When was the last time you ate your meal on time? Yes, it’s a high possibility that we delay our meals every day. Most of us are stuck in the daily grind of our work schedules and in the bargain often forget to eat our meals on time. It is especially a challenge for working adults who are held back by their work. They not only eat a late breakfast or simply skip but even end up eating lunch late or simply missing it again before acidity kicks in and they start feeling sick. It is only then that people actually realise how much they have been taking their meals and thus nutrition for granted. Health experts in Mumbai say all of this can have a lot of side effects on the body starting with energy deprivation, increased stress and irritability and majorly being ‘hangry’, that is hungry and angry.
