Generally speaking, the ideal state is that we get off work at 5: 30 in the evening and get home in half an hour (in Beijing, many people are basically dreaming). If you cook now, it will take about 7 o'clock to eat. It is not too late to eat at this time. It's normal to take a walk after dinner 10: 30 to sleep. Of course, it would be great if we could go home early and have food when we get home! You can have more leisure time in the evening. During this time, the food can be well digested, and it takes about 3 hours to empty your stomach, so you can sleep peacefully (provided that you don't overeat and eat too much undigested meat, such as kebabs and roast leg of lamb).
In the hospital, we usually have breakfast from 7: 00 to 7:15, lunch from1:00 to115, and dinner from 5: 00 to 5:15. After working in the ward for more than 20 years, patients often ask: Why do you eat so early? We ate late at home, so we were not used to being in the hospital. Hehe, to be honest, there are too many things I'm not used to in the hospital. I have worked in the hospital for 25 years and I have long been used to it!
Why does the hospital eat dinner early? Dinner in the ward starts at 5 o'clock and ends at 6 o'clock. However, the food we often eat is not always digestible porridge and noodles. Fish and meat food takes 3 hours to empty your stomach. If you are still eating fried or other high-fat and high-protein mixed foods, I'm sorry it will take four hours to empty your stomach, which means you can easily fall asleep when the lights are turned off in the ward at 9: 30. I can't sleep in bed, not because the food isn't digested.
However, many things are not satisfactory. Working-class people in big cities get stuck in traffic every day after work, and it's 7-8 o'clock when they get home. What do we do in three ways: 1, light diet for dinner, porridge and side dishes, vegetable porridge, boiled noodles, boiled frozen jiaozi+fried a simple dish for half an hour. And we also suggest that dinner should be as simple and light as possible, which is also an important measure for gastrointestinal health care. (I guess I'll scold again)
2, if you want to "breakfast in a hurry, lunch fool, dinner like a". Let's go to a roadside restaurant not far from home for dinner. After dinner, the traffic jam disappeared, so I walked home relaxed.
3. When resting at home, you can cook some hard dishes, no matter what curry beef, potato chicken, braised pork ribs, fried hairtail, braised pork ... after cooling, divide them into small portions, seal them and freeze them. When I came home late, the microwave oven thawed for 5 minutes, during which I cooked with steamed bread or electric pressure cooker, and then fried a vegetarian dish. It never takes 30 minutes before and after dinner, and you can take a shower with quick hands and feet!
Raising a family is not easy, but it is a top priority. After dinner, it was fun for the couple to discuss how to cook breakfast and dinner the next day.

How to eat dinner scientifically;
In most people's dinners, meat is the absolute protagonist. Whether entertaining outside or eating at home, there are often braised pork, stewed pig's trotters and fried chicken chops on the table.
Eating too much red meat and processed meat products at night, such as hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages, etc. Will increase the risk of intestinal cancer. After fried or grilled, red meat will produce isocyclic amines, which may also lead to intestinal cancer. Moreover, the low fiber content of red meat is easy to cause constipation, which will affect the neutralization of cholic acid and stimulate the epithelial cells of large intestine.
Always eat leftovers for dinner: many old people are afraid of waste and always eat leftovers at night. Statistics show that many pancreatitis, especially acute pancreatitis, are related to unhealthy eating habits, such as overeating and eating spoiled food. In particular, fish with high protein content may deteriorate, which may also lead to bacterial infection and further induce pancreatic lesions.
Eating gas-producing foods for dinner: Eating some foods that produce more gas during digestion at night, such as beans, cabbage, broccoli, green peppers, eggplant, potatoes, taro, corn, bananas, bread, citrus fruits, drinks and desserts with xylitol (sweetener), will make people feel bloated and hinder normal sleep.
The best time to have dinner is around 6 pm. If you go to bed immediately after eating, the heat will be converted into fat and accumulated in the body before burning.
Therefore, you should finish your dinner at least two hours before going to bed. Eating too late is easy to get stones. The best time for dinner is around six o'clock, and it is best not to exceed seven o'clock. The peak of micturition is 4-5 hours after meals. If dinner is too late, the human body fails to excrete urine in time and goes to sleep.
At this time, a large number of calcium salts in urine will stay in the urinary system and combine with uric acid to produce calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate precipitates and accumulates to form stones. Therefore, in addition to drinking water properly, it is advisable to eat dinner early and go to bed after urinating once, which can reduce the occurrence of stones.
People often say: eat three meals a day, have a good breakfast, have a full lunch and eat less at dinner. But in real life, people often turn Chinese food and dinner upside down, because there are too many things to do at noon, so they can only deal with them at lunch time. Dinner is different. After a busy day, I either go home to cook some dishes, eat seafood with my colleagues and friends, have another barbecue, or eat at a food stall at night. Eat and drink in the sea, get drunk and have a good meal, and then go to bed.
Who knows, many diseases are eaten at dinner like this.
Experts remind the matters that should be paid attention to when dining in the evening: ① The best time for dinner is around 18 o'clock, and no later than 2 1 point. Don't eat barbecue and night clouds after meals. (3) Dinner should not be too full. Generally, you only eat eight points full. ④ Dinner should be light and eat more vegetables containing fiber and carbohydrates. Don't sleep for four hours after a meal, so that the food in your stomach can be fully digested.
When to have dinner depends on when you come home from work. If you cook at home, eat when you can. In other words, you may eat at 7 pm, 8 pm or 9 pm 10. This is the office worker, the dinner time is not easy to master, and dinner can only be cooked according to work. When to go home, when to cook, when to finish eating and when to eat.
People who don't go to work, or people who are not limited by time, the time for eating three meals a day will not change much, and will remain in a relatively stable period of time. Generally speaking, breakfast is between 6: 00 and 7: 00 in the morning, lunch is between noon11-kloc-0/2, and the appropriate time for dinner is between 6: 00 and 7: 00 in the evening. You can go outside to exercise for about two hours. Exercise can increase the digestive function of the stomach to food, so as not to accumulate food, so that the body will not get fat, and don't eat greasy food for dinner, which is good for the body.
For elderly friends who retire at home, they can spend their leisure time at home without consuming physical strength. I suggest that they eat two meals a day. Although everyone gets up early in the morning, most people will go outdoors and go to the park to exercise after getting up. After exercise, they will have breakfast. This time is also 8 am or 10. Because they are a little tired and hungry from exercise, they can eat more meat and eggs. By 3: 00 or 4: 00 in the afternoon, you can have dinner. Dinner should not be too light, but should be accompanied by meat and vegetables. Because you have to exercise outside after dinner, it is no problem to eat well when you are full. Because you eat early, you can't eat eight points full, you have to eat very full.
So when to eat dinner is the healthiest, it should be decided according to my specific situation, and we can't generalize!
Dinner is best eaten from 17: 30 to 19: 00. If it's too early, we haven't finished digesting lunch. If it's too late for your stomach, don't exceed 19: 00 at the latest.
The staple food for dinner can be millet, brown rice, sorghum, corn, sweet potato, oats and so on. It is recommended to take a walk for 20~30 minutes after dinner, and the dinner is mainly seven minutes full.
There should be a vegetable for dinner, such as lettuce, Chinese cabbage and cabbage.
Protein food for dinner, such as chicken breast, steamed fish, tofu, eggs, etc.
Choose light cooking methods, such as steaming and stewing. And avoid frying, sweet and sour, thickening.
Choose natural and fresh ingredients and avoid processed food.
It is recommended to rest before 1 1 in the evening. Good sleep can effectively improve the body's metabolism.
It is reasonable for us to have dinner at six or seven in the evening, but the accelerated pace of modern life makes us eat dinner later and later. Some can't go home for dinner on time because of overtime, some are far away from home and spend a lot of time on the road, and some are used to arranging entertainment at night. It's normal to eat, drink and be merry until 9 pm.
Health hazards of eating dinner too late;
1. It is easy to cause obesity. Dinner is too late, which means you have been hungry for a long time. At this time, it is easier to choose foods with high calories and low nutrition. If you eat too many calories, you will be very tired after running for a day, so you may simply take a bath and go to bed. After meals, the content of sugar and fat in the blood rises. Without exercise, excess calories become fat.
2. Increase the risk of stroke. Studies have shown that the later you eat dinner, the higher the risk of stroke. On the contrary, eating early and ensuring that the interval between eating and sleeping is at least 60-70 minutes can reduce the risk of stroke by 66%.
3. The risk of stomach cancer is high. The University of Tokyo in Japan conducted a study on patients with gastric cancer. Researchers believe that the life span of gastric mucosal epithelial cells is very short and needs to be updated every 2-3 days. The renewal process is usually carried out at night when the stomach is resting. If you eat dinner too late, the gastrointestinal tract will not rest, and the gastric mucosa will not be updated and repaired in time, which may increase the risk of gastric cancer in the long run.
4. Being forced to work overtime in the stomach directly affects sleep, leading to problems such as difficulty in falling asleep, shallow sleep, dreaminess and even insomnia. After a long time, it is easy to lead to memory loss and neurasthenia.
Forty-five hours after a meal is the peak time for human body to excrete calcium. If you eat dinner too late, when the peak of calcium excretion comes, people are already asleep, and urine can't be excreted in time, so a lot of calcium in urine will be deposited, which will easily lead to kidney calculi's disease, urethral calculi and so on after a long time.
Hunger makes people lose control of their emotions, lose patience, become impatient when things happen, and want to fight if they can't control anything.
7. Eating dinner too late means being hungry for too long. Failure to eat in time may lead to hypoglycemia, which is very harmful to brain function, causing inattention and even fainting.
It seems that we can't change such a big environment, our bodies are our own, and everyone needs to formulate a set of coping strategies according to their own situation. For their own health, don't have dinner too late.
A little advice:
For white-collar workers who often work overtime, you can prepare something to eat in the office, such as a cup of milk to brew wheat germ and a fruit, or a piece of whole wheat bread, a cup of milk and a fruit or vegetable. If you work too late, you can order a nutritious takeaway in the office to solve the dinner, but when ordering, you should pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables, such as a yogurt and shrimp dumplings with vegetables, such as a bowl of unsweetened eight-treasure porridge and jiaozi with three fresh fillings, which are all good choices. I can't help it. What should I do if I get home too late and get hungry? You can eat some complicated carbohydrates and vegetables at this time. These foods are easier to digest and will not cause the blood sugar to rise too fast after meals. Another dinner trick is that the later you have dinner, the less you eat. That is to say, if dinner is around 6 o'clock, you can eat 6 or 7 minutes full, if you eat 5 minutes full after 7 o'clock, if dinner is after 8 o'clock, just eat a little and make do with not being hungry.
Of course, you can't eat dinner too late. You'd better finish it before eight o'clock. This is the best way to meet your health needs. Of course, if you work at night, that is another matter. Night shift has the habit of working and sleeping at night. A person who develops good habits is also responsible for his life. He should be a person responsible for his health.
I ate dinner too late, and before the food in my stomach was digested, it was time to go to bed. At this time, I am very tired after a day's work. Lying in bed immediately will also delay the digestion of food and increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. This is definitely unacceptable. It's best not to eat at dinner.
Be sure to eat this meal early in the evening and eat less. That would be great.
Eat well in the morning, at noon and at night.
Dinner is of course as early as possible, but many people can't do it now. Many people are gaining weight, which actually has a lot to do with eating dinner too late. Because they get off work late and have dinner late, but they don't exercise much at night, so they can't consume energy and pile up in the form of fat. After dinner, it is easy to feel full early. Many people feel full after getting up in the morning, so they will delay eating breakfast. If you don't eat for a long time, it will easily lead to digestive diseases, such as bloating, indigestion, gallstones, etc., so you should try to eat dinner as early as possible even if you are busy.
The best time to eat in the evening is around 17:00, because 18:00-20:00 is the best time for exercise. If you can eat at five o'clock in the evening, you can exercise 1 hour every day without affecting your sleep and health. On the contrary, you can help control your weight and promote your health as much as possible. It is suggested that light exercise can be done after meals 1 hour, and moderate and high intensity exercise can be done 2 hours after meals. It is ok to take a walk after dinner 1 hour. Walking itself can help consume the energy of dinner and play a role in losing weight.
Eating dinner early is also good, that is, there is enough digestion time. Eating dinner early can avoid the feeling of being full too early. Eating dinner early will give you more time in the evening, which can also help improve the problem of staying up late and gradually change to going to bed early. The advantage of going to bed early is that people can wake up early naturally, and so on, three meals will be more punctual, with both exercise and adequate sleep, and the time and quality will be guaranteed.
With the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for diet have gradually increased. As we all know, the regularity of three meals is of great significance to the health of the body. At dinner time, everyone should avoid eating too well and too full. In addition, we should also pay attention to grasping the delicious time of dinner, which can ultimately help our health. When should we choose the best time to eat?
Many people may eat dinner late because of their busy work, but it is actually a very bad habit. If you eat too late, it will not only affect the normal sleep of the body, but also increase the burden of the gastrointestinal tract, eventually inducing obesity, leading to the occurrence of various chronic diseases and bringing more adverse effects to the body.
It is generally believed that the time for eating should be arranged around 6 pm, and try not to exceed 9 pm. Generally speaking, it is best not to sleep for four hours after a meal. Food can fully digest the food you eat, and it will not affect the sleep quality of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of relaxation.
What many people don't know is that if you eat dinner too late, your gastrointestinal tract will be difficult to get a good rest, and your gastric mucosa will not be repaired in time. In the long run, the risk of gastric cancer will gradually increase.
From this perspective, the timing of eating is still very critical. When having dinner, everyone should try to avoid eating too late, and at the same time, don't eat too much and too full, so as not to affect their health.
