Three meals a day is something we must do every day, simply put, it's eating, eating, eating... But eating poorly can lead to serious problems. Do you know those dietary taboos? Do you know why your body is so weak? Today, the editor will share with you how to have a scientific dinner? What are the taboos?
First Taboo: Eating dinner too late, leading to gallstones
Sanjiu Health Hall states: The peak time for calcium excretion in the human body is often 4 to 5 hours after a meal. If you eat too late, you are already in bed. Urine accumulates in the ureter, urethra, and bladder. Because it cannot be excreted from the body in time, it is easy to precipitate and form small crystals, which over time will turn into various stones, thus affecting your health.
Second Taboo: Eating dinner too rich in meat, leading to various cancers
With the great improvement in the quality of life, modern people like to make dinner very rich, which is actually very unhealthy for health. If you consume too much protein at night, it will lead to an increase in calcium in the urine. On one hand, this affects the reduction of calcium storage in the body, inducing rickets in children, myopia in adolescents, and osteoporosis in the middle-aged and elderly. On the other hand, because too much protein is consumed, the human body cannot absorb it all, and it will also remain in the intestines, spoil, and produce toxic substances such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, which in turn induce cancer.
Finally, consuming too much fat will increase blood lipids. Research data shows that people who often eat meat for dinner have 2 to 3 times higher blood lipids than those who eat a vegetarian diet.
Third Taboo: Eating dinner too full, inducing diabetes
If you eat too much for dinner, it will cause cholesterol levels to rise, stimulating the liver to produce more low-density and very-low-density lipoproteins, thus inducing arteriosclerosis. Long-term overeating for dinner will repeatedly stimulate the large secretion of insulin, leading to premature failure of insulin cells, thus inducing diabetes.
At the same time, eating too much at night will cause the stomach and intestines to swell and squeeze the surrounding organs. Because the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and intestines need to work, they will send signals to stimulate the brain to be active, making it difficult to fall asleep, thus inducing insomnia.
In response to the three taboos of dinner, Sanjiu Health Hall proposes a three-character mantra for dinner: early, light, and simple.
Early, as the name implies, means eating dinner early, preferably 3 to 4 hours before going to sleep, so as not to affect sleep. Otherwise, eating too late can easily lead to diseases such as gallstones.
Light, as the name implies, means low-calorie, which means eating less. If the daily energy intake is 10 parts, then breakfast and lunch are each 4, and dinner is 2.
Simple, means low-salt and low-fat. Sanjiu Health Hall recommends that the best daily fat intake for a person is 20-25 grams, otherwise it will cause high blood lipids. Due to our unreasonable dinner structure, many people in our country have developed problems such as high blood lipids, being overweight, and obesity.
If we want our lives to be healthier, we should best follow the three-character mantra for dinner: "early, light, and simple." Only in this way will we live happier and healthier.
