Skip dinner and use hunger to cure all diseases. Is this really true? Is this good or bad for the body?
As the saying goes, people are like iron and rice is like steel. Three meals a day are the main source of nutrition for our body. People often say that breakfast should be good, lunch should be full, and dinner should be small. However, for the vast majority of people, they can choose to eat or not eat at night, and some people still insist that if they skip dinner, it will be more beneficial to the body. Some even think that skipping dinner will have more benefits. Dinner can cure all diseases, is it true?
It is unknown whether it can cure all diseases, but if you don’t eat dinner, your body will face these four consequences...
First: Damage to the stomach
As mentioned earlier, it only takes about 4-6 hours after lunch to damage the stomach. It will be emptied. If you do not eat normally when you are supposed to have dinner, the gastric acid secreted by the stomach will directly irritate the gastric mucosa. At this time, the risk of gastric diseases such as gastritis , gastric ulcer , and gastroesophageal reflux disease will also be higher.
Second: Malnutrition in the body
People can get enough nutrients from three normal meals a day, and can therefore provide nutrients for the organs in the human body. However, after skipping dinner or skipping staple food for dinner, the nutrients absorbed by the human body will also be reduced. You may not see any problems in a short period of time, but over time, it may more easily induce malnutrition and other problems. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people and adolescent children, the gains outweigh the losses.
Third: It is easier to gain weight
If we often skip dinner, it may cause insufficient energy intake and lack of nutrients in the body. Then the body's metabolic rate will gradually decrease, resulting in fat loss and weight loss. Especially for growing children, pregnant women and manual workers, skipping dinner is very harmful. Some people lose weight by skipping dinner. Although the weight may be slightly reduced in the short term, once dinner is resumed, the weight will easily rebound, which is not good for health.
Fourth: Inducing hypoglycemia
Not eating at dinner time or eating staple food may cause hypoglycemia in the human body, causing the body to feel cold, sweating, and may also cause dizziness and dizziness. Of course, forcing yourself not to eat even when you are very hungry will also make you uncomfortable sleeping, making it difficult to fall asleep and resulting in poor sleep quality.
It can be seen that skipping dinner or skipping staple food for dinner is not advisable behavior. The so-called skipping dinner and being hungry can cure all diseases is just a folk saying and has no scientific basis. If you try blindly, you will only harm your body.
The reason why there is a saying that "if you don't eat dinner, you can cure all diseases by starving", it is actually related to the lifestyle of modern society. With the improvement of living standards, people are high in oil, fat, sugar and salt all day long, and their caloric intake exceeds the standard. , people are experiencing "overnutrition" again. The incidence of metabolic syndromes such as obesity, hypertension , hyperlipidemia, diabetes and hyperuricemia is increasing, which are inseparable from bad eating habits. . Therefore, many people feel that "being hungry" is better for health than eating well. How do you understand it?
