The wellness and aura-soma therapy coach Antonina Canal stresses that “we are what we eat” and for this reason we must pay great importance to the food we eat and how it is made. Canal shares, in this episode of Yes I can and it’s easy a diet that not only impacts physical nutrition, but spiritual growth and general well-being.
What time should you eat?
The relationship between food and physical well-being is clear, however Antonina affirms that many times we do not give the same importance to the relationship between food and spiritual well-being. She claims that, for example, Eating at odd hours or not properly thanking a food can have repercussions on how the body works.
The best hours to eat, according to the Laboratory of Biological and Metabolic Rhythms of the National University of Mexico, are:
- Eat breakfast between 6 am and 10 am or just an hour following waking up.
- Have lunch four or five hours following having breakfast, that is, approximately between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.
- Eat dinner four or five hours following eating lunch. The maximum time to eat is between 6 pm and 6:30 pm
Eating following hours has a negative impact on mental health. In a Harvard study, the behaviors of two groups of women were analyzed, the first only ate during the day while the second ate both during the day and at night. Those women who adopted night shifts had a 26% increase in depression symptoms and a 16% increase in anxiety symptoms.
