1. Scientific late-night snacks before bed.
During the night, the body secretes growth hormones and insulin, among other anabolic hormones, at a peak period. These hormones help promote the synthesis and metabolism of proteins in the body, aiding in growth and development. High-quality sleep supports the secretion of these hormones. The most effective method is to drink a cup of sweetened milk or a bowl of warm millet porridge half an hour before sleep; one can also consume some high-protein foods or desserts.
2. Reasonable food choices.
Chinese medicine believes that those who are thin often have a deficiency of yin and a hot constitution. The diet for thin individuals should primarily focus on nourishing yin and clearing heat. In daily meals, in addition to choosing foods rich in animal protein, one can appropriately increase the intake of soy products, vegetables, and fruits. It is also advisable to select other foods with a cooler nature in moderation, such as black fungus, mushrooms, and bitter gourd.
