Find yourself prone to illness? Feel lethargic throughout the day? Maybe your diet isn’t right!
You’ll be surprised to know how big a role a consistent diet plays in overall wellness.
Keeping this in mind, we have compiled a list of bad eating habits that are affecting your lifestyle. Maybe our solutions could help?
1. You Eat Too Quickly
You gobble up your food in minutes because you’re running late for work. You eat your breakfast while driving. You eat while doing household chores. Your brain doesn’t signal that you’re full until about 15 to 20 minutes after you’ve started eating, so if you’re wolfing down your food in 10 minutes or less, you could end up eating way more than you need.
How do you fix this? Don’t reach that point of being famished. Pace your meals into many tiny meals through the day, savour and appreciate! Also, relax…your food isn’t going anywhere!

2. You Forget To Eat
We’ve all faced those days when the amount of work has left us overwhelmed. We skip meals, only to realize this by the end of the day, and then end up eating junk food. Exhaustion will get to you faster if you skip your meals, and will cause your brain and body to slow down.
How do you fix this? Keep snacking healthy throughout the day. Always keep munchies handy!

3. You Snack Unhealthy
Everyone feels hungry between meals, and everyone craves for a good snack. While snacking is absolutely allowed, do not fill yourself up with unhealthy junk food. A pizza might seem more tempting than a salad, a packet of chips seems much better than a bowl of nuts, but this harms you in the long run. It lowers your immunity and leaves you feeling tired.
How do you fix it? Keep a packet of nuts handy, carry fruits with you, opt for salads when craving a snack.

4.You Eat While Sitting At Your Desk
This is a common problem most of us face. Working and eating, gaming and eating, watching TV and eating. We all do it! These habits lead to a lot of health problems in the long run, the most common ones being a weak immunity and poor heart health.
How do you fix this? Involve yourself in good conversations with your friends, leave your work and the laptop away from your sight, for a bit!

5. You Eat Because You’re Stressed
Crunchy munchies work best to relieve stress so obviously chips and other junk foods are go-to options but think again! Know that it is a temporary relief and definitely not a permanent one. Try to get to the bottom on this problem. Junk food is tasty, there’s no denying that. But the bad effects are much more than just weight gain. High sugar, processed foods are extremely addictive. They affect blood sugar levels along with mental health.
How do you fix this? You’re stressed, focus on your breath, relax. You eating will not solve the problem. If all else fails, keep healthier snacks to reach out for, like dry fruits and nuts.
At least give it a try! It’s harder said than done, but small steps and a positive attitude hurt no one, right?
