Evening habits to improve health

The food eaten at dinner greatly affects the health of people with high cholesterol, fatty liver, diabetes or high blood pressure, according to the Hindustan Times .

One of the factors that affect the body's metabolism is eating at the wrong time, says Dr. Karthiyayini Mahadevan, a general practitioner and physician in India.

The liver is the main metabolic organ in the human physiological system. It works closely with the biological clock, helping to form glucose or store glycogen.

The liver operates in two cycles: breaking down substances to make glucose and building up digested substances into glycogen stores.

Eating on time helps the liver function optimally. Specifically, eating an early dinner also helps the body improve digestive function, enhance the liver's detoxification function, improve intestinal motility and create conditions for intestinal microflora to develop.

Eat before 7pm

Both folk wisdom and modern science agree that eating an early dinner can work wonders for your digestive system and metabolism. This allows your body to relax and recover while you sleep.

Avoid fried and greasy foods

Fats are not digested well at dinner because the liver is in the anabolic phase (building glycogen), producing less bile.

In addition, greasy foods can also cause bloating, indigestion, and affect sleep quality.

Drink enough water

Drinking warm water or soup with dinner helps aid digestion effectively. In addition, combining soup with green vegetables rich in fiber also helps nourish beneficial intestinal bacteria, bringing many benefits to digestive health.

Limit animal protein intake

Digesting animal protein requires a lot of energy and support from the liver. However, in the evening, the liver is in the glycogen building phase, so its ability to support protein digestion is limited.

This can lead to incompletely digested protein accumulating in the gut, affecting beneficial microflora.
