Two meals a day yellow calendar

Is it harmful or healthy to change three meals a day to two meals? The earliest ancient custom in China is to follow the custom of having two meals a day. So is three meals a day better or two meals a day? Before answering this question, let's learn how the ancients in China changed from two meals a day to three meals a day. In the pre-Qin period, ancient people had two meals a day, only two meals in the morning and evening. In ancient times, breakfast was called glutinous rice, and dinner was called glutinous rice.

How did ancient times change from two meals a day to three meals a day? First, two meals a day in ancient times.

(1) is related to work habits.

For generations, the ancients followed the labor habit of sunrise and sunset. At dawn, the rooster began to crow and got up. The women began to make breakfast in the dim light. People go to work in the fields as soon as the sun rises after breakfast. When they go home for dinner at 4-5 pm, they go to bed at dark, and then they save enough energy for the next day's work. At that time, they went to bed early, had no nightlife, and spent less at night, so naturally they would not feel hungry.

(2) related to economic conditions.

In ancient times, the standard of living was very low. Most people didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes, so if they could eat two meals a day, they could be regarded as wealthy families. However, in addition to two meals a day, wealthy families will also add some snacks and preserved fruits in the middle.

Second, three meals a day in ancient times.

① Three kinds of food

In ancient times, three meals a day were called three o'clock, which began in the Han Dynasty. The first breakfast time is after dawn, which is called a refrigerator. The second lunch is at noon. People call it lunch or "having lunch". The third dinner is arranged between 3 pm and 5 pm at the time of application.

⑵ The difference between ancient three meals and modern three meals.

Compared with modern people's three meals a day, the ingredients and practices of Gusan food are much simpler. The time is also different. Except after lunch, two meals in the morning and evening are two hours earlier than now. The main reason is that hardworking people can work two more hours. Besides, there is no lighting and entertainment at night, so they must go to bed early and get up early.

Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of two meals a day in modern times. I think three meals a day is the beginning of human progress and a true portrayal of enriching life. If we want to go back to two meals a day in ancient times, not to mention the conflict with the long-established living habits of modern people, more importantly, it is not worth the candle.

abuse

(1) is inconsistent with the schedule of modern people.

Modern people generally implement the 8-hour working system, or work and rest time from nine to five, which embodies the characteristics of high efficiency and fast pace. Without Chinese food and energy supplement in the middle, you will be listless in the afternoon and unable to concentrate on your work and study in the second half of the day.

Modern people have a rich nightlife. If they eat their second dinner as early as the ancients, they will skip the time to taste delicious food and lose the opportunity to have dinner with their friends. Life is like a stagnant pool. There is no life, no friends, no social activities and no hobbies.

(2) is not conducive to health.

The scientific way of eating is to eat less and eat more. Compressing the amount of food in three meals into the second intake will obviously increase the burden of gastrointestinal digestion, and it is easy to overeat or overeat every time, leading to the accumulation of fat and obesity. In addition, reducing a meal will also reduce the working hours of the digestive system, slow down the blood circulation of the whole body, and easily induce various diseases.

profit

The only advantage is to save time and materials.

In today's superior material living standard, people are more interested in enjoying delicious and healthy diet. Moreover, many people have the habit of eating supper, which is actually four meals a day. Personally, I think two meals a day is meaningless and has many disadvantages.
