News India Live, Digital Desk: In today’s busy life, everyone wants to look ‘fit’. And in this race to lose weight, people find this to be the easiest way.“Come on, let’s not eat dinner tonight (Skipping Dinner).”
This sounds very logical. We think that if we do not eat at night, calories will not enter the body and weight will automatically reduce. Many people call it ‘dieting’, while some call it the reason for their busyness. But is it really right to starve your body overnight? Is this really smartness or are we unknowingly giving ‘slow poison’ to our own health?
Let us understand in simple language what actually happens to your body when you skip dinner.
Stomach acid factory and enemy of sleep
When you skip dinner, your stomach remains empty for a longer period of time. There is a gap of about 10 to 12 hours between lunch and breakfast the next day. The acid produced in an empty stomach can cause gas, burning sensation and indigestion (acidity).
Also, have you ever felt that when you try to sleep on an empty stomach, sleep does not come quickly? An empty stomach sends signals to the brain that it “needs fuel,” which disrupts your sleep and makes you irritable the next day.
Metabolism may be ‘slow’
Our body is a very smart machine. When you stop feeding it, it goes into ‘starvation mode’. The body thinks it’s “starving,” so it conserves fat instead of burning it. outcome? Your metabolism slows down, increasing your risk of gaining weight in the future instead of losing it.
‘Demonic’ hunger the next morning
We have all experienced this. The night we do not eat, the next morning we feel so hungry that we overeat for breakfast. We eat double the calories in the morning that we saved at night. That means all the hard work is in vain!
nutritional deficiencies
Our body needs vitamins, proteins and minerals to function. If you completely skip one meal, your body does not get the fuel it needs. This can lead to problems like hair fall, loss of skin shine and weakness.
So what is the right way? (The Middle Path)
Experts say that “It is important not to give up food, but to improve the diet.”
Don’t skip dinner. Just make it ‘light’ and ‘quick’. Eat food at least 2-3 hours before sleeping.
You can eat khichdi, soup, porridge, salad or grilled vegetables. This will keep your stomach full, you will sleep better and your weight will also remain under control.
Remember, it is not wise to become thin by punishing the body, but giving it the right food at the right time is the real fitness.
