Does it make sense that starvation can cure all diseases?

As the saying goes, hunger can cure all diseases, which actually refers to the hunger therapy of skipping dinner. Some medical theories hold that eating dinner is a habitual inducement of disease in our body and is also one of the reasons why many stubborn diseases in the human body cannot be cured for a long time. It is not so natural to eat when you are hungry. So, from the perspective of modern medical theory, does it really make sense to say that starvation can cure all diseases?

7 reasons why skipping dinner and starvation can cure all diseases

Loving to eat dinner is one of the reasons why humans suffer from diseases; it is also one of the reasons why many diseases cannot be cured for a long time. Many people think that they should eat when they are hungry at night; in fact, it is not true; it is normal not to eat when you are hungry at night.

Both Chinese medicine and Buddhism say: "Do not eat after noon." The so-called "noon" is from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. You can't eat after 1:00 p.m.

What to do when you are hungry? You can drink juice and eat fruit. Traditional Chinese medicine and Buddhism advocate not eating dinner, not to save food, but to maintain health.

① Skip dinner to reduce fat accumulation

Since the human body's metabolism begins to accelerate at 4 a.m. and reaches its peak at 16:00 p.m., the human body must be supplemented with nutrients. That's why we have to eat breakfast and lunch.

However, from 16:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., the body's metabolism gradually decreases; therefore, we cannot boost our metabolism at night. Otherwise, the body will turn them into waste - fat, because the body will not say: "Don't give me fuel." This is the first reason why we can't eat dinner.

② Skipping dinner keeps your cardiovascular system in good condition

After the human body ingests food, the blood in the whole body is redistributed and a large amount of blood is concentrated in the digestive system; therefore, organs such as the heart, brain, lungs, kidneys, and muscles are in a state of relative ischemia. Because the vagus nerve is in an excited state at night and the heart rate is very slow, after dinner, the heart is in a state of ischemia and the heart rate slows down, which will cause myocardial ischemia and sudden death. That’s the second reason why we can’t have dinner.

③ Skip dinner so your stomach and intestines can rest properly

Because the human body's biological clock requires the human body to be active during the day and sleep at night; that is, the various organs of the body should exercise during the day and rest at night; further, the gastrointestinal tract should also rest, not work; therefore, eating dinner is against the laws of nature. That’s the third reason why we can’t have dinner.

④ Skip dinner. When you are hungry, your resistance will be better.

Because the phagocytes are most active when the human body is hungry, and the number of phagocytes is the largest when there is sufficient protein and vitamins; therefore, the hunger caused by not eating dinner while drinking broth and juice can induce the phagocytes to eat degenerated necrotic tissue. That’s the fourth reason why we can’t have dinner.

⑤ Skipping dinner will give you a chance to excrete toxins from your body

Because the liver, pancreas, stomach, and intestines of the digestive system can only secrete a large amount of digestive fluid when they are hungry, the toxins in the human body can be excreted through the digestive fluid. But if we eat when we are hungry, the toxic digestive juices will be reabsorbed by the body; but if we don’t eat dinner, the toxic digestive juices will be absorbed by the dietary fiber in the intestines and excreted as feces. But we can't go hungry during the day, so we can only go hungry at night. That’s the fifth reason why we can’t have dinner.

⑥ When people eat dinner, their eyes will be in a state of relative ischemia, and their vision will decline.

The eyes can maintain normal vision only when the blood circulation is good. However, if people eat dinner, the blood in the whole body will be redistributed, and the blood will be concentrated in the digestive system, while the eyes will be in a state of relative ischemia, and the eyes will not maintain normal vision. However, some people must read after meals, which will damage their eyes; if they do this for a long time, it will be difficult for them to see things, which is the cause of myopia. That’s the eighth reason why we can’t have dinner.

⑦ Skip dinner so that the lactic acid in the muscles can be completely metabolized

Muscles can maintain normal muscle strength only when blood circulation is good. However, if people eat dinner, the blood will be concentrated in the digestive system, and the muscles will be in a state of relative ischemia. Then the large amount of lactic acid in the muscles will not be completely metabolized, and muscle fatigue will not be overcome. This is why many people are prone to work-related accidents in the morning. This is the seventh reason why we can’t have dinner!
