As the saying goes, "Hungry for food", is there any scientific basis?
There is no scientific basis!

There is no panacea for all diseases, and there is no food that is good for everyone. Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Don't be cheated again.

Saying "hungry" is really good for some diseases. Of course, the "hunger" here mainly refers to the control of total energy intake, mainly for diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver, obesity, gout, dyslipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux and so on. Most of them are metabolic diseases.

It is necessary for patients with diarrhea, cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis to gain weight. So don't lose weight blindly and don't be "hungry".

At present, the more popular hunger methods in the market are "5+2" fasting and "breaking the valley". In fact, the simplest, easiest to achieve, and easiest to adhere to is to adjust our usual dietary intake.

Specific methods:

The method of controlling total energy is more suitable for short-term operation. If you want to persist for a long time, you need to do it under the guidance of a professional dietitian or doctor to avoid malnutrition.

First of all, this sentence itself has no scientific basis. If you are hungry, you can get rid of all diseases. What's the use of a hospital? What does a nutritionist do? Aren't they all salty?

Compare the average life expectancy of people in the past, when they had to starve, and then compare the average life expectancy of modern people. I think most people have a score in mind.

Hunger itself is harmful to the body.

The normal function of human body needs many nutrients. If you are hungry, these nutrients will be gone. Physical damage. If you are so damaged for a long time, it is definitely a short-lived representative.

There is a saying that frequent starvation promotes health.

There is a theory in modern medicine that proper use of hunger can exercise organs (similar to our extreme sports).

This research has been carried out in many group experiments. It is found that for some healthy people, some children's ways can promote health by being hungry for a few days a week or a few days at a time, which really plays a certain role in exercise. However, especially for people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, hunger has caused a great burden to the body, and has not played the role of exercise, but has aggravated the condition.

Therefore, if you want to improve your physical condition by starving, it is operational in the hands of professionals and not suitable for everyone, especially those with physical problems.

Hunger is actually harmful to health. Many young women often skip two meals in order to lose weight. Over time, they were so hungry that their eyes were dizzy and their limbs were paralyzed that anemia came out. Is this not worth the loss? As we all know, you are hungry after dinner, listless at work, top-heavy, dull all over, and sometimes you sweat. Don't say that hunger can cure all diseases. Let you report to the horrible place early, and you will never get sick.

In fact, there is no scientific basis that hunger can cure all diseases. Hunger can't solve the problem, which is a lie. Three meals a day is unnecessary, and the law of life is moderate. Nutrition is harmonious, and eating less doesn't matter. But if you don't eat a meal, it is irresponsible to your body. Man and machine are the same. If any parts are damaged, there will be no original parts after repair. Long-term wear and tear will bring endless troubles.

People often say that many diseases are eaten, and it is true. Diet control is a hundred times better than starving you. People with "three highs" usually have no sense of self-protection when eating. Whether it's good wine, good food or poor tea, don't overeat. From a medical point of view, being three points hungry and seven points full will prolong life and cause fewer diseases. But don't treat "hunger cures all diseases" as a few meals. You are not a fairy. You can still ensure the normal operation of three meals a day, and with proper conditioning, diseases can be reduced a lot. If you say that all diseases do not invade, there is nothing you can do.

The so-called "hunger cures all diseases" has no exact scientific basis, but this statement has a source. Because modern people have good living conditions, many people have developed the habit of overeating. Long-term overeating, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and high uric acid have all come! There are also some people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, once they eat too much, they will feel uncomfortable, but it is good to be hungry properly.

There is scientific evidence that uncontrolled diet can cause many chronic diseases, but it is really exaggerated to say that "hunger can cure all diseases". In particular, those who claim on major media platforms that "no food, hunger cures all diseases" are suspected of misleading children. It was true that Chinese medicine said not to eat after noon in ancient times, but it is different now.

Modern people have a busy pace of life and rich nightlife. If they don't eat dinner, their bodies will be short of energy and can't bear it at all. The so-called "if you are hungry, you are not hungry" is actually harmful to your health. People who skip dinner are prone to constipation and gastrointestinal problems, because it is not uncommon for people who skip dinner to cause gastric ulcers.

For people who are used to eating full fat, proper starvation is indeed beneficial and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. But if you have a normal figure, don't be idle about yourself.

Eat seven points full, and always leave three points hungry.

Hunger cures all diseases, which is an idea of Chinese medicine.

However, the "hunger" here is set by specific situational conditions. Hunger cannot always be used to treat diseases, and the original intention of "hunger cures all diseases" cannot be misinterpreted casually.

Moreover, hunger cures all diseases, which is a general and exaggerated statement. Just saying "hunger" can be used in many situations, but not all the time.

Specifically, being seven points full and three points hungry is the most beneficial to health, and it is also the real "hunger cures all diseases".

So, under what circumstances can you be "hungry"?

First of all, I often feel upset in my stomach.

Many people in China have stomach problems, most of which are caused by overeating.

Eating too much for a long time will make the stomach swell, damage the gastric mucosa, and ultimately affect the gastrointestinal health. For example, chronic gastritis, a very common disease, has a high incidence in China.

If you don't want to feel uncomfortable, you must always be hungry, but you can't stop eating completely. Skipping breakfast and dinner is also harmful to the stomach and is not worth advocating.

The best way is to eat less and light, and don't have a full meal. It is best to leave for a few minutes.

Therefore, it is correct to eat less when eating and stop eating immediately when you feel full but can still eat.

Don't eat too much. If you always leave some space in your stomach, it will make your stomach digest faster, reduce the pressure on your stomach, make your stomach easier to work and keep healthy.

Second, wake up in the middle of the night and feel hungry.

There is something more painful in the world than being hungry, and that is being hungry in the middle of the night.

Traditionally, when people sleep in the middle of the night, most of the internal organs begin to trim, and the stomach begins to double the secretion of gastric acid to digest food, which is why people wake up in the middle of the night and feel particularly hungry.

If you wake up hungry in the middle of the night, you can naturally feel full, but at the same time you will generate a lot of energy, which will make your body excited again, and your stomach will continue to work. Even if you don't lose sleep, it will do harm to your body.

And now many people suffer from insomnia, which has almost become a national pain. A lot of insomnia is caused by overeating.

Insomnia is mainly due to neurasthenia, and most people's insomnia will also have problems such as anxiety and easy to wake up in the middle of the night. If you eat too much before going to bed, insomnia will get worse.

So don't eat too much before going to bed, and don't eat when you are seven or eight full. This will make your stomach more relaxed and your nerves relaxed, which is conducive to sleep and health.

Third, the problem of obesity.

There is a saying that obesity is a sick person. Fat people are more likely to get sick and have worse health. Modern people pursue a slim and symmetrical figure not only for good looks, but also for health.

Needless to say, the most obvious consequence of eating too much is obesity, especially many people like to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods, which makes them more likely to get fat.

People need to get energy and nutrition through food, but if they eat too much, they will accumulate in the body and become obese.

After gaining weight, it will not only become unsightly, but also have too much fat, which is a huge burden to the internal organs and the body, thus causing a series of complications, such as the most typical three high problems.

Some people are really not fat no matter how they eat, which is actually a troublesome problem, because there may be other hidden diseases in the body, which leads to the inability to effectively absorb nutrients.

If you feel that you are not fat after eating, you will be overloaded with food, so although there seems to be no problem on the surface, in fact, the gastrointestinal organs will still be damaged. Such people have no scruples because they are not fat, and usually the damage is even greater.

So, if you don't want to get too fat, if you want to lose weight, you'd better shut up and don't eat too much.

Fourth, curb tumors.

For a long time, there has been a saying that "cancer cells starve to death". Of course, this is not reliable. If cancer cells can be cured by starvation, why should hospitals do so?

But within a certain range, this statement still has some basis, but some people exaggerate it.

Usually, the spread of cancer cells needs to compete with normal cells in the human body for nutrition. If you eat less, it will really help to inhibit the spread of cancer cells, but at the same time it will also have the side effect of insufficient nutrition.

For obese and overnourished people, it is indeed possible to balance the nutritional supply in the body by eating less hungry, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting cancer cells.

Eating too much is also closely related to gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. Eating less and staying hungry are also effective in preventing some cancers.

Hunger can cure all diseases, although it is exaggerated, but it is not completely unreasonable.

There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "diet is moderate", and it is believed that the five flavors will damage the five internal organs and easily dissipate the vitality to maintain life.

Hunger is also necessary if you want to stay healthy and live a long life.

Of course, I don't eat at all, just don't eat too much.

Over the years, Japan has maintained the status of the world's longest-lived country, with the average life expectancy of men and women ranking first in the world for decades in a row. Moreover, Japan's eating habits also advocate eating immediately after eating seven or eight points, but not completely full.

Overeating, many diseases and long-term overeating will not only overload the digestive system for a long time, but also lead to premature organ failure and all-round attenuation of immune function. Excessive calories can also cause fat accumulation, which will bring a series of diseases.

Diseases above 150, such as heart disease, stomach trouble, diabetes, osteoporosis, etc., are closely related to overeating.

Therefore, if you want to be healthy, you must control your mouth and keep "three-point hunger" forever. As for "seven-point fullness", you should stop when you feel hungry, but you can continue to eat.

I'm glad to answer this question.

Nowadays, the saying that "hunger can cure all diseases" circulating on the Internet has caused many people to have ambiguity about the eating habits of three meals a day. In order to keep healthy, many people just starve and skip dinner. But can skipping dinner really cure all diseases? We should be suspicious.

Speaking of "hunger cures all diseases", it is better to say that this is hunger therapy. The most typical hunger therapy is the fifty-third episode of A Dream of Red Mansions: Qingwen, Baoyu's personal maid, suffered from wind and cold and was almost ill. Later, due to the fatigue of mending birds and fur, her condition became more and more serious. But the book records: "I was hungry for two or three days, but I took medicine carefully and nursed back to health." Although I have worked hard for a few days and trained twice, I am getting better and better. " But with a cold, can you be "hungry" for two or three days?

Not taking medicine for minor ailments is a way for the ancients to keep fit, but the so-called hunger therapy is not to eat rice, but to drink some rice porridge properly. When you have a common cold, you can take appropriate hunger therapy, drink more white rice porridge, put mung beans and barley in porridge in summer, and put more glutinous rice in winter. Middle-aged and elderly people can put some red dates and yam. For gastrointestinal cold, it is manifested as nausea and diarrhea. Can be cooked with white radish and salt to help digestion.

But at present, there is no theoretical basis for saying that a cold can be cured by deliberately starving for two or three days. This "self-healing" situation often occurs in people with strong immune function, but it is not suitable for people with weak immunity. Whether it's a cold or other diseases, you can't get better by being hungry. We need active treatment, maintain a good appetite and enhance our own resistance in order to recover as soon as possible.

When it comes to hunger therapy, you have to say "keeping in good health has gone too far". In fact, keeping healthy by crossing the valley is not simply not eating or simply starving, but a professional practice related to Qigong, which requires special guidance and practice. The general public had better not try it easily.

Many dieters advocate not eating after noon, or fasting, in order to achieve the purpose of health preservation or slimming. But this practice is not very encouraging. Intentional starvation is harmful to health. Although it is popular to lose weight or lose weight on weekends, there is no medical basis. Fasting is usually used for patients after overeating, and the purpose of restoring spleen and stomach function is achieved through short fasting. However, many women who overeat will suffer from anemia, irregular menstruation, osteoporosis, gastroptosis and memory loss. Therefore, dieters do not advocate fasting, but advocate scientific diet, proper exercise and gradual weight loss.

I think "Hunger cures all diseases" has scientific basis. If there is no hunger in the stomach all day, it will cause the stomach to be overworked, and proper hunger can make the stomach get proper rest, and the stomach can repair itself during rest. Perhaps many people misunderstand that "hunger can cure all diseases" means that you can cure all diseases without eating. We should make it feel a little hungry between meals, and don't eat it when it is hungry, which is not good for the health of the stomach. If you eat whenever you feel hungry, your stomach will always be in a working state and will not rest. Maintain a proper sense of hunger between meals and let the stomach have a short rest. This is the same as our lunch break at noon. A short lunch break can make the afternoon full of energy.

Don't overeat every meal, and don't overeat at dinner. Overeating is very harmful to your health. Dinner should be light. Try not to eat anything except water three hours before going to bed. It usually takes three hours for food to be digested and absorbed in the stomach. When people sleep, their intestines and stomach also rest. If there is a lot of food in the stomach, sleep before digestion, which will inevitably increase the burden on the stomach for a long time and cause gastroenteritis. For the sake of health, try to eat dinner as early as possible, eat less and be light, so that the stomach will not be burdened at night. The stomach is healthy and the body is worse!

Modern people are rich in material life, and many diseases are eaten. Eating too much, eating too much, and eating too much is a taboo for health. For the sake of health, we must keep our mouths shut.

Does hunger cure all diseases make sense? Someone may stand up and say this is bullshit! The result of hunger is death, how can it cure all diseases? Having said that, I can definitely say that if he is an ordinary person without any culture, it is understandable! If it comes from a professional doctor, his medical skills must be limited! Why do you say that?

(1) I remember there is such a proverb about parenting: If you want to protect your child from hunger and cold! What do you mean by that? The reason is that if you want your child to be healthy and normal, you must let him eat less, that is, seven points full! If you want a child to be healthy and normal, you should let him be frozen. Everyone knows that there is something wrong with the children in the incubator in the hospital, otherwise they wouldn't be there! This is the same as the "spring covering and autumn freezing" in our traditional health preservation! Unfortunately, today's young parents don't understand this at all. They are afraid that their children will be frozen and hungry. They wear clothes on the third floor and then feed milk powder. If they eat too much, their problems will come out. The most direct and simple thing is indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea, and the result is counterproductive! Wearing too many clothes and covering too tightly, sneezing and yawning when the wind blows, it is difficult for such children to grow up healthily!

(2) I remember reading a report that people with terminal diseases (cancer) can use "hunger" to prolong their lives, that is, hunger therapy. If you are hungry, cancer cells will be killed in batches, and your overnourished cancer cells will enter an active period, so you don't know where to move, and your life will soon end! It seems that this anti-hunger therapy is very effective! I seem to have mentioned this point in my previous answers, but unfortunately many people simply can't understand it!

(3) In reality, we often say that "the disease enters from the mouth". In fact, many people don't understand the true meaning of this sentence. It is not that many diseases are eaten by people from their mouths, but that people can't control their mouths and dare to eat anything and eat more. A few years ago, SARS was a curse caused by people's indiscriminate catching and killing of wild animals. People are animals that eat whole grains.

(4) For a person who is ill in bed, sometimes what we are most concerned about is what he is. Our biggest concern is whether he can eat with his mouth open. If he can eat and drink, he will recover soon, because people can only eat and have an appetite when they are healthy or gradually recovering. If they don't eat or drink, then lie in bed. A man who depends on medicine instead of food can't go far!

To sum up, the sentence that hunger cures all diseases is reasonable in a sense! Everyone can experience it. If you don't believe it, you will die in the end!

Can hunger cure all diseases? Today's academic debate cannot be entangled. But today's "three highs" are undoubtedly eaten by overnutrition.

Before the 1980s, before the reform and opening up, there were few "three highs" in our country, and some of them were elderly people, which was in obvious contrast with the hypertension of children in primary schools now. How can hunger cure all diseases? I was born in 1963, and I am qualified to say. Because I am a hungry person who eats two meals. For work reasons, I have developed the habit of eating two meals a day for five years. I like alcohol and tobacco. Drink two or three meals a day before the age of forty, and then control one meal at night. Smoke one or two packs a day, and love to drink green tea.

My habit is to have a full breakfast, not to eat at noon, to eat seven minutes full at about five o'clock at dinner, to drink two to three ounces of white wine, to mix meat and vegetables, and generally not to eat extra vegetables. Braised fish controls my living habits within two days.

My height is 1.79, and my current weight is 74 kg. The young man said I was only 50 years old. In good health, I haven't even caught a cold in recent 5 years, and my blood sugar and blood pressure are slightly higher. According to my experience, controlling diet during obesity can cure diseases. If the work intensity is high, you can make up at noon and adjust your weight on the basis of not being hungry. Dinner should be finished before six o'clock and rest before half past ten.

Some people say that it is a misunderstanding not to eat after noon. Not eating at night has a certain effect on sleep. Because a good sleep needs a comfortable stomach, if the stomach is hungry and can't get a good sleep quality, it will be easier to get tired and will have an impact on life and work. It is more reasonable to put hunger at noon. Reasonably, we can also relieve hunger by drinking water and tea, which also has a certain protective effect on the stomach.

Hunger can't cure everything? I dare not say anything crazy. However, moderate hunger is a big surprise for obese people with three highs. Drinking tea and maintaining a sense of semi-hunger do have a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of the current three highs.

I've talked to people in their nineties, and what they say most is hunger and cold. Those years aroused my curiosity and puzzled me. I think they often went hungry when they were children. How can they live so long and be so healthy?

Later, I began to pay attention to observation and found that some people died in their sixties. Their lives are normal, and they engage in manual labor every day. But why did you die young? Through understanding, we know that these people can eat better, and even are called "hungry ghosts" by their wives.

Several people died just after 60. They wolfed down their food, even when they were hungry in the middle of the night, and even ate seaweed when they saw meat, as if someone had robbed them, including women. When people are rich, people are gone. Does it have anything to do with whether they are hungry or not? I don't know, anyway, they are all full and no one is here.

Especially there is a woman who knows how to maintain. It is said that even during the physiological period, she doesn't touch cold water or work, but the only one who likes to eat and drink is the one who disappeared at the age of 60.

And listen to those women born after 90, when they were young, even if they gave birth to children immediately, they still cooked and washed in the house, worked in the fields for a few days after confinement, and it was not easy to eat an egg, and they were still hungry. An old lady said that ten days after giving birth, she waded across the cold river and made us cry.

However, none of these old people are sick and full, and even if they like to eat again, they are just "gentlemen's taste." Maybe we were too poor in the past, and there were too many brothers and sisters at home, all of whom helped each other with food, so we formed this habit and never stopped.

There are many elderly people in our village who are in their eighties and nineties, especially those who died in their sixties. Seriously, some people do feel that their family education is not good, but it is rare.

A good friend, who has been to many provinces to engage in cashmere, came back to chat with everyone and said that people in rural areas of a province are very strange. They live a good life, but eating is like how long they have been hungry ... people there have a short life span. For this reason, some children's marriages have been ruined. Although several children are willing, it's really sad that parents won't let their children marry there.

Although there is no scientific basis for the saying that "hunger can cure all diseases", people can't live without eating. If the whole area is a sea jam, it will make people feel isolated.
