Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have the habit of taking food only two times a day. I usually don t have food in the night. Some say that this will cause acidity in future. My question is.... Is that enough taking food twice a day? i m female and 23 yrs old. I am 156cm of height and 50kgWt.
No, it is not enough for most persons. Most persons require at least 3 main meals.
The irregular or infrequent eating would definitely contribute to reflux symptoms/acidity. Irregular eating can also sometimes affect weight in the long term because it causes the metabolism to slow down and weight to be retained.
I hope this helps
