Old people often say, "Hunger can cure all diseases without dinner". Is it true?/You don't say. "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you", which is a common saying of rural people, but it is also reasonable. Because the old man has experienced many things, both in life and work, he still believes that what the old man said is better.

Some elderly people also have their own unique understanding of diet and health. For example, the sentence "Hunger can cure all diseases without dinner" is true and reasonable?

I have a true story about the sentence "Hunger can cure all diseases without dinner".

I know an old man who is over 90 years old now. He is strong, deaf, blind and smart, and he doesn't look like a 90-year-old at all.

The old man gets up at 6 o'clock on time every day, and then walks around the village for about 5 kilometers. An hour later, the old man came back for dinner on time.

But strangely, the elderly eat two meals a day, and the first meal is around 7 am. What is the breakfast for the elderly: a bowl of millet porridge, no sugar and no salt. At noon 1 or so, the old man began to eat the second meal, which was also millet porridge, with some salt and no sugar.

But the elderly will never eat dinner, and the habit of not eating dinner has been persisted for more than 60 years. How did the old man insist on not eating for more than 60 years?

It turns out that when New China was not established, people were very poor at that time, but because of eating less and wearing less, the old people reduced themselves from three meals a day to two meals in order to get food at home, and never ate at night. Regarding the reason why the old man didn't eat, the old man said: Go to bed immediately after eating. Isn't this a waste of food?

Up to now, the living standard has improved, but the habit of the elderly eating two meals a day has not changed. Now the elderly are very healthy, and there are no common diseases such as colds. Whether it is reasonable to "starve to death without food" or other reasons, in short, the old man is now over 90 years old and very healthy.

So is it reasonable for the old man to say that "hunger can cure all diseases without dinner"? Let me say:

In terms of diet, some experienced health experts have always advocated that "eat well in the morning, eat well at noon and eat less at night" is in line with the dietary law and is the healthiest.

This is because: at the beginning of the morning work, you need some nutrition such as protein to support you, so you need to eat better. Eat a good lunch because work consumes a lot of energy, so be sure to eat enough. And this meal is not important tonight, because after dinner, you have to sleep and rest.

At this time, if you eat too much, the digestive burden of your stomach will be heavy. In the long run, it will cause some intestinal diseases. Therefore, it is better to eat less this meal at night.

The old man thinks that after noon, with the weakening of the sun's rays, the yang gradually declines, while the yin gradually rises. If people eat dinner, it will aggravate yin and be harmful to the digestion of the stomach. Therefore, "breakfast is natural food, lunch is Buddhist food, and dinner is food."

The elderly also believe that after dinner, the garbage in the stomach and intestines will accumulate, which will lead to the inability to clean up the gastrointestinal tract, which will increase the burden on some gastrointestinal tracts and cause some diseases. Therefore, the old people think that this is "eating too much" and skipping dinner is the best way to keep fit.

Therefore, no matter from now on, old people in rural areas think that eating too much rice at night is harmful to people's health.

But in modern times, some people don't know the rules of eating. Many people eat supper after work at night. Many people not only eat a lot, but also drink beer. In my opinion, this is not only harmful to health, but also increases the burden on the stomach and intestines, making the gastrointestinal peristalsis slow down, which will have an impact on the body over time.

Therefore, although it is not practical for the rural elderly to say that "if you don't eat dinner, you will be hungry and cure all diseases", it still makes sense to eat less dinner. So it's better for us to listen to what the old people in the countryside say, because listening to what the old people say will save us a lot of detours.
