Hey there busy bee, have you had your lunch yet?
Let's talk about something that might sound all too familiar: skipping lunch. Whether it's due to back-to-back meetings, running tasks, or simply losing track of time during a hectic day, missing out on your midday meal can have more consequences than you might realize.
- Energy Crash:
A cup of coffee can’t resolve this energy crash!
Imagine this scenario: it's 2 PM, you've been powering through your day without a break, and suddenly, your energy levels drops. That's because skipping lunch means your body hasn't received the fuel it needs to keep going. Just like a car needs gas, our bodies need food to function. Without it, you might find yourself feeling sluggish, irritable, and struggling to concentrate on even the simplest tasks. Remember that time you had a big presentation after skipping lunch? Not your best day, right?
- Mood Swings:
We’ve all been “HANGRY” at some point, right?
If not, skipping your lunch can definitely lead to it! When your blood sugar drops because you haven't eaten, it can affect your mood and leave you feeling cranky and on edge. Think about the last time you snapped at a colleague or felt unusually sensitive—could it have been because you missed lunch?
- Feed your beauty with every bite
Yes, skipping meals can even affect your beauty routine! Your skin needs nutrients from food just as much as your body does. When you skip lunch, you're denying your skin those essential vitamins and minerals that helps keep it glowing. Ever noticed your skin looking dull after a long day of skipping meals? That's because it's missing out on the nourishment it needs to keep glowing.
- Starving now, Overeating later
Remember that time you skipped lunch and then had a whole bag of chips before dinner? Guilty, right?
Here's a tricky one: skipping lunch in hopes of saving calories can actually backfire. When you finally do eat after skipping a meal, you might find yourself too hungry, leading to overeating or making less healthy choices. Your body was desperately trying to make up for the missed meal.
- Setting a Healthy Routine
So remember, If you skip your lunch- you can’t think well, work well, love well or sleep well!
