Trying to be healthy can be a daunting task. You can take care of your diet, eat healthy food filled with nutrients, work out and exercise on regular basis and even do other forms of physical workouts such as yoga, Zumba, pilates to maintain their health, but sometimes nothing works, and people still face health issues. The reason could be the meal timings.
We think workout and diet are the only two aspects of being healthy but the time we consume our meal also play a vital role. No matter how healthy your diet is, if it is on irregular timings, then it will not give you the expected result. Let’s find out the benefits of eating on time.
- Boost your metabolism: Your meal timings affect your metabolism. In the morning, just when we wake up, our metabolism works better. If you eat at this time then you will be able to sustain your metabolic rate. Your metabolism slows down as the day passes, and this is why it is also important to have dinner by 8 pm.
- Ideal gap between breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Human body takes at least 3-4 hours to digest any meal completely. That means the gap between any two meals has to be more than 4 hours. A gap shorter than that will be overeating and a gap more than this can cause acidity.
- Keeps you active: It is as simple as that our food provides us energy. If you do not eat on time and miss your meals then it is obvious that you can not keep up with your day-to-day work.
- Regulates body cycle:Â Our meal timings and our sleep are in our hands and if we keep them on track then we can maintain our body cycle.
- Consistent Routine:Â Eating at similar timing helps you make a routine. It is one of the most important aspects you need to keep when you are trying to set a routine.
