First of all, let's give you a popular science. Why eat less supper to nourish the stomach?
As the saying goes, "Eat well in the morning, eat full at noon and eat less at night". Overeating at dinner will actually increase the burden on the stomach. Not only should you sleep at night, but your stomach also needs rest. If I eat too much, drink too much and overeat when my stomach needs to rest at night, especially if I eat indigestible food (such as high fat and cholesterol and glutinous rice: glutinous rice balls, zongzi and rice cakes), my stomach must be thinking: you are a liar, you make me work overtime at night, and I still do heavy physical work. I'll tell you when my stomach goes on strike. If you really go on strike for a long time, you will really get indigestion.
Midnight snack, as its name implies, is what people eat at night. Every organ of the human body, including the gastrointestinal tract, will also go to sleep at night. If someone bothers you while you are sleeping, you must be unhappy. Then your stomach was suddenly filled with a bowl of mala Tang or mala Tang while you were sleeping. He must be unhappy.
So what are the disadvantages of eating supper often?
First, people who go to work normally during the day will increase the burden on their stomachs if they often eat supper. Because food enters the digestive tract and reaches our stomach, our stomach has to work overtime to digest these foods. No one in the world likes to work overtime without rest, especially when there is no money to earn. As mentioned earlier, long-term work will strike. Second, eating supper can lead to indigestion. Most people went to bed after dinner, and so did the leaders. If I keep my brother working overtime there, my brother will be passive, too. After sleeping, the working ability of the digestive system will be weakened, so it will cause indigestion and hurt the stomach. Going to sleep too early after eating at night, too much food in the stomach is easy to come back from the esophagus and then reflux esophagitis, acid reflux and heartburn are uncomfortable. Third, eating supper can also cause bloating, especially overeating and eating too much greasy food. If you eat it for a long time, your stomach will get bigger. When you rest at night, your stomach will be repaired. Long-term consumption is not conducive to the repair of gastrointestinal tract, and long-term consumption can easily lead to chronic gastritis.
Therefore, most experts suggest eating less or not eating supper, especially those with bad stomach. So how to eat less supper? First of all, the rule of three meals is also a commonplace topic. It is easy to have an irregular meal, and even three meals are concentrated in the evening. Anyway, it's not good, this should be easy to understand; Secondly, going to bed early is very important. Going to bed early will reduce hunger at night. If you fall asleep and your stomach falls asleep, you won't think about eating supper.
But nothing in this world is absolute: it is recommended not to eat or eat less supper, but it is not against all supper. Digestive function and gastric acid secretion decreased in some elderly people. Some people with poor stomach function need to eat less and more meals. If they are hungry at night, of course, they need proper nutrition. It is necessary to eat some food properly. In addition, people who stay up late to work overtime also need to eat some midnight snacks to supplement the energy and physical strength consumed by working overtime at night.
Then the problem is coming. How do people who often have to work overtime eat supper scientifically?
A healthy dinner can be summed up in six words: digestible and not greasy.
As for digestible food, it actually varies from person to person. For people in Fujian and Guangdong, all kinds of porridge may be easier to digest. For people in Shanxi, Gansu and Qinghai, noodles may be easier to digest. Anyway, our human stomach also has strong adaptability. From snacks to big meals, it may be easier for you to digest food, and what suits you is the best. Eating well and digesting will not bring too much burden to the stomach.
Generally speaking, we should eat less food with strong and exciting taste. My personal experience is that glutinous rice balls, moon cakes, sweet potatoes, zongzi, all kinds of rice cakes, all kinds of sweets, coffee and very sweet drinks may be eaten as little as possible. These foods are either difficult to digest or too sweet to stimulate gastric acid secretion and affect blood sugar.
Really want to be scientific, why eat less irritating food? For example, foods such as peppers contain capsaicin, which will make you more appetizing, and capsaicin will also stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa. If you eat too much at night, you can't have a good rest. Why light diet, because eating too much salt will also increase the excitability of the nervous system and increase the burden on the body and kidneys;
Another thing to note is that it is good to eat 6-8 minutes full after midnight snack, and it is best to eat 1-2 hours before going to bed, and it is best not to eat for one hour before going to bed. That is to say, don't sleep when you are full, and your boss will ask his brother to work hard when he sleeps. This is not kind.
Therefore, if you want to nourish your stomach, you'd better have three meals regularly and eat less supper. Friends who really want to eat supper must eat supper scientifically according to the above points and nourish their stomachs scientifically.
Of course, if you are in a good mood when traveling and you don't have to go to work the next day, it is allowed to go to the night market and want to eat something delicious, but you should relax. If your stomach is really not good, don't eat too much. Anyway, happiness is the most important thing
