Dinner eaten before or by 8 p.m., hopefully quite earlier than 8 p.m., is beneficial. If meat is included with a meal or if other more difficult foods to digest are included with a meal, eating those foods between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. are beneficial.


Food should be eaten mindfully in a peaceful environment with concentration of the proper intake of food without technological distractions or engaging in other physical activities in the process. Properly and thoroughly chewing the food is of importance. Eating should not be done hastily.
