Is "skipping lunch" really scientific?
"Skipping lunch" means not eating after 1 p.m
Is this practice suitable for modern people?
The answer is no
The nightlife of the ancients was not abundant
Rest as soon as it gets dark, and the energy consumption is less
Nowadays, most people work and study until late and don't go to bed
So, in the current habits of life
Imitating the ancients, dinner was simply omitted from the three meals
It will only lead to a worse and worse body
Skipping dinner for a long time
What are the effects on the body?
First, nutrient deficiencies
For most people
Skipping breakfast or having a single breakfast can lead to nutritional deficiencies
Eat at work or school at noon
It is also difficult to achieve nutritional balance
So dinner is for most people
It is the most nutritious meal
If you don't eat dinner
Breakfast and lunch were also not improved
This can lead to nutrient deficiencies
And then cause a series of chain reactions such as physical discomfort
Second, it affects sleep
By the evening, the food ingested at lunch has been digested and absorbed
Naturally, the stomach is hungry
If you skip dinner, you may not be able to sleep at night
The body does not get normal rest
In the long run, it is easy to lead to poor mental state
Even if the immunity is low, the disease will take advantage of the weakness
Third, it is easier to gain weight
If you don't eat at night, your body doesn't get the energy it needs
The human body automatically slows down metabolism
Reduced energy consumption
Because muscles use energy quickly
The body sacrifices muscle and retains fat
With muscle loss
The basal metabolism will continue to slow down
A vicious circle is formed
When it comes time to eat again, the body prioritizes fat storage
Naturally will be fatter than before
Skipping dinner is harmful to the body
And the time to eat dinner is irregular
It is also harmful to the body
Studies have shown that dinner times are irregular
May increase the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage

How to eat healthier dinner?
What time do you eat?
A: 18:00~20:00
22:00 is the best time to go to bed
The best time for dinner is around 18:00~20:00
The eating speed is 20~30 minutes
Chew and swallow slowly
Because it takes 3 hours for the stomach to digest food
If you eat too late, don't go to bed right away
Don't go back to sleep at least 2 hours later
Otherwise, the stomach is still doing its digestive work while you sleep
In the long run, it is easy to lead to stomach problems
How much to eat?
Answer: Seven points full
It is often said that "it is better to eat in the morning, to be full in the afternoon, and to eat less in the evening"
It is recommended to eat seven minutes full for dinner
The energy provided by dinner
It should account for 30%~40% of the total energy required for the whole day
A level of seven is when the stomach does not feel full
But the enthusiasm for food has begun to wane
Eating starts to slow down
What to eat?
A: Include at least three food groups
Category 1: Cereals
For example, rice, steamed buns, or coarse grains and potatoes
Category II: Protein sources
For example, meat, seafood, soy products, eggs
Category 3: Fresh fruits and vegetables
These three types of food should be reasonably combined
Pay attention to light and easy to digest
