The importance of dinner is often overlooked by many people, thinking that it doesn't matter what they eat for dinner. However, a healthy and reasonable dinner has a great impact on our bodies. As a healthy and nourishing dinner option, Peach Kernel and Lettuce is the best choice. So what are the benefits of eating Peach Kernel and Lettuce medicated diet for dinner?
【What are the dangers of not eating well for dinner?】
1. Obesity
According to statistics, 90% of obesity is caused by eating too much for dinner, coupled with low activity levels and low energy consumption at night. The excess calories are synthesized into fat under the action of insulin, resulting in obesity over time.
2. Hypertension
Dinner foods are often high in fat, and coupled with the slowing down of blood flow during sleep, a large amount of fat will deposit on the blood vessel walls, causing constriction of small arteries and arterioles, increasing peripheral vascular resistance, and easily causing sudden increase in blood pressure. It also accelerates the process of arteriosclerosis in small arteries throughout the body.
3. Diabetes
Traditional Chinese medicine tells us that long-term overeating for dinner stimulates the excessive secretion of insulin, which easily leads to increased burden and accelerated aging of the pancreas, and ultimately triggers diabetes. If dinner includes too much high-protein, high-fat, and high-calorie food, it will stimulate the liver to produce low-density and very-low-density lipoproteins, leading to hyperlipidemia and fatty liver.
4. Colon cancer
If you eat a full dinner and protein-rich food cannot be fully digested, it will produce toxic substances under the action of intestinal bacteria. Coupled with low activity levels, the slow intestinal peristalsis prolongs the time for toxic substances to stay in the intestines, increasing the risk of colon cancer.
