Why After Dinner, We Still Want To Eat More Food?

In this world, there are some things that are experienced by everyone in this world. Like, humans always sneeze with their eyes closed with a sound that is almost the same, no matter whether you are African, Chinese, or Javanese, the sound of sneezing is always the same. I think, this is God's way to make us believe that, all people in this world are brothers to each other. Because, until now I have not heard and found anyone sneezing with a scale.

In addition to sneezing, there are also other similarities experienced by many humans in this world. Like, who came up with the idea of eating three meals a day, in the morning, afternoon, and evening in this world. We also go on autopilot will feel hungry and decide to eat at that time, and if it really happens on autopilot it seems that all humans are really the same family.

However, apart from those three normal times of eating. There are moments of hunger that are also experienced by many people. The moment is felt when a few hours after dinner, we are hungry again and want to eat.

I don't know why after dinner and a while later we get hungrier and hungrier. Just think about it during the day, after lunch I still can't stand not eating and don't feel hungry even when it comes to dinner. I've had that a lot, I had a very voracious dinner at 7pm with my family. So at night, Indonesians, of course, use rice plus side dishes that are delicious and filling. It is certain, one portion of my dinner must be full of calories.

After dinner, it didn't take long. At 8:00 pm, I want to chew again din I feel hungry again. I know, there is not a single health expert and doctor in this world who can tolerate excessive night eating habits. Even ordinary people who don't care about health know that it's a bad habit and can increase the risk of disease in our bodies. Unfortunately, my brain, my feelings and my stomach are nothing to cooperate with. Finally I decided to melt the meal for dinner again.

I choose to look for the nearest night culinary where I live. Culinary night that sells nasi uduk (nasi lemak) with various choices of side dishes such as fish, fried chicken, anchovy sauce, potatoes, stir-fried fish etc. as well as lontong (cake rice) dishes with delicious curry sauce. This food stall sells without a nameplate, because no one cares. One important thing, the food is delicious, the price is cheap and the taste is also according to the taste of the local people. To prevent controversy and debate, I order food and eat it on the spot without having to take the food home.

I tried to think, it seems that the habit of eating again after dinner may be because our minds and brains have been suggested about the many delicious food vendors at night. As friends know, there are lots of street food that start their business at night. Street Food sells delicious and cheap food, so we are not afraid of running out of money or spending expensive money to buy more food.

In addition, I think there is an influence on the safety of our homes at night. The safer our city, the more night culinary business actors and consumers will not be afraid to walk out of the house looking for food at night. I think like this, because I remember my elementary school friend, Marasabessy, an ethnic Ambonese victim of the 2000 inter-religious conflict in Maluku. Every night, he did not dare to leave the house because he was still traumatized by the conflict. I think, if I had experienced that I would also never have thought of looking for food again after dinner.

So, do you think you also feel what I feel? Hungry after a while for dinner?
