Q I'm in my 20s working from home. I sit all day and then binge at night. Are there lifestyle care methods I can practice at home?
A Regular three meals and having breakfast, a consistent sleep schedule, and cutting stimulating foods after evening are the basics. Adding a habit of moving your body even lightly during the day and letting stress flow off makes a big difference.
Detailed Answer
The basics of managing binge and late-night eating aren't special methods but rhythm. Eating three meals regularly — including breakfast — keeping a consistent bedtime, and cutting sweet foods and stimulating late-night snacks after evening are key. Moving your body with a light walk or stretching during the day and having your own way to release built-up tension reduces the triggers for nighttime binging.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we see lifestyle care as practice in letting out during the day what got blocked during the day. When you sit all day and circulation stagnates, the surplus easily bursts into binging at night. When you move your body during the day to release circulation and pull the digestive flow forward with a regular rhythm, the very drive to binge at night weakens.
