There is a saying I heard from my mother when I was a child. She said that breakfast should be good, lunch should be full, and dinner should be less. In the morning, this is delicious and balanced nutrition that we eat in the morning. At lunch, we should be full, and at dinner, we must eat less. The best thing is to eat seven points full. That is to say, if we eat too much, our stomachs are still working and we are sleeping at night, but our stomachs are still working for us and digesting food for us. So we may not be able to sleep at night. Because in the middle of the night, our stomach will secrete too much gastric acid, so we will feel particularly hungry in the middle of the night or in the morning. Then the next day, our mental state will not be very good, so we just have a bad nausea cycle all the time. In the end, it's not just our stomach that is uncomfortable, but also our spirit.
From a health point of view, eating seven points full is of great benefit to us. Seven-point fullness means that we feel full when we eat, but our appetite is still good. My understanding is that our stomach will secrete gastric acid when eating, which will promote the digestion of food, so we will feel a little hungry. Actually, we've all eaten enough. Or our salivary enzymes are at work. Our saliva can secrete an enzyme, which can help us secrete maltose and make us sweet when eating.
Seven-point fullness refers to feeling full when eating, but still having an appetite. At this time, we should pay attention to our appetite, enough is enough!
