People like you live busy lives, especially now in this modern world. There are many activities that could lead you to skipping lunch if you feel short on time. However, skipping meals can have bad effects on your health. Check out Tony’s pizza for some tasty lunch ideas that can fit your busy schedule.
People skip lunch for many different reasons. Oftentimes, they simply just don’t have the time to make a meal. Or, they are trying to eat on a budget and are just tired of the same old thing. Likewise, they may have simply run out of lunch ideas. But, missing out on your noonday meal can have a larger impact than you may have thought. Some top reasons you shouldn’t skip lunch include:
As we go about our days, our body needs to be fueled about every 4-6 hours. Without this fuel, you will be weak and tired. You’ll even have trouble thinking because your brain won’t have the amount of glucose it needs to properly function.
As you consume food, your body converts that into glucose. This is what your cells need in order to power your body. If you are always skipping lunch, you could become more sensitive to insulin. With your blood sugar continuously being unstable, you are increasing your risk of getting diabetes.
For the most part, skipping lunch leads you to overindulging during your next meal. Missing that lunch results in a reaction called survival mode. Consequently, you may lose control over your food intake leading to binging.
Another effect that many people would classify as negative is weight gain. By not receiving enough fuel, your metabolism is lowered so less calories are burned. By eating your usual amount of food with a lower metabolism, weight gain occurs because you are not burning as many calories.
To live a healthy life, our bodies need the proper amount of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats. By missing lunch, you miss that opportunity to replenish your body with those vital nutrients. Although, by satisfying your hunger with junk food, you’re filling your body with foods that lack good nutrients.
You may know that skipping lunch is bad but still find yourself doing it. Rather it be you’re crunched for time or bored with your choices, it may make lunch feel like a chore rather than a pleasure. Check out some lunch ideas to get you more motivated about lunch!
