Will not eating after noon cause stomach problems? How long will not eating after noon take effect?

Not eating after noon means not eating after lunch until the next morning. If you do this for a long time, will you get stomach problems? How long does it take to see the effect of not eating after noon?

If you do not eat after lunch, your stomach will remain empty. After the food in the stomach is digested, the digestive juices secreted by the stomach will corrode the stomach wall. In the long run, the spleen and stomach will be seriously damaged, which can easily lead to gastric ulcers and damage the gastrointestinal function.

The ancients believed that not eating after noon was the secret to longevity and health preservation, and that overeating at night could easily lead to illness. The Song Dynasty people's "Secrets to Longevity" had the following jingle: "Don't cover your head when sleeping at night, and eat a small bite of dinner." If you eat dinner between 5 and 7 p.m., the kidney meridian will be blocked, unable to turn back and raise the fire of the life gate, forming dirty essence and encouraging lust. Then from 7 to 9 p.m., the pericardium meridian that stores the eighth consciousness will be blocked, and the evil spirits around the heart will be unable to be cleared. Over time, the heart that is right inside cannot be the master, and the brain's thinking is controlled by the evil spirits in the pericardium. Then from 9 to 11 p.m., the triple burner and hundreds of meridians will be blocked. From 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., the gallbladder and liver are burdened, and the detoxification and blood exchange functions are reduced, affecting sleep in severe cases. In the early morning of the next day, the yang energy is not easy to rise at Yin time. At Mao time, the turbid matter accumulated in the intestines is difficult to eliminate, forming toxins in the body and entering the blood and internal organs. At Chen and Si time, the best nutrition absorption stage, you will not want to eat, forming a vicious circle. At noon, the heart is burdened, and the interaction between yin and yang is unfavorable.

Not eating after noon works very quickly. You will be able to keep your mind clear on the same day. After three days, you will be able to have a clear mind and few desires. Your body and mind will feel light and clear. If you persist in it for a long time, the benefits will be even greater.

People usually eat porridge in the morning and lunch at noon (lunch time is 12:20-1:00), and do not eat after noon.

There is disagreement on this statement.

Not eating after noon is a saying put forward by the ancient Chinese, but the ancients had very few nighttime activities and worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. It can be imagined that they only had a few hours after "noon".

According to the current 24-hour system, the sunrise time is about 4:00-6:00 (the sunrise time varies throughout the year), and the sunset time is about (18:00-20:00). From the time after noon, it is the same as our modern dinner time of 18:00 and going to bed at 24:00, so for the ancients, not eating after noon has a certain health-preserving reason.

But for modern people, whether it is for health preservation or weight loss, not eating after noon is not a very good method.

Keeping healthy and losing weight both require a balanced diet, controlling calories, and not going hungry. However, for modern people, skipping meals after noon may result in insufficient calories, unbalanced nutrition, and insufficient intake.

You can eat less at night and eat more vegetables, but never skip them.

1. Control calories and fat. Always be careful about the calories in your food, reduce the amount of fat in your diet, and increase the amount of fish and poultry.

2. Eat a light diet. Eat less salt. The more salty food you eat, the more you want to eat. Eat less processed food with sauces, which are rich in sugar, salt and flour, which will increase your calories.

3. Eat fruits and vegetables regularly. Eat some fiber-rich fruits, vegetables and whole-wheat bread in moderation.

4. Balanced diet. Arrange your diet in a balanced way according to the plan every day. At the same time, pay attention to the timing and do not eat excessively. Slow down the time of eating, and eat a meal for no less than 20 minutes.

5. Negative calorie balance. The principle of weight loss is: the calorie intake must be less than your consumption.

6. Willpower determines the effectiveness and quality of weight loss.
