Irregular Eating Habits: Doctors Warn of 5 Serious Diseases

• Dr. Deepti Khatri, FMRI Gurugram, highlights that irregular eating disrupts the body's biological clock and hormonal balance, affecting hunger, digestion, sleep, and energy.
• Unfixed eating times can lead to digestive issues like gas, acidity, indigestion, and constipation due to the digestive system's inability to function properly.
• Irregular eating impacts metabolism, potentially causing unhealthy weight gain or loss, as the body struggles to regulate fat storage and appetite.
• Fluctuating blood sugar levels from inconsistent meal times increase the risk of type-2 diabetes by negatively affecting insulin regulation.
• Lack of routine elevates stress hormone cortisol, leading to fatigue, anxiety, and in women, issues like irregular periods and PCOD; it also disrupts sleep and mental health.

Why It Matters: Consistent eating times are crucial for hormonal balance, digestion, and overall health, preventing serious diseases.
