The Importance of a Nutritious Dinner for Weight Loss and Health

February 2, 2024

 

     There are different opinions about whether not eating dinner can help with weight loss. Some people say that not eating dinner can help with weight loss because the food we eat at night just makes us gain weight since we don't need to work. Others say that not eating dinner not only does not help with weight loss, but it can also cause stomach problems. So, can not eating dinner really help with weight loss? And what are the dangers of not eating dinner? Let's take a look together.

 

     The dangers of not eating dinner:

     Long-term not eating dinner not only does not help with weight loss, but it can also cause the stomach to become flat, which can easily lead to stomach cancer and other stomach-related diseases. Therefore, I recommend that everyone have some porridge for dinner. Any kind of porridge is fine because it aids digestion and does not make you gain weight. Breakfast is important, and dinner is also very important and must be eaten well. This way, your body will be healthier. If you eat improperly, overeating or eating too late, it can cause certain damage to your health. So, what is the most nutritious dinner?

 

     What is the most nutritious dinner?

     In Chinese traditional culture, dinner is the most important meal of the day.

     Nowadays, many people have to eat out at hotels due to work reasons, and they usually eat very late and cannot eat properly.

     They often eat dinner at around eight or nine o'clock and then go to bed immediately after eating.

     This is a very unhealthy lifestyle that can easily lead to various health problems.

     Moreover, if you eat a good dinner, always eating high-fat and high-protein poultry, it is not good for your body.

     Or if you eat dinner very late, it is easy to develop chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and liver and gallbladder diseases, etc.

 

     You must eat staple food

     Staple food is essential for dinner, such as rice, noodles, etc.

     It is best to choose easily digestible congee, which is the best for the body.

     Men should eat about two to three taels of staple food for dinner, while women should eat about one to two taels, in order to meet the body's needs for calories and nutrients.

 

     Eat more carbohydrates and foods rich in fiber

     What is the most nutritious dinner? You should eat more carbohydrates or foods rich in fiber for dinner.

     For example, vegetables, whole grains, etc., which can help with intestinal peristalsis and increase the body's digestive ability.

 

     White-collar workers should eat more choline

     Choline has the function of improving memory, so it is very suitable for white-collar workers or people who use their brains a lot.

     Common foods that contain more choline include celery, spinach, seaweed, purple rice, etc.

 

     Eat less fruits, desserts, and fried foods for dinner

     Because these foods are not easy to digest and can increase the burden on the stomach and intestines.

 

     Drink less alcohol for dinner

     Drinking alcohol at night is very harmful to the body because excessive alcohol accumulation in the body can affect metabolism.

     It prevents the stomach and intestines from getting sufficient rest, which can lead to indigestion and poor sleep.

 

     Eat less high-calcium foods for dinner

     What is the most nutritious dinner? You must not eat high-calcium foods because these foods are not easy to digest at night.

     Therefore, they tend to accumulate in the body, leading to conditions such as urinary calculi. Common high-calcium foods include shrimp skin, etc.

 

     Small details for weight loss in daily life

     1. Take more baths or foot baths (soaking feet) at least three times a week to promote blood circulation and strengthen metabolism.

     2. Absolutely do not go on a random diet or use improper weight loss methods, such as "apple therapy" or "seven-day fasting." Because people with Yin-type obesity need methods that can both lose weight and nourish their bodies in order to succeed.

     3. Drink warm beverages or tea, and absolutely do not drink cold beverages. Otherwise, the chances of successful weight loss will be greatly reduced.

     4. Eat some spicy foods, such as ginger, pepper, Sichuan pepper, chili, etc. They have a great warming effect on the body and can enhance basal metabolic function.

     5. Do not eat white sugar, and replace it with brown sugar or honey. Avoid eating instant noodles and monosodium glutamate.
