How to have a healthy dinner?

The proverb says: “Eat breakfast for yourself, lunch with your friends and dinner with your enemies.”

Skipping dinner can cause low blood sugar and fatigue. You will have to compensate for the lack of calories your body is lacking with a “huge” breakfast with meat and other protein-rich foods. The habit of “fullness accumulates hunger” is also the reason why you have problems with your digestive system and weight.

This can lead to colon cancer.

After dinner, desserts all contain a certain amount of sugar, whether large or small. When eating a lot of sweets, the sugar content after entering the body will be divided into two types: fructose and glucose, which are absorbed by the body and converted into energy and fat.

Therefore, if dinner is too late, nocturnal urination is not done promptly, leading to the accumulation of toxic waste such as calcium oxalate, uric acid... in the kidneys and urethra, which can cause kidney stones and urinary tract stones over time.
