What happens to your body when you snack in between meals

Image
If you want to be healthy, you should eat three times a day, every 5 hours. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. No snacks.  Why? I'm gonna explain how your digestive system works. After you eat something, it goes to your stomach. It starts digesting when you stop eating by going into small intestine. It takes around 3 hours for food to digest (if it's healthy plant based food, but meat and dairy products take longer). If you're constantly eating something, without waiting for previous food to digest, it's accumulating in your stomach and it rots . It can cause a lot of health issues. So you have to wait 3 hours for food to digest and then extra 2 hours because stomach is a muscle that needs to rest just like all other muscles in your body. Another thing that can disrupt digesting is drinking while eating, or immediately after your meal. Wait at least 1 hour. And one more thing. Don't eat a lot for dinner and eat at least 3 hours before going to bed. If you eat

What should we eat for dinner?

Image
Most people don't eat much for a breakfast, or they don't have it at all. When I ask them why, their respond is usually "I can't eat in the morning, I'm not hungry". That's because people eat too much for dinner and some people even snack after dinner. That's why they don't wake up hungry and can't have the most important meal of the day. I'm gonna explain why this is wrong . When you eat to much for dinner, you're soon going to bed and you're not gonna burn all those calories. That makes you fat. Instead you should either eat something light for dinner or not have it at all if you're not hungry (maybe you had a really good lunch and didn't loose much energy throughout the day). And then when you wake up the next day, you'll be able to eat and get the energy that you need for that day, and you have a whole day to burn those calories. You're not sure what exactly you can eat. Here's some ideas. It's
