Whether it is possible to eat after 6, and if it is impossible, why, on this problem enough often reflect not only losing weight, but also people who simply watch their health. And, like any theory, the statement that late dinners is not very useful, has, like the ardent supporters, and those who fundamentally disagree with this. Let's figure out why it's harmful to eat after 6.
Do not eat after 6, what's the use?
According to the adherents of the theory of biorhythms, with the sunset, the metabolism slows down, so the food we took after sunset is not digested qualitatively, turns into slags that clog up the body. And all the received energy is not spent by us, passing directly to the fat stores, and settles there by the hateful fat. This is a fairly controversial theory, however, rational reasons why it is worth keeping to the rule is not after six, nevertheless there are:
- at night a full stomach can press on the diaphragm, and interfere with normal breathing, which affects the quality of night rest not for the better;
- during sleep, the stomach and digestive organs work less intensively than during the day, and food eaten at night, will stay in them for a longer period, and this provokes putrefactive processes in the intestines, and as a result, problems with the organs of the gastrointestinal tract;
- again, if food is delayed for a long time in the stomach, its mucosa is exposed to too long exposure to hydrochloric acid, which increases the risk of gastritis and stomach ulcers.
And yet, it's no secret that many of us in the morning, if they have breakfast, do it purely symbolically, at lunch, which most often happens at work (if at all), also do not eat too much. But in the evening ... Here and super-dense dinner (we did not eat all day), and pechenyushki, nuts, kirieshki in front of the TV. So it turns out that for the evening we type not that a daily, but a three-day rate of calories.
In this case, the recipe is only one - to put in order your diet. You should have 3 main meals, and 3 snacks between them. Dinner, it's really better to arrange at 6 pm, if you go to bed at 21: 00-22: 00. If it is not, then remember: the last meal should be 4 hours before bedtime.
But for those who firmly decided to adhere to the rule, not a piece is not a field 6-a few tips how to do it:
- If you want to eat, drink. First, water will fill the stomach, and secondly, the centers that are responsible for thirst and hunger in our brains are located nearby, and we often confuse their signals.
- Do something interesting, watch a movie, read a book, go for a walk.
- After dinner, immediately brush your teeth, this will help to get adjusted psychologically to prepare for bed.
- Lie down to sleep early.
