans fats in junk food can cause liver dysfunction due to deposition in the liver.

  7. Cancer Risk:

    • Lack of fiber in junk food is linked to an increased risk of digestive system cancers.

Malnutrition and Micronutrient Deficiencies:

  • Malnutrition: Lack of proper food, major contributor to disease.

  • Overnutrition: Excessive intake.

  • Undernutrition: Insufficient intake.

  • Diseases and malnutrition are closely linked.

Effects of Malnutrition:

  1. Slow growth and development

  2. Poor school performance

  3. Sluggishness and fatigue

  4. Poor nutrition in adulthood

Obesity:

  • Results from overeating, lack of physical activity.

  • Leads to diabetes, heart issues, joint problems.

Micronutrients:

  • Essential vitamins and minerals for health.

  • Vitamin A, Iron, and Iodine are crucial.
