There is no scientific basis!

There is no magic pill in the world that can cure all diseases. There is no food that is good for everyone. Of course, there is no one method that can cure all diseases. Don’t be fooled anymore. Lied.

It is said that "hungry" is really good for some diseases. Of course, "hungry" here mainly refers to controlling total energy intake, mainly for diabetes, hypertension, Fatty liver, obesity, gout, dyslipidemia, gastroesophageal reflux, etc. are mostly metabolic diseases.

For patients with diarrhea, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, etc., they need to gain weight. So don’t lose weight blindly or be “hungry”.

Currently, the more popular methods for starvation on the market include 5+2 light fasting and inedia. In fact, the simplest, easiest to implement, and easiest to adhere to is to adjust our usual dietary intake. Specific methods:

This method of controlling total energy is more suitable for short-term implementation. If you want to persist for a long time, it needs to be carried out under the guidance of a professional nutritionist or doctor to avoid malnutrition.

First of all, this sentence itself has no scientific basis. If starvation can cure all diseases, then why use a hospital? What to use a nutritionist for? Aren’t they all salty?

Compare the average life span of people in the past, when they were short of food and clothing (having to starve), and then compare it with the average life span of modern people. I think most people have it in mind.

Hunger itself is damage to the body

The normal operation of human body functions requires the simultaneous action of a variety of nutrients. If you are hungry, these nutrients are not available. The body is damaged, and if you are damaged like this for a long time, you will definitely be a representative of a short life.

There is a saying that regular starvation promotes health

In modern medicine, there is a theory that proper use of the damage caused by starvation to the body can play a role in exercising the organs. (similar to our extreme sports).

This study has been carried out in many population experiments. The experiments found that for some healthy people, starving on certain days of the week or starving on certain days in a period The method of starvation and the method of some children are stimulating for healthy people and do play a certain role in exercise. But for people, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, the act of starving puts a huge burden on the body, does not have the effect of exercise, and instead aggravates the condition.

Therefore, if you want to improve your body through starvation, it is feasible in the hands of professionals. It is not suitable for everyone, especially people with physical problems.

Hungry is actually harmful to the body. Many young women often skip meals in order to lose weight. Over time, they become hungry. My eyes are blurred, I feel dizzy, my four muscles are weak, and I have anemia. Isn’t this worth the gain? Everyone knows that if you don’t eat a meal, you will feel hungry. You will be listless at work, top-heavy and tired, and sometimes you will sweat. Don’t say that hunger can cure all diseases. If you are asked to report to the Lord of Hell early, you will never be able to do it. Sick.

In fact, there is no scientific basis for saying that hunger can cure all diseases. Hungry cannot solve problems and is a lie. Three meals a day are necessary, and life should be regular and moderate. Nutritionally balanced, it doesn’t matter if you eat less. But if you skip a meal, you are irresponsible for your body. People are just like machines. If any parts are damaged, they will no longer be as original as repairs. Long-term wear and tear will lead to endless troubles.

People often say: Many diseases are caused by food. This is true. Controlling your diet is a hundred times better than starving yourself. People with three highs often have no sense of self-protection and eat it. Whether it is good wine, good food, or simple meals, you must not overeat. From a medical point of view, if you are 30% hungry and 70% full, you will live longer and have fewer diseases. But you must not think that "hunger cures all diseases" means not eating a few meals. You are not a fairy. You should ensure that three meals a day are functioning normally and take proper care. Diseases can be reduced a lot. To say that all diseases can be cured is Hua Tuo's reincarnation. , there is nothing you can do about it haha.

There is no exact scientific basis for the so-called "hunger cures all diseases", but this statement has its origin. Because modern people's living conditions have improved, many people have developed the eating habit of eating and drinking. Overeating for a long time can lead to diabetes, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, and high uric acid! There are also people with weak spleen and stomach who will feel uncomfortable if they eat too much. It is beneficial to go hungry properly.

Uncontrolled diet can cause many chronic diseases. There is scientific evidence for this, but it is indeed an exaggeration to say that "hunger cures all diseases". Especially those who claim on major media platforms that "if you don't eat dinner, starvation will cure all diseases", they are suspected of misleading people. The traditional Chinese medicine teaching about not eating after noon did make sense in ancient times, but it is different today.

Modern people have a busy life and rich night life. Skipping dinner will lead to insufficient energy supply and the body cannot bear it at all. The so-called saying "you will not be hungry until you are hungry" is actually harmful to the body. People who skip dinner are prone to constipation and are more likely to have gastrointestinal problems. It is not uncommon for gastric ulcers to occur due to skipping dinner.

For those who are accustomed to eating well and are overweight, it is indeed beneficial to go hungry appropriately and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. But if you have a normal figure, don't torment yourself.

Eat 70% full and always leave 30% hungry in your belly.

Hungry cures all diseases. This is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine.

However, the word "hungry" here is based on specific situational conditions. Hungry cannot be used to treat diseases at any time, and the original meaning of "hungry cures all diseases" cannot be casually misinterpreted.

Furthermore, hunger can cure all diseases is a relatively general and exaggerated statement. It just means that "hunger" can be used to deal with many situations, but it does not work all the time.

Specifically, being 70% full and 30% hungry is the most beneficial to health, and is the true "hunger cures all diseases".

So, under what circumstances can it be good to be "hungry"?

1. Frequent stomach discomfort

Many Chinese people suffer from stomach diseases, and most stomach diseases are caused by eating too much.

Eating too much for a long time will cause the stomach to become bulging, which will damage the gastric mucosa and ultimately affect gastrointestinal health. For example, the very common chronic gastritis has a high incidence in our country.

If you don’t want to make your stomach uncomfortable, you should be hungry frequently, but you can’t skip eating completely. Skipping breakfast and dinner is also harmful to the stomach and intestines, and it is not worth advocating.

The best way is to eat less and lightly. Don’t eat completely full at every meal. It’s best to leave some food behind.

Therefore, it is correct to eat less when eating. When you feel full but can still eat, you should stop immediately and do not continue eating.

Don’t eat very full. If you always leave some space in your stomach, it will allow the stomach to digest more quickly and reduce the pressure on the stomach. This will allow the stomach to work more easily and maintain a healthy state.

2. Waking up in the middle of the night and feeling hungry

There is something more painful than being hungry in the world, and that is being hungry in the middle of the night.

According to convention, when people sleep in the middle of the night, most of the internal organs begin to repair, and the stomach begins to secrete more gastric acid to digest food. This is why people feel extra special when they wake up in the middle of the night. Reason for being hungry.

If you wake up in the middle of the night and eat hungry, you will naturally feel full, but at the same time, a large amount of energy will be produced, making the body in an excited state again, and the stomach will continue to work. Even if you do not suffer from insomnia, it will cause harm. Body.

Moreover, many people nowadays suffer from insomnia, which has almost become a universal pain. Many insomnias come from eating too much.

Insomnia is mainly caused by neurasthenia, and most people with insomnia also have problems such as being anxious and easily waking up in the middle of the night. If you eat too much before going to bed, insomnia will be aggravated.

Therefore, don’t eat too much before going to bed. Stop eating when you are seven to eighty percent full, which can make your stomach and intestines more relaxed and your nerves in a relaxed state, which is helpful for sleep and health.

3. The problem of obesity

There is a saying that "obesity causes all kinds of diseases". Fat people are indeed more likely to get diseases and are more unhealthy. Modern people's pursuit of a slim and well-proportioned figure is not Not only for good looks, but also for health.

There is no need to explain this. The most obvious consequence of eating too much often is obesity. Especially many people like to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods, which makes it easier to gain weight.

People need to absorb energy and nutrients through food, but if they eat too much, these energy and nutrients will accumulate in the body and become obese.

After gaining weight, not only will it become unsightly, but too much fat will be a huge burden on the internal organs and the body, which will lead to a series of complications, such as the most typical Yes, it’s the three-high problem.

Some people do not gain weight no matter how much they eat, but in fact this is a more troublesome problem, because it may be that the body has other hidden diseases that prevent effective absorption of nutrients.

If you feel that you are not getting fat no matter how much you eat, then you overeat. Although it looks fine on the surface, in fact, your gastrointestinal organs will still be damaged, and this type of people will not be able to grow because of their inability to gain weight. If you are fat and have no scruples at all, the damage will usually be greater.

Therefore, if you don’t want to gain too much weight and want to lose weight, it’s best to keep your mouth shut and not eat too much.

4. Containment of tumors

There has long been a saying of "starving cancer cells to death". Of course, this is unreliable. If cancer cells can rely on starvation, If you want treatment, then why do you need a hospital?

However, this statement still has some basis within a certain range, but some people have exaggerated it.

Usually, the spread of cancer cells requires competition with normal cells in the human body for nutrients. If you eat less, it will indeed help inhibit the spread of cancer cells, but at the same time, you will also There are side effects of nutritional deficiencies.

For those who are obese and overnourished, they can indeed balance the nutrient supply in the body by eating less and being hungry for a while, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting cancer cells.

Eating too much is also closely related to gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc. Eating less and staying hungry is also very effective in preventing certain cancers.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that hunger can cure all diseases, it is not completely unreasonable

In the "Huangdi Neijing", there is a sentence called "eating and drinking in moderation". It is believed that excessive use of the five tastes will cause damage. The five internal organs easily dissipate the vitality that sustains life.

If you want to stay healthy and live a long life, it is also necessary to be "hungry".

Of course, I’m not telling you to stop eating at all, but I’m just saying don’t eat too much.

Japan has maintained its status as the longest-living country in the world for many years. The average life expectancy of its men and women has ranked first in the world for decades in a row. Japan’s eating habits also advocate eating until you are seven to eight minutes full. , cannot eat completely full.

Overeating will lead to numerous diseases. Eating too much for a long time will not only overload the digestive system for a long time, which will lead to premature aging of organs and all-round weakening of immune function, but too many calories will also Causes fat accumulation, thus bringing about a series of diseases.

More than 150 diseases, such as heart disease, stomach problems, diabetes, and osteoporosis, are closely related to overeating.

Therefore, if you want to be healthy, you must keep your mouth shut and always maintain a state of "three-point hunger". As for "seven-cent full", it means that when you eat, you feel that you are no longer hungry. And when you can continue to eat, you have to stop.

I am happy to answer this question.

The saying "hunger cures all diseases" currently circulating on the Internet has caused many people to have ambiguities about the eating habits of three meals a day. In order to "preserve health", many people endure hunger and skip dinner. But can skipping dinner really maintain health and cure all diseases? We should have the benefit of the doubt. When it comes to "hunger cures all diseases", it is better to say that this is hunger therapy.

The most typical example of starvation therapy is Chapter 53 of "A Dream of Red Mansions": Baoyu's personal maid Qingwen nearly recovered from a cold, but later became more and more seriously ill due to fatigue from patching the bird's fur. But it is recorded in the book: "I was hungry for two or three days, and I took medicine carefully to nurse myself back to health. Now, even though I have been working a little bit longer, and I trained twice as hard for a few days, I gradually got better." But if you have a cold, you can be "starved" for just two or three days. Okay?

Not taking medicine for minor illnesses was the ancient way to maintain health. However, the so-called hunger therapy does not mean not eating a drop of rice, but drinking some rice porridge appropriately. When suffering from a common cold, you can take appropriate hunger therapy and drink more white rice porridge. In summer, you can add mung beans and coix kernels to the porridge. In winter, you can add more glutinous rice. Middle-aged and elderly people can add some red dates and yams. For gastrointestinal colds, which are characterized by aversion to greasy food and diarrhea, you can make soup with white radish and salt to help digestion.

However, it is currently believed that deliberately starving for two or three days can cure a cold. There is no theoretical basis for this statement. This kind of "self-healing" often occurs in people with strong immune function, but does not apply to people with weak immunity. Whether it is a cold or other diseases, recovery does not depend on "hungry". It requires active treatment, while maintaining a good appetite and enhancing one's own resistance, in order to restore health as soon as possible. When it comes to hunger therapy, we have to talk about "Inescaping and Keeping Healthy"

Inescaping and keeping in good health does not actually mean simply not eating, or simply being hungry, but a professional practice related to Qigong , it needs to be guided and practiced by a dedicated person, and it is best not for the general public to try it easily. Many people who lose weight advocate not eating after lunch, or fasting, in order to achieve the purpose of health preservation or weight loss.

But this approach is actually not very encouraged. Intentional hunger is harmful to health. Although it is popular to lose weight or fast on weekends, there is no medical basis. Fasting is usually used for patients after overeating. A short fast is used to restore spleen and stomach function. However, many women who diet excessively will suffer from anemia, irregular menstruation, osteoporosis, gastroptosis, and memory loss. Therefore, people who lose weight do not advocate fasting. Instead, they should advocate a scientific diet combined with appropriate exercise to lose weight step by step.

I believe that "hunger cures all diseases" has a scientific basis. If the gastrointestinal tract does not feel hungry all day long, it will cause the gastrointestinal tract to be overworked. Appropriate hunger can allow the gastrointestinal tract to rest properly, and the gastrointestinal tract can repair itself during the rest process. Perhaps many people misunderstand that "hunger cures all diseases" means that not eating can cure all diseases. We should let it feel a little hungry between meals. Don't eat as soon as you feel hungry. This is not conducive to the health of the gastrointestinal tract. If you eat as soon as you feel hungry, your intestines and stomach will be working all the time and you will not get any rest. Appropriate hunger should be maintained between meals, so that the stomach and intestines can have a short rest. This is the same as our lunch break. A short lunch break can make us energetic in the afternoon.

It is not advisable to overeat at each meal, let alone at dinner. Overeating is extremely harmful to the body. It is better to eat less and lighter for dinner. Three hours before going to bed, try not to eat any food except drinking water. Generally, it takes three hours for food to be digested and absorbed in the intestines and stomach. When people sleep, their intestines and stomach also rest. If there is a large amount of food in the stomach and intestines before going to bed before it has time to be digested, it will inevitably increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and cause gastroenteritis in the long run. For the sake of good health, try to eat dinner as early as possible, eat less, and eat lighter, so that the stomach and intestines do not have any burden when they rest at night. Even if your gastrointestinal health is healthy, how bad will your health be?

Modern people have rich material lives, and many diseases are caused by food. Overeating, overeating, and uncontrolled eating are health taboos. For the sake of good health, you must take good care of your mouth

Is it true that starvation cures all diseases? Someone may stand up and say that it is nonsense! The result of hunger is death, how can it cure all diseases? Saying such words, I can definitely say that it would be understandable if he were an ordinary person without any culture! If it comes from a professional doctor, then his medical skills must be limited! Why do you say this?

(1) Remember there is such a proverb in parenting: If you want a child to be safe, he must be hungry and cold! What does it mean? The principle is that if you want your child to be healthy and normal, you should let him eat a little less, that is, seventy percent full! If you want your child to be healthy and normal, you have to let him undergo some freezing. Everyone knows that the children who are placed in the incubator in the hospital have something wrong with them, otherwise they would not be put there! This is the same as the "spring cover and autumn freeze" in our traditional health care! It's a pity that today's young parents don't understand this at all. They are afraid that their children will be cold and hungry. They wear three layers of clothes inside and three outside, and feed milk powder once in a while. If they eat too much, problems will appear. The most direct and simple one is indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea, and the result is counterproductive! Children who wear too much and cover themselves tightly and sneeze and yawn whenever they are exposed to the wind will find it difficult for such children to grow up healthily!

(2) I remember reading a report that people who are terminally ill (cancer) can use the "starvation" method to extend their lives, that is, the starvation treatment method. You endure hunger. Starved cancer cells will be killed in batches, and your over-nourished cancer cells will also enter the active stage and no one knows where they have moved, so your little life will be over soon! It seems that this anti-hunger therapy is very effective! I seem to have mentioned this point in my past answers, but unfortunately many people don’t understand it at all!

(3) In reality, we often say that "diseases come from the mouth." In fact, many people do not understand the true meaning of this sentence. It does not mean that people eat it from the mouth. Many diseases are caused by people not being able to control their mouths and eating too much of anything. SARS a few years ago was caused by people indiscriminately hunting and killing wild animals and eating wild animals indiscriminately. The trouble is that humans are animals that eat whole grains, not carnivores. There are some things that cannot be eaten. At least you cannot eat them indiscriminately. If you eat indiscriminately, you will get into trouble. Even if you eat too much, you cannot eat too much. If you eat too much, you will get into trouble. !

(4) For a person who is bedridden, sometimes what we care about most is whether he can open his mouth to eat. If he can eat and drink, he will soon. Recover, because people can only eat and have an appetite when they are healthy and not sick or when their bodies are gradually recovering. If you don't eat or drink, then just lie in bed. A person who relies on drugs to maintain his life instead of food will never come to an end. Can't go far!

To sum up, the saying that hunger cures all diseases makes sense in a certain sense! Everyone can experience it. Don’t believe it. If you don’t believe it, you will be the one who loses his life in the end!

Can hunger cure all diseases? Today's academic world is full of disputes. But there is no doubt that today’s three highs are caused by excessive nutrition.

Before the reform and opening up in the 1980s, there were few Chinese citizens with high blood pressure, and some were elderly people. This is in stark contrast to the high blood pressure among primary school children today. Can hunger cure all diseases? I am qualified to say that as a person born in 1963. Because I am a hunger healer who eats two meals. Due to work reasons, I have developed the habit of eating two meals a day for five years. I am a heavy smoker and drinker. Before the age of 40, I would drink two to three meals a day, and then I would limit my drinking to one meal in the evening. I smoke one to two packs a day and like to drink green tea.

My habit is to eat a full breakfast, skip lunch, eat 70% full dinner around 5pm, drink two to three ounces of white wine, combine meat and vegetables, and generally avoid eating excess vegetables and braised fish. Control your living habits within two days.

I am 1.79cm tall and currently weigh 74kg. People who look young say I am only 50 years old. My health is good, I haven't had a cold in the past five years, and my blood sugar and blood pressure are slightly high. From my experience, controlling diet can cure obesity. If the work intensity is high, you can take a supplement at noon, and control your weight so that you are not too hungry. Dinner should be finished before six o'clock and rest before half past ten.

Some people say that you should not eat after lunch. I think this is a misunderstanding. Not eating at night will have a certain impact on sleep. Because good sleep requires a comfortable stomach. If you are hungry and panicking, you will be more likely to get tired if you don't get good sleep quality, which will have an impact on your life and work. It is more reasonable to put hunger at noon. It is reasonable that we can relieve it by drinking water and tea, and it also protects the stomach to a certain extent.

Hungry can’t cure all diseases? I dare not speak out loud. , but it is a big surprise for obese people to be moderately hungry. Drinking tea and maintaining a sense of semi-hunger does have a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of the current three highs.

When I chatted with elderly people in their nineties, the most common thing they talked about was being hungry and suffering. Those years aroused my curiosity and puzzled me. I felt that they were often hungry when they were young. How could they live such a long life and be so "healthy"?

Later, I began to observe carefully and found that some people died in their sixties. Their lives were normal and they also did manual labor every day. But why did you die so early? Through understanding, I learned that these people are relatively good at eating, and my wife even said that they were "starved to death" in this life.

Several people died just over sixty years old. They ate voraciously. They would eat in the middle of the night when they were hungry. They even ate meat randomly when they saw it, as if someone was robbing them. Including women. In very affluent days, people are disappearing. Is it related to the lack of awareness of hunger and fullness? We don’t know this, but anyway, they all have enough food and clothing, but they are missing.

There is a woman in particular who knows how to take care of herself. It is said that she does not touch cold water or work even during her menstrual period. However, she only likes to eat and drink a lot, and she stopped at the age of sixty.

Listening to those old ladies in their nineties, when they were young, even when they were about to give birth to a baby, they still cooked and washed clothes in the house, and went to work in the fields after a few days of confinement. , it’s not easy to even eat an egg, and I’m still starving. An old lady said that she waded through an icy river more than ten days after giving birth. The pain brought tears to our eyes.

However, these old people are not sick, and they are half full when they eat. No matter how much they like to eat, it is only "a taste for a gentleman." Maybe we were too poor in the past, and there were too many brothers and sisters in the family, so we had to give food to each other, so we developed this habit, and it was always enough.

In every village here, there are many elderly people in their 80s and 90s. There are so many people who died in their 60s. There are some in every village. If you think about it carefully, some people eat really well. It makes people feel that the tutoring is not good, but it is rare.

A good friend, he has been to many provinces in the cashmere business. When he came back to chat with everyone, he said that the people in the rural areas of a certain province were very strange. They lived a good life, but they had to eat. Just like how long you have been hungry... people there have short life spans. Because of this reason, some children's marriages have failed. Although there are several children who are willing, their parents will not allow their children to marry, which is really sad.

Although there is no scientific basis for the saying that "hunger cures all diseases", a person cannot live without food. If the whole area is full of random people, it will make people feel alienated.
