There is a saying that the role of dinner is one-quarter life-sustaining and three-quarters is maintenance of the doctor's income.
The reason: The study found that one of the important reasons for the occurrence of many diseases is from poor eating habits at night.
This may be an exaggeration, but it illustrates the fact that eating dinner is not right and causing a body of illness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="128" > full of food and lose a day's life</h1>
Let's look at two ancient classic medical sayings:
If the stomach is not harmonious, it is restless. - The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic
The night meal is full, and the life of the day is lost. - "A Thousand Golden Formulas".
Both Chinese medicine and Buddhism say, "Don't eat after noon." The so-called "noon" is 11:00-13:00 at noon, and after 13:00, you can no longer eat. In the Mozi Zashou, it is recorded that soldiers only eat two meals a day:
The first meal is called "pilgrimage", which is what we call breakfast;
The second meal is called "飧" or "food", and it is eaten during the Shenshi (around 4 p.m.).
However, for modern people, our schedule is different from that of ancient times, especially for the nine-to-five office workers, we need more food and energy, and we can't copy it now. However, it is recommended that everyone eat less for dinner, and eating dinner incorrectly will affect health and life expectancy.
Most of the young people are nine to five, fighting for work, tired of running, breakfast and lunch, hastily done, only after work in the evening, there is time to enrich the dinner. Sometimes there are more social gatherings at night, not drunk, not full, some people still have the habit of eating late-night snacks all year round.
Young people's heart function and gastrointestinal function are better than those of the elderly, so there is no feeling for a moment of full food, but the of a thousand miles, collapsed in the ant nest, a long time, a spleen and stomach injury, what is wrong with the door. Looking carefully for the reasons, it is impossible to distinguish from modern food culture.
Food can be divided into thick, thin, clear and turbid:
Clear, thin - most vegetables, fruits, grains, simple non-greasy cooking methods, etc.;
Thick and cloudy – most meat, fried and smoked, heavy in taste, complicated cooking methods, etc.
In the modern cooking habits that pay too much attention to sensory stimulation, inject the characteristics of "clear, thin, light and less" to avoid the orientation of "thick, turbid, heavy, more, and miscellaneous", which is more beneficial to health.
Especially for dinner, at this time the human body is preparing to slowly shut down, into the state of charging and resting, eating less, simple food for those of us who are not diligent, lack of exercise, thinking, tension has hurt the spleen, worry, fear, desire has hurt the kidneys of modern mental workers, is a suitable choice.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > seven points full, healthy to live to old age</h1>
Folk and Chinese medicine have always had the saying that "every meal is seven points full, healthy to live to old age". Is this true?
Professor Zhao Liping, School of Life Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Seven points of full food", from the perspective of modern science, it is very correct!
Professor Zhao Liping said:
"The life experience of many long-lived elderly people and the concept of folk health care involve the phenomenon of '70% fullness' that is moderate diet and moderate, which is very interesting." For example, my grandmother is 96 years old this year, and she controls the amount of every meal and never eats much.
In order to better explain this phenomenon, the study done by Professor Zhao Liping's team in collaboration with Professor Liu Yong of the Institute of Nutrition of the Shanghai Academy of Biological Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirmed that a moderate low-fat diet can make animals live longer. The results were published on July 16, 2016 in Nature Communications, a sub-issue of the journal Nature.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="129" what does it feel like to be full of seven points >? </h1>
Seven points full is a feeling that varies from person to person, and it is a bit abstract and difficult to measure.
Experts believe that the following method can be used to measure the seven points of fullness:
The stomach is not yet full, but the enthusiasm for food has declined, and the speed of active eating has also slowed down significantly, but habitually want to eat more, but if the food is withdrawn and the topic is diverted, it will soon forget to eat.
There is a criterion to keep in mind, that is: if the meal time is relatively regular and fixed, this meal is seven points full, and there will be no hunger in advance before the second meal. That is to say, if you are hungry in advance, it means that you have not eaten seven minutes full, and you can appropriately increase the amount of food.
Another point that can be used as a reference, according to the Chinese nutritional dietary guidelines, the proportion of intake of three meals a day, preferably the "343" principle, that is:
Breakfast accounted for 30%.
Lunch accounts for 40%.
Dinner accounts for 30%.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="130" eats after seven o'clock >, and is plagued by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases</h1>
A study in Turkey showed that eating two hours before bedtime, or after 7 p.m., can lead to a high incidence of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction!
The researchers tracked 721 patients with hypertension with an average age of 53 and found that those who ate after 7 p.m., or within two hours before bedtime, were 2.8 times more likely than non-eaters to have no blood pressure drop at night and remain high.
The British "Daily Mail" quoted researchers as saying that high-blood pressure patients are originally at high risk of heart disease, and if the blood pressure does not drop at night, the risk of heart attack or stroke will be much higher.
This study would be translated in layman's terms:
Eat late for dinner, and the incidence of myocardial infarction is high!
It can even increase the risk of cancer!
Dinner is best settled before 7 p.m.!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="132" > dinner and eat late, 12 diseases are entangled</h1>
In addition to the heart and cerebral infarctions that researchers have found, these diseases are also related to eating too much and too late for dinner!
1. 90% of obesity is due to eating too well at dinner
According to statistics, 90% of obese people eat too well and eat too much at dinner, coupled with small activity at night, low energy consumption, excess calories under the action of insulin a large number of synthetic fat, accumulated over time, obesity is also formed
2. Eating too much dinner is prone to Alzheimer's disease
If the long-term dinner is too full, the gastrointestinal tract and nearby liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other organs are still in operation during sleep, so that the brain can not rest, the blood supply of the brain is insufficient, which in turn affects the normal metabolism of brain cells and accelerates the aging of brain cells. According to statistics, foodies who often eat a full meal in the middle of their life have a more than 20% chance of developing Alzheimer's disease in old age.
3. Dinner is meaty, and blood pressure rises
If the dinner content is partial to meat, coupled with the slowdown in blood flow during sleep, a large amount of blood lipids will be deposited on the blood vessel wall, which will cause the contraction of arterioles and tiny arteries, increase the resistance of peripheral blood vessels, easily cause blood pressure to rise suddenly, and also accelerate the hardening process of arterioles throughout the body.
4. The stomach will get sick if you work overtime
The human gastric mucosa is very delicate, and the gastric mucosa must complete the digestive task of diet in quality and quantity during the day, and the task of renewing the gastric mucosa is arranged at night when the body rests. People who eat too late for dinner will also have to work the night shift. The fatigue state of the stomach, coupled with the aging mucous membrane can not be updated in time, over time there will be stomach disease!
5. Elevated blood lipids accelerate arteriosclerosis
Eating too late for dinner will also cause high blood lipids, coupled with the fact that the blood flow rate is significantly reduced after people fall asleep, resulting in continuous deposition of blood lipids on the blood vessel wall, and in the long run, the risk factor of forming atherosclerosis will naturally increase.
6. Food is too late to digest, and toxic substances are produced to induce bowel cancer
Dinner is eaten too late, too late to fully digest, the residual protein will produce toxic substances under the action of intestinal bacteria, and because the intestinal peristalsis is very slow during sleep, these toxins stay in the intestine for a long time, under its long-term stimulation, can induce chronic enteritis and bowel cancer.
7. Accelerate the aging of blood vessels and induce coronary heart disease
Eating too late for dinner, the liver will convert excess heat energy into cholesterol, resulting in increased cholesterol levels in the blood, and gradually accumulate on the walls of blood vessels, causing arteriosclerosis, to a certain extent, it will develop into coronary heart disease. At the same time, the blood is concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract to help digestion and absorption, so that the blood supply to the heart is relatively insufficient, resulting in an attack of angina.
8. Islet cell strain, leading to diabetes
Eating too late for dinner will stimulate the continuous secretion of insulin, resulting in excessive burden on the B cells that secrete insulin, and if it is a long-term continuous overload secretion, especially in the elderly, diabetes will be induced by B cell failure.
9. Eat too late and too greasy, easy to get acute pancreatitis
Eating too late for dinner is more likely to induce acute pancreatitis. Presents with epigastric pain, paroxysmal exacerbation, and radiation to the left waist, left shoulder, and left arm, often with malignancy, vomiting, and life-threatening if left untreated. Some people will suddenly develop acute pancreatitis and cause shock during sleep, because no one knows about its onset and can not be rescued, or even die.
10. Disordered metabolism
Eating too late for dinner will lead to metabolic disorders, making you often feel weak, dizzy, memory loss, decreased thinking ability, but also due to reduced immunity and prone to colds, skin boils, wounds for a long time.
11. Frequent acid reflux, leading to gastroesophageal reflux
Eating too late for dinner can also cause gastroesophageal reflux disease. When people lie flat, the food in the stomach is easy to return to the esophagus and mouth, and the food reflux from the stomach is acidic, which stimulates the esophagus greatly, causing gastroesophageal reflux disease or even reflux gastritis; some elderly people, food will even regurgitate from the stomach to the airway and throat, causing a variety of diseases.
12. The body does not get rest, causing depression
Night is the time of day when people's immunity is the weakest, not suitable for too tired, two hours before going to bed is not suitable for too much brain. However, eating dinner too late seriously damages the body, the body has been in a working state, insomnia when sleeping, poor mental state during the day, it is easy to cause depressive symptoms.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="134" What should I do if I am hungry after 7 o'clock >? Keep the bottom line of "1 absolute 5 no"! </h1>
Some people will ask, what if you are really hungry at night? The stomach can not support, but hunger will also be hungry out of the disease, there are some friends who have diabetes, stomach disease, not to mention that they can not survive to the end for this, will not be worth the loss.
It's not impossible to eat at night, but keep this bottom line in mind:
One is that you must not eat too much;
Second, the following five things must not be touched!
Not touching spicy food will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, and food reflux indigestion will occur, affecting sleep;
Second, do not touch sticky hard food, digestive activities become abnormally excited, easy to burn the heart, or lead to acute and chronic gastritis and other stomach diseases;
Three do not touch the gas-producing food, easy to flatulence, hinder normal sleep;
Drinks that do not touch alcohol paralyze the central nervous system and significantly worsen the syndrome of snoring and sleep apnea. Try not to drink alcohol for 4 to 6 hours before bedtime.
Five do not touch greasy food, increase blood lipids, increase the burden of work on the intestines, stomach, liver, gallbladder and pancreas, the three high people must remember!
