Abstract

Dietary habits play an important role in the sustenance of good health, and prevention of lifestyle-associated health disorders like obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension. It is well established that the quantity and quality of the food we consume can affect our health. Now it is becoming clear that when we eat also plays a key role in health and disease [1]. May it be time constraint or weighty concern; meal skipping is growing enormous with almost 83% of the young population falling its prey [2]! This health-hazardous habit can impact the quality of life by predisposing us to various diseases in the future, such as a 55% increased risk for type 2 diabetes and a 75% increased risk for obesity.
