Statement 1: The ancients advocated "no food at noon". Expert analysis: "Don't eat after noon" is more from the perspective of practice. As a way of keeping in good health, it should vary from person to person and should not be blindly copied. Health experts said: "After long-term experiments, three meals a day conform to the laws of the human body and cannot be disturbed at will." ?
Statement 2: If you eat too much at dinner, calories will be converted into fat. Expert analysis: if the original intention of not eating dinner is to reduce the burden on the stomach and reduce the accumulation of heat energy, it seems to be scientific. However, if you can eat reasonably and exercise reasonably, you will not accumulate fat even if you eat dinner. Therefore, there is no need to go to extremes.
Statement 3: Hunger can prompt phagocytes to clean up the garbage in the body. Expert analysis: "This statement is not very scientific." Nutrition experts point out that when people are hungry, cells are also in a state of atrophy, and they can't swallow harmful cells, but they will be damaged. In addition, not eating dinner is easy to induce hypoglycemia, which leads to insufficient nutrient supply in organs and decreased human resistance.
Statement 4: A lot of digestive juice can only be secreted when you are hungry. Nutrition experts said: "This statement is really outrageous." Eating will stimulate the digestive gland to secrete a lot of digestive juice. When the human body is hungry, the function of organs secreting digestive juice is relatively closed. From the mouth, chewing food will release a lot of saliva; The esophagus will also release some mucus, which will help food enter the stomach smoothly; The stomach began to accelerate peristalsis and produce digestive enzymes; Next, the duodenum will stimulate the gallbladder to release bile and help break down the fat in food.
If you don't eat dinner, stomach acid will hurt the gastric mucosa, which is not good for nourishing the stomach. So I think eating the right dinner is more helpful to health than not eating it. Dinner is best from 5 pm to 7 pm, try to keep it regular; Dinner should be light, and you can eat some lean meat or eggs with short muscle fibers and easy digestion. Eat more vegetables and coarse grains.
