Starting at 7 pm our metabolism slows down. Our bodies are governed by an internal clock, according to which there are moments of peak performance and activity, and rest of its energy.
In traditional Chinese medicine, is seven to nine pm (solar time), the time slot in which the stomach is at a minimum energy, this is the reason why you may feel the need to eat some food, and this is the time more balanced and healthy for dinner, because the digestive system needs to receive food for balance. In our culture is the branch of chronobiology that studies the life cycles governing body of living beings.
Reverse order food, with varied and generous breakfasts and dinners more moderate, is to be in harmony with our internal clock, as it is in the morning when all the organs are plethoric and in need of a good breakfast, and after seven p.m. that our entire organization, (although we do not realize), you begin to prepare for the rest, slow down your metabolism.
