Since ancient times, Tibetan doctors have established that, in addition to the daily rhythm of the whole organism, each organ also has its own personal schedule. And if you coordinate the diet with the schedule of the digestive tract, then the food will be completely absorbed, less substances are converted into subcutaneous fat, toxins will be removed faster, the meal will really be beneficial. So what is it - the circadian rhythm of digestion?
At 6-7 in the morning, a feeling of hunger may well wake up. At the same time, keep in mind that blood pressure always rises at this time, so coffee or strong tea will be completely inappropriate. And even a hypotonic person, who believes that he always has low blood pressure, can become rather bad from morning coffee.
From 7 to 9 in the morning, the secretion of gastric juice is minimal, therefore, foods containing a lot of proteins, as well as fats, are poorly digested. Here even the curd will lie like a stone in the stomach. Not to mention whole milk and butter sandwiches. Therefore, lovers of hearty breakfasts (for example, a cutlet with pasta, and maybe even soup - this is how some men have breakfast) should think about it.
It is better to wait 10 hours, when the stomach "wakes up", and then the time will come for substantial refreshment. Foods that are difficult to digest in the morning include eggs and sausages.
Correct morning meal. Fruits, fruit salads with the addition of, for example, a small amount of rolled oats or a few spoons of bioyogurt; any porridge cooked in water, with the addition of milk after boiling; sandwiches with jam, toast; cereal or bran bread with a slice of cheese is the perfect breakfast.
Lunch. At 10-12 o'clock you can have a hearty meal. In terms of the volume and quality of food, this meal can be compared to lunch (it is even better to replace lunch with it). And all because the stomach is at a period of maximum activity.
From 15 to 17 o'clock, the next link of the digestive conveyor - the small intestine - enters the working state. At this time, meat dishes, any poultry, fish, seafood will be perfectly digested; vegetable side dishes, buckwheat, rice, pasta … By the way, for those who cannot live without smoked meats, it is better to eat sausage at this time too.
But the traditional lunchtime is not at all suitable for eating according to the body's internal schedule. In view of this, go on a hunger strike from 1 pm to 3 pm. Now the body is at a minimum of activity. For obvious reasons (we are at work!) Many of us do not have the opportunity to rest during the day, so we advise you to do work that does not require high energy costs.

Afternoon snack. At 16-17 o'clock, a person feels hunger again. By this time, many products of protein metabolism and toxic substances had accumulated in the blood. Therefore, it would be good to drink tea, juice or fruit drink. And this is the right moment to cheer yourself up with a cup of coffee. For an afternoon snack, it is quite possible to eat dessert: pastries, sweets.
Quiet evening. By 19 o'clock, fatigue makes itself felt, and we habitually reach for a jar of coffee. Try to persuade yourself to give up this stimulant: do not overload the cardiovascular system, otherwise your head will start to hurt, irritability will increase. Fatigue that occurs during these hours is best relieved by soothing herbal teas, because overstrain becomes the cause of fatigue of the nervous system. And dinner time is about 20 hours. No, no, it will not add kilograms, you just need to know what to eat. In the evening, dairy products are good: cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir.
