"The emperor's breakfast, the minister's lunch and the beggar's dinner."

It means eating well for breakfast, eating well for lunch and eating less for dinner. Do you want to eat as rough as a beggar at night? No! So in this article, let's learn how to eat dinner.

Eating well at breakfast, eating well at lunch and eating less at dinner is a reasonable dietary rule.

breakfast

First, breakfast. It should be noted that breakfast must be eaten. Skipping breakfast is easy to suffer from digestive system diseases such as gallstones, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and colitis.

lunch

The second is to eat at noon, but not too full. 70% to 80% full is the most appropriate. If it is a person with weak spleen and stomach, it is recommended to be 50% to 60% full.

dinner

Finally, eat less dinner, that is, eat 20% to 30% full dinner, which can provide some necessary energy. Because most people rest in the middle of the night, unlike the ancient people who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, they don't rest until after dark. In today's society, people have to work overtime, study or participate in some social activities at night, so they sleep late. Therefore, modern people can supplement the energy needed by the body by eating a proper amount of dinner.

What are the principle requirements for eating?

There is a sentence I want to share with you: I would rather be less, not vegetarian, and early. This means that it is best to eat less dinner, mainly vegetarian or light and digestible food. Avoid big fish and big meat, fat and sweet. And eat as early as possible, not too late. Some people often eat at seven or eight o'clock for various reasons, even late at night. This will have a very bad effect on the body.

Then someone said, "I'm a vegetarian, so I have to eat at night!" " "

Is this right?

Actually, this is not right.

Then let's talk about the harm of eating too much dinner here.

From the perspective of viscera function and meridian operation

According to the functional classification of our internal organs, the kidney meridian is seasonal from five to seven in the evening, the pericardium meridian is seasonal from seven to nine, and the triple energizer meridian is seasonal from nine to eleven. No matter from the function of any meridian, it can not promote the digestion of excessive diet, but will only cause the burden of kidney meridian, pericardium meridian and triple energizer meridian.

Because it takes about three to four hours for food to enter the stomach, during this time, food is decomposed by the stomach and then discharged into the small intestine through the small intestine and the large intestine to absorb the essence of food. But at this time, it is precisely this function that has been in a relatively dormant state. If you eat too much, it will seriously block up and down the triple energizer meridians. The heat required for food decomposition in the stomach comes from the kidney, and the night is the autumn harvest and winter storage stage, and the collection of kidney gas will hinder the collection of kidney gas too much, resulting in the failure to collect or store kidney yang, which violates the principle followed by the basic physiological functions of viscera.

The above is analyzed from the perspective of viscera function and meridian operation in traditional Chinese medicine. Now let's look at it from another angle.

If you eat too much dinner, your stomach will swell rapidly in a short time, and the whole stomach will be five to six times larger than when you are on an empty stomach. It takes more energy to digest food, and the blood needed by the stomach will increase greatly.

Patients with heart disease

In this case, the phenomenon of gastric tube blood will appear, which will make the blood supply to the heart drop sharply. If some patients already have certain heart problems, it is likely to lead to coronary heart disease and even cardiac arrest, that is, sudden death.

I have encountered such a case in clinic before. The patient had a myocardial infarction and had just been discharged from hospital. He eats jiaozi at home in the evening. As a result, he ate too much at one time and felt a little full, so he wanted to go out and digest it. As a result, I just walked out of the house and suddenly had a recurrence of myocardial infarction. As a result, I died in time This is a very painful lesson.

diabetic

Special attention should also be paid to diabetic patients. Diabetic patients have weak spleen and stomach function and decreased islet function. At this time, if you eat a lot at night, the accumulation of food in your stomach will greatly increase the burden on your spleen and stomach. Spleen governs transport and transformation. When food stays in the body for too long, the spleen will produce or feel damp heat. In traditional Chinese medicine, islet function belongs to spleen. Therefore, we see that many diabetic patients' blood sugar indicators have been unhealthy, just because they eat too much.

Hepatobiliary patients

There are also patients with hepatobiliary diseases. The liver is the only detoxification organ in our body. If you eat too much at night, it will increase the burden on your liver. Light can cause fatty liver, and severe can lead to cirrhosis. Even because the liver meridian is not smooth and the oil is blocked, it will cause diseases such as liver cysts, liver tumors and gallstones.

Pay special attention to

What people don't notice is that it is very dangerous for people who are usually weak in body and yang, that is, people with low firepower, low blood pressure, weakness and terminal illness to eat too much dinner.

For example, many of us may have seen a stove at home to keep warm in winter. The fire in the stove is certain. If you add a little carbon every time, the fire in the stove will burn brightly and will not go out, and the temperature in the room will be kept well. But if we add a lot of carbon to the furnace at one time, in most cases, the fire will be crushed to death at once and put out completely. Why? Because the energy generated by the original fire in the furnace is not enough to provide several times the energy needed for carbon combustion.

The energy needed in the process of food acceptance, digestion and absorption in the body mainly comes from kidney fire. But the fire provided by the kidneys every day or every time is limited. If these kidney fires can only help the spleen, stomach and intestines digest a catty of food, instead of eating two, three or even more at a time, then kidney fires are simply not enough.

Therefore, it is conceivable that this will directly affect the interest-bearing problem of our source of life. To give an extreme example, it is a patient who has come back from the dead. We may have heard or seen that some patients suddenly feel refreshed and want to eat when they are terminally ill. At this time, their families will mistakenly think that the patient is getting better and will prepare a lot of food or supplements for the patient. However, the patient did not get better after eating it, but died soon. This is because patients rely on the last bit of Yuanyang qi, and there is a phenomenon of returning to the light. Just like when the candle is about to go out, it will suddenly bang and then go out. So don't give the patient too much food at this time. If the patient eats too much, he will die soon. Because at this stage, the patient's kidney yang, that is, Yuanyang, is not much left, which is in jeopardy. If only kidney yang is provided to the stomach to digest and absorb food, other functions of the human body cannot be restarted.

From this extreme example, we can also see that we must protect the kidney, protect the kidney yang, and let it return to the kidney yin quietly and effectively at night. This is the real way to preserve health.

In many cases, the extension of treatment, the increase of treatment difficulty, the recurrence of diseases and even the emergence of critical situations are often related to the unrestrained dinner, so this point must be paid attention to by everyone.
