So people are most likely to make the mistake of overeating in diet. Eating too much will cause a series of diseases and even shorten people's life span. From cell culture, we can know that if we give it too much nutrition, the cells will age prematurely, which will lead to premature aging. Nowadays, mental labor is replacing physical labor more and more, and people's physical consumption is getting smaller and smaller, while mental consumption is getting bigger and bigger, troubles are getting more and more, and psychological pressure is getting bigger and bigger, thus resulting in the constitution of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity. How to change our constitution? First of all, we must make reasonable adjustments in our diet.
Three meals a day is a way of life handed down from ancient times. Chinese medicine pays attention to "syndrome differentiation and treatment" and "syndrome differentiation and treatment" in clinic, that is to say, to find out the cause of the patient and change the cause, so as to get rid of the root cause. The cause of syndrome differentiation can often be traced back to the cause of eating too much. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are also caused by excessive intake of fat and cholesterol, clogging blood vessels; It goes without saying that obesity is because you can't digest it after eating too much. Too thin is also because of eating too much, the already weak spleen and stomach strike, can not absorb energy well …
So what should we do? How to deal with it?
Although eating is a blessing and a guarantee of health and longevity, not all old people can eat as they please. Because people are old and weak in spleen and stomach, they can't digest if they eat too much: people will feel uncomfortable and even cause diseases, so they will take the initiative to reduce their food intake. If necessary, you can use some children's digestive AIDS such as Jianpi powder and Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets.
For us ordinary people, life and work are so stressful, there are so many troubles, and energy consumption is still quite high. Whether modern people need three meals a day, just one or two meals, both nutrition and energy, are enough. In recent years, Science published a heavy article, a two-year clinical trial: "Eight-point satiety" can bring long-term health effects. Studies have shown that limiting calorie intake in diet has always been the cornerstone of aging biology. In the absence of malnutrition, reducing calorie intake has been proved to delay the occurrence of age-related diseases in many animals (including fruit flies, nematodes, rodents and non-human primates), thus prolonging healthy life.
Moderate restriction of calorie intake reconnects many metabolic and immune reactions that can prolong healthy life, so it has long-term beneficial effects on human body. Two years of moderate calorie restriction reprogrammed the pathways in fat cells, which helped to regulate the way mitochondria produce energy, enhance the body's anti-inflammatory response, and prolong healthy life.
Light food is a light, balanced, natural, healthy and unburdened diet. The most important concept is to eat seven or eight points full. In addition, the diet should pay attention to the concept of health, less oil, less salt, less seasoning and more natural materials. Emphasize simplicity, moderation, health and balance, and no longer regard eating as the pleasure of satisfying food. The difference between light eating and dieting is that light eating is to try to choose foods with strong satiety within a certain calorie limit.
One-meal therapy has two embodiments.
The first plan is to eat only one meal. Eat only one meal in the morning and eat vegetarian food. Ordinary people can't insist on it every day, just one or two days a week, and it's best to choose Saturday or Sunday, because there is no work on weekends and weekends, and time can be freely controlled, which can reconcile one's stomach. So, breakfast is very important. You can eat it later. After getting up in the morning, you can make yourself some favorite vegetarian food, including vegetables and bean products, to ensure a balanced nutrition and enjoy the only breakfast in the day. It should be noted that when eating, you should chew slowly and try to reduce the burden of food on the intestines. Chewing slowly is good for our body to fully absorb nutrients. Don't gobble. After dinner, you should do whatever you want, as long as you are not too tired. What if you are thirsty? Don't drink, just drink some boiled water.
We may not feel it at lunch. When it's time to eat, you will feel hungry. If you still don't feel hungry, there is something wrong with your stomach, but it doesn't matter. After such a rest, you will return to normal. If you feel hungry and want to eat, stick to it, because your stomach should creep on time. Usually they wriggle to digest food, but this time they just use peristalsis to clean themselves, and a lot of dirt that has been deposited on the stomach wall slowly falls off. After a period of time, hunger will be reduced or even disappeared. At this time, the human body no longer expects to get any nutrition from the stomach, but instead consumes body fat.
Go to bed early at night, when your stomach is empty and clean. The stomach is the second brain of the human body, and its state will affect your spirit. Therefore, your mood should be very quiet and peaceful at this time. I woke up hungry again. You can eat at this time, but don't eat too much, just eat six points full. In this way, within a week, as long as you only eat one meal for one or two days, you can eat whatever you want during other working hours, and be careful not to overeat. Stick to it for a few weeks and you will see the effect.
Another simple plan is to eat only two meals a day. Because we don't exercise much, even on a busy working day, eating two meals a day is completely enough energy. It is best not to eat dinner and breakfast, because breakfast is usually in the morning (7: 9 am), when qi and blood flow in the stomach meridian, which is the best time to eat. We don't eat dinner and sleep on an empty stomach, so that our stomachs won't work overtime when we rest at night. When we get up early the next morning, we will feel healthy and hungry. At this time, it is morning, the stomach is on duty, and eating is like a duck to water.
Only one or both of the above two schemes can be implemented, that is, from Monday to Friday, the second scheme can be implemented without dinner; The first scheme is implemented on Saturday and Sunday, and only one meal is eaten at home. Of course, you need to choose according to everyone's physique, as long as your health improves.
