Whenever it comes to food, it is said that one should always eat healthy food. Of course, choosing the right food is very important in eating. But it is more important than that that you keep in mind at what time you are taking it. Sometimes one food can have different effects on your body at two different times.

Not only this, but it is also necessary to be very careful about the timing of the miles. Some people often skip their meals or eat them late in the morning. For example, their breakfast and brunch become the same or they eat late light dinner. If you are too careless about the timing of meals, then even healthy food can oppositely affect your health. So today in this article Ritu Puri, Dietician of ESIC Hospital, Central Government Hospital, is telling you why any person must have proper meal timing-

The body's cycle is disturbed

Eating at the right time is very important for the body's cycle and hormones. Hormones are released according to the body cycle. But when you do not eat food at the right time, it disturbs the whole body cycle and hormone balance. Not only this, it increases the risk of many metabolic problems or metabolic syndrome. You are at increased risk of developing obesity to sleep apnea.

Effect on metabolic rate

There is a close relationship between the timing of your meals and your metabolic rate. If a person eats food on time, then his metabolic rate is high. At the same time, if a person ignores the timing of his food, then gradually his metabolic rate starts slowing down. A slower metabolic rate means more disease. Due to slow metabolism, a person starts having diseases like obesity and BP. Therefore, if you want to keep yourself healthy while maintaining a healthy weight, then it is very important to have proper meal timing.

Helps in body detoxification

Very few people are aware that timely meals are also helpful in body detoxification. The body gets a lot through food, some of which are also toxins. The liver does the job of detoxifying the body. But when you do not eat food at the right time, it disturbs the activity of the liver. Actually, after ten o'clock food puts pressure on the body. But when dinner is late or you do late-night munching, the liver is not able to detoxify the body properly. This is the reason that most people have fatty liver, acne, acidity or digestion problem.

Acidity is related to food timing

There is also a connection between food timing and acidity. It is seen that people who do not eat for a long time or have a huge gap between two meals. They have an acidity problem. This happens because your stomach starts producing more SCL. Especially, if you starve for more than four hours, it increases the acid in the stomach very much and gives you problems. Therefore, always eat food on time and have healthy snacking or mid-meals in between two meals.
