Irregular eating habits have a significant impact on health, often leading to gastric disorders such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which may manifest as symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and reduced appetite. Irregular eating patterns can also contribute to either obesity or underweight—both extremes being detrimental to health. Furthermore, prolonged irregular eating may disrupt normal bowel habits, potentially resulting in constipation.
