We pay the least attention to dinner. But in vain! After all, he is as important a component of our diet as breakfast.

This is due to the hormonal system of our body and the functioning of the digestive system. In the evening, we wake up "night hormones": melatonin, growth hormone, which trigger the body's use of fat reserves for energy needs.
