Unhealthy Eating

Packed schedules, languid lifestyles, and poor dietary choices can derail your health, pack on pounds, and make you age faster much to your horror! Well, if you dig for a curvy, toned body like Jessica Biel or Beyonce, then knock down the mindless munching and hourly bingeing and bid adieu to your “weighty” worries for good. Eating healthy and catching on enough zzz’s does not only boost your lifespan by years, but also cuts down the risks of lifestyle diseases. It does not matter if you are one who takes much comfort in high-cal food or someone who does not mind starving oneself to death to achieve that washboard abdomen. However, know that snacking on healthy and nutritious food and skipping the fat-bombs will not just leave you with a perfectly toned body, but an increased lifespan and a healthy lifestyle as well. Therefore, the next time you are tempted to dine on the dashboard or rush through your breakfast, just remember that unhealthy eating will only leave you with guilt and a big butt. Scroll down this write-up on the cons of unhealthy eating and know more on why to avoid it.

• In spite of working out thoroughly on the treadmill, the annoying little rolls on the back and unprepossessing bulges on the side just refuse to budge. Lucky for you, a timely, power-packed, nutritious early morning meal can save your sweat from going down the drain and keep weight from piling on your back, and butt. Most people-on-the-run happily skip this most important meal of the day, i.e. breakfast. Result — stress, exhaustion, fatigue and inflammation of stomach, etc. The breakfast not only sets the tone for your other important meals throughout the day, but also helps to supercharge your body and uncloud the fog from your brain. Just pack your breakfast with loads of proteins, healthy carbs and fibers and you are set to take on your day with gusto.
• If you dig for a good night’s slumber, then avoiding dinner just before you hit the sack can save you from feeling low and lousy the next day. Noshing on spicy, greasy, oily food just before bedtime can lead to indigestion and heartburn and can slash down the length and quality of your sleep significantly, leaving you feeling dog-tired and dull the next day. It is therefore best for you to have your dinner at least three hours before you hit the sack. However, if you cannot say no to your growling tummy, then snacking on some fresh fruits can ensure that you wake up feeling recharged the next morning.
• Oscar winner director Robert Redford once said, “Health food may be good for the conscience but Oreos taste a hell of a lot better.” There is little denying that junk food tops every foodie’s a la carte and unless you are a strict weight-watcher, chances are that even you can’t stop your tummy from rumbling at the very mention of cookies, chips and pizzas. However, snacking on hot dogs and cheese burgers will not just send calorie levels towering high, but will also leave you weighing a couple of pounds more on the weight-machine. The cue to prevent binge eating is to eat smart and eat well. Instead of three large meals, split your fare into six small meals. Doing so will not just burn your calories and boost metabolism, but also save you from over bingeing.
• Well, if you think that starving yourself to death can get your waist in shape, you are surely in for a surprise. Contrary to the popular belief that starving leads to weight-loss, skipping meals in fact, pushes the body to store more fat. Depriving the body of its daily supply of nutrition will not just derail your diet and upset your metabolism, but will also urge the body to store more fat when you eat next time. So, if you do not really wish to do more harm than good to your body, then eating well and eating regularly can save you from weighty-issues. The trick is to eat required calories and nutrients and exercise regularly.
