I have retired for two years and still cook three meals a day.
First of all, the eating habit of three meals a day has been developed for decades, and it is not easy to change it. If you don't eat at that time, it's as if you didn't do anything important.
In addition, a family has three meals a day. If you change it to two meals a day, there are many inconveniences. I cooked three meals in the morning, noon and evening with my family, and naturally I ate them together.
For a while, my stomach was full and I felt particularly uncomfortable after a meal, so I lost one meal, one in the morning and one in the evening, and my abdominal distension improved obviously. Later, because I was not used to it, I resumed three meals a day, but the weight of each meal was reduced a little.
Retired, older than when I was young, I can't digest it. Eat two or three meals, depending on the situation, as long as it suits me.
No, three meals a day is a natural law formed in the process of human evolution and a basic need to maintain the normal operation of various organs of the body. Otherwise, the stomach will idle and cause damage. Unless the body is abnormal, such as weight loss, indigestion, or encounter abnormal conditions, such as famine, war, can not find food.
My mother got a serious stomach trouble in her forties. She often has stomachache and indigestion. After examination, she had a gastric ulcer. After her father died, she supported herself. All three children had to study at home, raise pigs and cattle, go out to fight pig grass and cut cattle grass before dawn, and then go out to work to earn work points. After work in the afternoon, she will plant private plots and eat a long-term hungry meal. Everything is cold and hard, and she often eats two meals. Sometimes a raw radish or a raw sweet potato can satisfy her hunger.
After I graduated from college, I went to work for a while and my condition improved. I prescribed some medicine and ate three meals a day according to the doctor's advice, but it was cold and terrible. Until later, he lived with us, lived a regular life, recovered naturally, and never committed a crime again. She is 86 years old now, and her digestive function is better than mine.
Retirees who choose to eat two meals may have poor digestive function. Poor digestive function, choose digestible food and cooking methods, be 70% to 80% full, exercise properly, work and rest on time, and insist on three meals a day.
I agree. Don't always scare people with three meals a day handed down from their ancestors. How did the ancestors live three meals a day, and how did they live at the age of 70? From 65438 to 0949, the average life expectancy of China people was 39 years. Now the average life expectancy has increased to 77 years. First, the medical level has improved. Second, the living standard has been greatly improved. Third, the diet has become more scientific. Nowadays, nutrition is extremely rich, and there are many times when it is surplus. Two meals a day is very suitable. Studies on light fasting and light fasting abroad have proved that the interval between meals in a day is 14 hours, and the gastrointestinal tract can produce stress reaction, which is beneficial to reducing fat and lowering blood pressure. Eating two meals is scientific and healthy. Believe in science!
There is an old man beside me, 9 1 year old this year. His body is very strong. He told us that his life was very regular. He has three meals a day and never has two meals. He eats and drinks at a relatively fixed time in the morning, noon and evening. There is also that he never eats enough, only 80% full. By the next meal, he was hungry, had a good appetite and was comfortable to eat.
Actually, I feel retired and only eat two meals. There is no right or wrong, and there are no strict standards. The key is to look at your body, eating habits and absorption and digestion. If you think the interval between two meals is too long, you should go back to three meals. If you feel indigestion and no hunger, then don't eat hard. You can't eat well until you are hungry, not to mention the old, but also the young.
I think there is another problem that the elderly need to pay attention to, that is, they should eat healthily according to their own situation, and at the same time, they should eat reasonably. Don't deliberately reduce your food intake. You can't eat and drink to satisfy your appetite, but you should eat and drink scientifically and moderately according to your own health. The old man I just mentioned. What he told us is that we should follow our feelings in diet, but we should control the amount of food. He eats everything and never avoids food. He eats meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables.
Another important habit of this old man is that he likes to drink chicken soup. He drinks old hen soup all year round. He asked his wife to go to the market to buy local chickens, or asked people to go to the countryside to buy old hens. He drinks some chicken soup for lunch every day. He thinks chicken soup is a great tonic. He asked that no salt should be put in the chicken stew, just add some onion ginger wine. When drinking, he added some salt and coriander, which he thought was the best and most fragrant. In fact, we don't have to pursue which soup is more beneficial to people. I think it depends on everyone's taste. As long as it suits you, it is the best.
Old people still have "three highs", take medicine. Although 9 1 year-old, he never felt that the "three highs" put too much pressure on him. But in daily life, he still respects the doctor's advice very much and follows the doctor's advice to carry out his own diet. He also has an important experience to tell us, that is, a regular life. He gets up and goes to bed at a relatively fixed time every morning and evening. Take a lunch break for half an hour to an hour at noon every day.
I tried once, but I couldn't. Because I retired, I got up at eight o'clock in the morning and followed the principle of eating early. I didn't eat much at noon, but I still had to burn. I was busy for a long time and couldn't eat. Later, I changed to eat at three o'clock in the afternoon. However, after a nap, I couldn't sleep and felt something was missing. In addition, eating in the afternoon, eating before going to bed, or three meals, broke the previous law. So now I still eat three meals, and the habits inherited from my ancestors must also be attached to the gastrointestinal function. Just a symbolic lunch.
It varies from person to person and depends on physical fitness. In short, it's the same sentence. Eat well at breakfast, eat well at lunch and eat less at dinner. When you are old, you need to take care of yourself, pay attention to balanced nutrition, reasonable diet, be happy and exercise, and have a happy and healthy old age!
I won't do that. The reasons are as follows: First, everything handed down by ancestors is a summary of practical experience, which embodies the dietary laws in the process of human existence. We live to be old and eat three meals a day, and will not change because of retirement. Second, breakfast is an important meal in a day. Eat well at breakfast, eat well at lunch and eat little at dinner. Explain the importance of having a good breakfast in three meals a day. After a night, people need nutritional supplements most in the morning. Eating a good breakfast is good for strengthening their physique and improving their immunity. I eat breakfast, not only every day, but also in various ways. A fresh boiled egg is essential. Third, you should develop good living habits after retirement. I don't think eating two meals a day is a good habit. Young people like life, sleep more in the morning to make up for lack of sleep, and have breakfast and Chinese food together. After retirement, old people usually go to bed early and get up early. If they sleep most of the day, it is really unnecessary and may be bad for their health. If you get up early, you can exercise in the morning, isn't it better? Of course, everyone has different living habits. Some people eat two meals a day after retirement, which is suitable for their own physical reality, and they think it is ok to enjoy life like this. When you retire, you should also have a variety of lifestyles. As long as you like, it is good to experience this freedom.
When people get older, the digestive system will slowly decline! It turns out that "three meals" every day is like a short time, and I can't arrange it. It's time to eat again, so I have a headache every time I eat. My personal "experience" is that I can eat two meals, so my stomach is more comfortable, but I can't live without fruit every day. I can eat some fruit or something at night. My own thoughts. [Laugh] [Laugh] [Laugh] [Laugh] [Laugh] [Laugh]
In the past, the supply of military materials was difficult, and the army could only eat two meals. There is no way, so the soldiers' physical strength can't keep up! There was not enough oil and water at that time!
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, two meals a day were changed to three meals a day at the request of the army!
Why did people in the past live so short? I thought nutrition couldn't keep up!
You can eat less dinner three times a day!
You won't just eat two meals. Now 4-5 meals a day. Breakfast/lunch/afternoon fruit yogurt/dinner. Dinner is the simplest and least. Breakfast is basically eggs/miscellaneous grains porridge soybean milk or homemade bread/cheese coffee, and Chinese food is basically vegetables. One or two staple foods, protein food 80- 120g- chicken breast/salmon/beef/
