“Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch or dinner.”
Orson Welles
Lunch should the second biggest meal of the day. Dinner should be the smallest meal of the day and you should eat it not later than 6pm or 7pm latest. Each time when we eat food, pancreas produces insulin to decrease blood sugar that must be stable at all time. Biologically, pancreas is at rest by 6-7pm. When we eat food later than 7pm we force pancreas to do job that it is not supposed to do. That way we create a lot of chronic problems.
