The best time for dinner is around 18:00. Do not go to bed within four hours after dinner.

Some studies have shown that eating less dinner will help you sleep better. The correct dinner should be 8 minutes full, based on the feeling that you are not hungry. It is best to arrange dinner around 6 pm, and try not to exceed 9 pm. It is best not to eat any solid food after 9pm. Also, do not go to bed within four hours after dinner so that the food eaten at night can be fully digested.

If you cannot have dinner on time due to overtime work or other reasons, you should try to ensure that the interval between dinner and sleep is 2 hours. What needs to be reminded is that it is best to do activities such as running and yoga 2 hours after a meal. Because the stomach is no longer heavy at this time, it does not have a great impact on digestion, and it is easier to exercise.

Dangers of dinner

1. Impact on sleep

The gastrointestinal tract is forced to "work overtime", which directly affects sleep and makes it difficult to fall asleep. Or problems such as excessive dreams, shallow sleep or even insomnia can make people listless over time, and even lead to memory loss, neurasthenia, etc.

2. High incidence of stone disease

4 to 5 hours after a meal is the peak period of calcium excretion by the human body. If dinner is eaten too late, people will have already fallen asleep when the peak of calcium excretion arrives. If urine cannot be excreted in time, a large amount of calcium in the urine will be deposited, which may form kidney, ureter, bladder and urethra stones over time.

3. Emotional loss of control

Hunger can easily make people lose control of their emotions, lose patience, become irritable when encountering problems, and make them uncontrollably want to quarrel or reprimand others. Surveys show that the phenomenon of "road rage" is closely related to hunger and hypoglycemia caused by eating too late.

4. Accident-prone

Eating too late often means being hungry for too long. Failure to eat in time may lead to hypoglycemia, which will greatly damage brain function and make people pay attention. Lack of concentration can lead to mistakes, accidents, and even car accidents.
