1. How to eat dinner healthily
First, eat early for dinner to avoid stones.
Eating dinner early is a good health care policy recommended by medical experts. Studies have shown that eating early at dinner can greatly reduce the incidence of urinary calculi.
The peak of calcium excretion is usually 4-5 hours after eating. If you eat dinner too late, when the peak of calcium excretion comes, people have gone to bed and fallen asleep, and urine will remain in the urinary tract such as ureter, bladder, urethra, etc., which will not be excreted in time, resulting in an increasing calcium content in urine and easy deposition to form small crystals. Over time, it will gradually expand and form stones. So it is more appropriate to have dinner around 6 pm.
Second, eat vegetarian food for dinner to prevent cancer.
Dinner must be vegetarian, mainly with carbohydrate-rich foods, and protein and fat should be eaten as little as possible. If you eat too much fat, your blood lipids will increase. Research data show that people who often eat meat for dinner have 2-3 times higher blood lipids than vegetarians. Carbohydrate can produce more serotonin in the human body, which plays a role in calming the nerves and is especially beneficial to insomnia.
But in real life, because most families have enough time to prepare dinner and eat a lot, it is not good for health. According to scientific research reports, eating a lot of high-protein foods such as meat, eggs and milk at dinner will increase the amount of calcium in urine, on the one hand, it will reduce the storage of calcium in the body and induce rickets in children, myopia in adolescents and osteoporosis in other years; On the other hand, the high concentration of calcium in urine will greatly increase the possibility of urinary calculi. In addition, if protein is ingested too much, it will stay in the intestine if it is not absorbed by the human body, and it will deteriorate to produce toxic substances such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, which will stimulate the intestinal wall and induce cancer.
Third, eat less dinner and sleep well.
Compared with breakfast and Chinese food, dinner should be eaten less or later in the evening when there are no other activities. Eating too much at dinner will cause cholesterol to rise, stimulate the liver to produce more low-density and very low-density lipoproteins, and induce arteriosclerosis. Long-term overeating at dinner repeatedly stimulates a large amount of insulin secretion, which often leads to premature failure of insulin β cells, thus laying the bane of diabetes.
In addition, overeating at dinner will swell the stomach and oppress the surrounding organs. After meals, the intense work of the stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other organs will send information to the brain, which will make the brain active and spread to other parts of the cerebral cortex, causing insomnia.
2. What should I not eat at night?
1, eating ginger at night is equal to eating arsenic.
The ancients said, "It is better to eat ginseng chicken soup than ginger in the morning;" Eating ginger at night is equivalent to eating arsenic (eating ginger in the morning is beneficial and eating ginger at night is harmful). " Ginger is pungent and warm, containing volatile oil, gingerol, resin and starch. Ginger can enhance and accelerate blood circulation, stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, excite the stomach, promote digestion, and have antibacterial effect. Eating some ginger in the morning is good for your health. But at night, because ginger is hot, it will make people get angry and hurt their health, so it is not suitable for eating.
Ginger, containing volatile oil, can accelerate blood circulation; At the same time, it contains gingerol, which has the functions of stimulating gastric juice secretion, exciting intestines and promoting digestion; Ginger also contains gingerol, which can reduce the occurrence of gallstones. Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages, so the folk left the saying that "go to bed to eat radish, get out of bed to eat ginger", indicating that ginger can be eaten, but not much. Especially in autumn, it is best not to eat it, because the climate in autumn is dry and dry, which hurts the lungs. In addition, eating spicy ginger is more likely to hurt the lungs and aggravate the dehydration and dryness of the human body. Such a "warning" also appeared in ancient medical books: "Don't eat ginger in autumn within one year; Don't eat ginger at night for one day. " It seems reasonable not to eat or eat less spicy food such as ginger in autumn, which has long attracted the attention of the ancients.
2, greasy food should be rejected.
Oily foods include not only fried foods, but also some animal offal with high cholesterol content. These foods will increase the workload of the intestine, stomach, liver, gallbladder and pancreas and stimulate the nerve center; Affect the quality of sleep. Moreover, people with three highs should be strictly controlled.
3, it is not appropriate to eat "flatulence food" at night.
Some foods produce a lot of gas during digestion, which leads to flatulence. Such as beans, Chinese cabbage, onions, corn, bananas and so on. Excessive abdominal distension is not only uncomfortable for the stomach, but also affects sleep. So try to avoid eating this kind of food at night.
4. Eating high-calcium food at night leads to stones.
Eating at night is also not suitable for eating foods with high calcium content, such as shrimp skin and cartilaginous fish. Because the five internal organs are at rest at night, calcium in high-calcium food is easy to decompose and accumulate in the kidneys and urethra, causing stones.
5, liver fire, it is not appropriate to drink milk at night.
Drinking milk at night will make the liver fire strong, which is not conducive to detoxification at night, and it will make people feel thirsty. It is not conducive to sleep if they want to get up in the middle of the night to drink water. Moreover, milk itself is an allergen, and drinking milk at night can easily lead to indigestion and other problems.
6. Dessert after meals is taboo.
Many people like to eat dessert after a meal, which feels like a complete meal, but things that are too sweet and greasy can easily burden the digestion of the stomach. On the other hand, the sugar in dessert is difficult to decompose under rest, and then it will be converted into fat, which is easy to cause obesity. In the long run, it may also lead to cardiovascular diseases.
