Our body is accumulation of the food that we eat. If we eat good and healthy food, result is healthy body; and if we eat bad and unhealthy food, result is disease. It is not just the type of food which has impact on health, food habits also can give bad results. Bad habits like missing breakfast, munching snacks, etc. can have poor health impact. Here are the six bad eating habits one should be aware of and should avoid for healthy living.

Never-ending snacking: We often eat high calorie and unhealthy snacks like chips, soda, candy bars etc. The solution is to keep only healthy snacks in your reach like popcorn, yogurt, and almonds. Stop buying potato chips or cookies you know you can’t resist.

Eating straight from container: Whatever, it might be but eating straight from the container makes us eat mindlessly. It is important to be conscious of what or how much you are eating.

Night-time eating: Dieticians recommend stopping eating at nights if you want to lose weight. The solution here is to think that the kitchen is closed at night. One more way is to brush your teeth at night as we prefer to eat less with a freshly cleaned mouth. In case you feel to eat something, then eat fruits.

Skipping breakfast: Breakfast should never be skipped as it is the most important meal of the day. Missing breakfast slows down the body metabolism and has been found to be a cause behind weight gain. Try to have a healthy breakfast that can be prepared and consumed easily. You can also take yogurt, fruits or smoothies in case of hurry.

Stressful eating: A number of studies have found that people tend to eat more and unhealthy under stress. The way out is to find other ways to bust stress like going for a walk, calling a friend or meditation.

Gulping too quickly: Eating food too quickly is another bad habit. If you eat too fast, you end up eating more than needed. Slow down your eating and chew every bite thoroughly.
