What are the benefits of not eating after noon?

Not eating after noon has gradually become a practice among many friends. This practice also has some benefits. The benefit is that the body will not accumulate too much food and cause indigestion, because after four o'clock in the afternoon, the body's metabolic capacity is weakened.

First, the human body's metabolism begins to accelerate at four in the morning and reaches its peak at four in the afternoon. After that, the metabolism becomes slower. If you eat at night and refuel at night, it will turn into waste and turn into fat.

Secondly, if we eat food and it goes into the stomach, the blood will be concentrated in the digestive system, so the heart, brain, kidneys, lungs, and muscles will all suffer from ischemia, especially the heart. People with myocardial infarction cannot eat too much. If they eat too much, sudden death may occur immediately. More than 50% of sudden heart arrest or sudden death are caused by eating too much.

Thirdly, observing the Eight Precepts can also give our stomachs and intestines a rest.

Fourthly, when we are hungry, the phagocytes in our body are most active. There is a kind of very good cell in our body, which can swallow up necrotic tissue. If we are a little hungry, our cells will be more active.

Fifthly, when you are a little hungry, the liver, pancreas, stomach, and intestines will easily secrete digestive juices.

The sixth aspect is that if a child eats too much when he is developing physically, he may grow very fat, only growing in width but not in height, and becoming very fat and short. This is all because his parents let him eat too much. Because children need to grow, they rely on the pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone. If you eat too much, the pituitary gland will not secrete much growth hormone, so you will be fat but not tall, and will stop growing soon.
