The Dinner Bell App

Consuming nutritious, well-rounded meals throughout the day helps with disease prevention, growth, development and overall well-being. Studies have suggested skipping meals may increase an individual's risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

This mindful eating app reminds you to make health a priority. Providing your body with three meals a day can help your overall health in an enormous way; whether you're trying to lose or manage weight, regulate blood sugar, or combat cardiovascular disease, never skipping another meal is a great start on your path to wellness.

People often think that if they skip meals, they will lose weight. However, studies show skipping meals may make hunger levels increase and lead to consuming more than you normally would at the next meal.

Skipping meals is depriving the body of essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients. If you regularly skip meals it may put a strain on your body that, over time, can lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure problems and heart disease.

A reminder to eat is helpful in rising awareness and to become more conscious of food choices.

This meal alarm can be especially important for those who struggle with food and nutrition related issues, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Never missing a meal may also help individuals with type 2 diabetes to have consistent food choices, lose weight, and lower their hemoglobin A1c.

Finally, spreading your calories throughout the day may help you stick to your diet and keep off the weight for good.
