Yes, irregular eating can lead to weight gain. According to Ayurveda, irregular food is the root of all diseases. Irregular eating habits affect Jathragni (digestive power) and Vayu (energy and motility of the body), which can affect the body’s metabolism and lead to weight gain.
Irregular eating habits can lead to increased acidity in the body, which can lead to muscle fatigue and reduced body elasticity. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of regularity of meals and timely eating. For example, one should not drink water for an hour after meals and take meals on time. Such regular and balanced eating habits help keep the body healthy and keep weight under control.
