There's a saying: "The emperor's breakfast, the minister's lunch, the beggar's dinner." It implies having a hearty breakfast, a filling lunch, and a light dinner. However, in reality, it's challenging to follow. Modern mornings are rushed, grabbing a quick breakfast on the go, not leisurely preparing and enjoying a meal at home. Lunchtime is also tight, leaving only evenings with slightly more time to relax and reward oneself after a tiring day.
In this era of advanced science, numerous theories have emerged. Some advocate for the traditional three meals a day, while others propose intermittent fasting methods like 10/14, 16/8, or 20/4, even advocating for full-day or three-day fasting. Then there are diets like keto, low-sugar, low-carb, and various other theories. New studies and papers seem to emerge regularly, leaving us questioning their validity.
Many of these theories are derived from sampled groups and research. However, each region has its dietary habits, climate, and external factors, leading to potential biases. Some elderly individuals eat minimally every day, yet they live long and healthy lives despite their dietary differences from research findings. So, who's right and who's wrong?
The body, this enigmatic entity, remains mysterious. Despite advancements in research, it hasn't fully revealed all its secrets. It retains an unfathomable aspect! There's no one-size-fits-all answer; it's about finding what works for oneself. Perhaps discovering a personal approach that satisfies individual needs makes the number of meals irrelevant.
