At the earliest time, not eating in the afternoon was a dietary rule customized by Buddha for monks. It is correct to say that you are not allowed to eat outside the specified time. That means the sun is not allowed to eat from noon to dawn the next day. The Buddha thinks that not eating after noon has the following advantages:
1, the less you eat, the less sexual desire between men and women.
2, you can relax and let your stomach rest.
3. Easy to enter meditation.
4. You can have more time to practice.
5, if you want to get rid of it, you must first reduce your appetite.
So skipping lunch is a healthier way of eating, but we modern people have the habit of eating dinner. In fact, eating it is also the cause of many diseases. Therefore, if you are hungry at night, if you can persist, you'd better not eat, which is good for your health.
In our modern Chinese medicine, we also think that we don't eat at noon. What about this? Afternoon? It means from 1 1 to 13 at noon. Don't eat after this time. Some people say that if you are hungry, you can eat some fruit and drink some juice.
In ancient times, if a person ate dinner, it would be considered as bohemian behavior. Even the government can't let you take the imperial examination. More importantly, you may not find a wife, which will also affect your business.
In modern life, although it is said that you can't eat after noon, it is also a kind of health preservation to try not to eat midnight snack or eat too much at night and do more outdoor sports.
