What time do you usually eat your dinner? 6pm? 7pm? Or 8 o’clock? Recently, a Turkish study showed that eating two hours before bedtime, or after 7 p.m., can lead to a high incidence of heart attacks and brain attacks. Researchers tracked 721 hypertensive patients with an average age of 53, and found that those who ate after 7 p.m., or within two hours before bedtime, the possibility of blood pressure not dropping at night and remaining high is 2.8 times that of those who do not eat. The Daily Mail quoted researchers as saying that people with high blood pressure are already at high risk of heart disease, and if their blood pressure does not drop at night, the risk of heart attack or stroke will be much higher. This study, if translated in layman’s terms, means that if you eat dinner late, you will have a higher risk of heart attack and brain attack! It even increases the risk of cancer! Therefore, it is best to fix dinner before 7 pm! The ancients knew more about health than we do. In “Mozi – Miscellaneous Shou”, it is written that the ancients ate only two meals a day and did not eat indiscriminately at night. The first meal is called “morning meal”, which is what we call breakfast. The second meal is called “food” or “food”, and is eaten at the time of Shen (around 4 p.m.). And Chinese medicine: “no food after noon”. The so-called “noon” is 11:00-13:00, after 13:00 can no longer eat. In fact, this is also to prevent dinner eat too much, too much support, to bring the body burden and disease. However, now that people go to bed significantly later than in ancient times, we also need more food and energy, but it is advocated that it is best to settle dinner before 7 p.m. to avoid eating dinner too late to bring diseases to the body! In addition to heart attacks and brain attacks found by researchers, these diseases are also related to eating dinner too late 1, gastric disease The human stomach mucosa is very delicate, the gastric mucosa during the day must be quality and quantity to complete the task of digestion of the diet, and the task of renewal of the gastric mucosa is arranged at night when the body rest state. People who eat dinner too late, the stomach must also follow the night shift. The fatigue of the stomach, coupled with the aging mucosa is not updated in a timely manner, over time, there is a gastric disease! 2, atherosclerosis dinner eaten too late will also cause high blood lipids, coupled with the person to sleep after the blood flow rate and significantly reduced, resulting in the continuous deposition of blood lipids on the walls of blood vessels. In the long run, the risk factor of forming atherosclerosis naturally increases. 3, obesity after eating dinner is a long night, human activity is very little, and because in this time is mainly sleep, so the consumption of energy at least. If you eat dinner too late, it will make the night blood sugar, fat, amino acid content increased, and converted into their own fat, deposited in various parts of the body, over time, make people fat. 4, intestine, cancer dinner eaten too late to be fully digested, the residual protein in the role of intestinal bacteria will produce toxic substances, and because the peristalsis of the intestine is very slow during sleep, so that these toxins in the intestine to stay longer, in its long-term stimulation, can induce chronic enteritis and intestinal cancer. 5, coronary heart disease late dinner, the liver will turn excess heat into cholesterol, resulting in higher levels of cholesterol in the blood, and gradually accumulate on the walls of the blood vessels, resulting in atherosclerosis, to a certain extent, will develop into coronary heart disease. At the same time, the blood is concentrated in the gastrointestinal tract to help digestion and absorption and make the heart relatively insufficient blood supply, easily lead to angina attacks. 6, diabetes dinner eaten too late, will stimulate insulin secretion, resulting in the secretion of insulin B cells overload. If it is a long-term continuous overload secretion, especially the middle-aged and elderly, it will induce diabetes due to B-cell failure. 7, acute pancreatitis dinner eaten too late, more likely to induce acute pancreatitis. The performance is epigastric pain, paroxysmal intensification, and can radiate to the left waist, left shoulder and left arm, but also often accompanied by malignant, vomiting, if not rescued in time, can be life-threatening. Some people will have a sudden onset of acute pancreatitis and shock in their sleep, because no one knows that the onset of the disease and not rescued, or even death. 8, metabolic disorders eaten too late will lead to metabolic disorders, so that you often feel weak, dizzy, memory loss, thinking ability is reduced, but also due to lower immunity and susceptible to colds, skin boils, wounds do not heal over time. 9, gastroesophageal reflux dinner eaten too late can also cause GERD. People lying down, the food in the stomach is easy to return to the esophagus, mouth, reflux of food from the stomach is acidic, stimulating the esophagus, resulting in GERD and even reflux gastritis; some older people, food will even reflux from the stomach to the airway, throat, causing a variety of diseases. 10, triggering depression at night is the weakest time of the day immunity, not suitable for too tired, two hours before bedtime is not too brainy. However, eating too much dinner will seriously damage the body, the body has been in a working state, insomnia at bedtime, poor mental state during the day, it is easy to trigger depression symptoms. It’s scary to see that eating too much dinner can cause so many diseases! If the time is too late, would rather starve than eat dinner. But if it is too late to eat dinner, really “hungry” ah! So the question is, after 7 o’clock, how to eat dinner? After 7:00, how to eat dinner? 1, eat only five minutes full After 7:00, the gastrointestinal digestion of the prime time has passed, gastric juices reduced, gastric power becomes poor, this time “supplemental” dinner, to eat less than normal dinner, it is best to eat only half of the normal dinner, that is, five minutes full. This feeling is “just eat to cool”, we must put down the chopsticks to stop mouth. 2, more vegetables and coarse grains as the main If you eat dinner too late, do not eat large fish and meat, these fats and proteins will increase the burden on the body, and even when you are asleep, the body is still helping you digest these remnants of food, will undoubtedly lead to high blood fat, high blood pressure and other diseases. Therefore, it is best to eat dinner at this time is to eat a little vegetables + coarse grains. This combination will not aggravate the body burden at all, and a large amount of dietary fiber can accelerate the residence time of food in the intestine to avoid the occurrence of intestinal cancer. 3.Eat slower than normal dinner Because it is already very late, eating slower can chew the food more, which is more conducive to intestinal digestion. At the same time, it also gives the body a reaction time, so that the body can experience the feeling of 5 minutes full. At the same time, it is best not to “watch videos while eating, eating and talking”, which most affects the digestion, will certainly increase the burden on the stomach. 4, it is too late to eat again If it is too late, such as already 9 or 10 pm, immediately to bed, it is best not to “eat” again. At this time, the best way is to drink a glass of hot milk + a small handful of nuts. Hot milk can better help sleep, nuts can increase a certain sense of satiety, and will not bring the burden on the body.
