Almost all Hui people don't eat midnight snack. "Eat less at night and you will live to ninety-nine" is the mantra of many Hui longevity elderly people.

■ Eat less at dinner, and your body will be fine.

In modern society, people's life is very fast. Many people eat breakfast and lunch casually, but in the evening, they will prepare a big meal for themselves-this is very wrong! Eating less at night is good for your health, because after dinner, it is not far from the rest time. Neijing said: "Blood belongs to the liver in the body. When resting at night, the blood goes to work in the liver, and the qi and blood in the spleen and stomach are naturally less. The food eaten at this time is not only difficult to digest, but will accumulate in the body, affecting health and even causing obesity.

■ Digestion will be good before eating at seven o'clock.

Dinner should not only be less, but also should not be eaten too late. The ancient medical code said: "It is advisable to fast at midnight and eat the night before. You shouldn't eat in the middle of the night. It's better to have dinner before Shen (3 pm to 5 pm) and you (5 pm to 7 pm), which is consistent with our current dinner time (6 pm to 7 pm). Why can't we have dinner too late? Because eating too late, close to bedtime, the spleen enters a state of rest, can not function normally and digest food, and is easy to cause various diseases. The Hui people's way of keeping in good health ── "Sleeping after meals is like eating poison" is precisely this truth.

■ If you eat the right dinner, you won't come to sleep.

Eating too much or too late is also extremely bad for sleep. Neijing said: "Disharmony in the stomach leads to anxiety. It means that the stomach is not harmonious with the stomach, so it is not safe to sleep. Eating too much and eating too late at dinner is also one of the main reasons for "stomach disharmony". Too much food will make the spleen and stomach full. In this state, food cannot be digested quickly, and it is naturally difficult to fall asleep. Poor dinner can be compared with "getting drunk at night", which will lead to many diseases and should be avoided as much as possible-"Eating less at night will make you live to ninety-nine" is exactly what I said.
