Most of us live without some sort of clear routine: Wake up in the morning, drinking coffee, and further — as will go. But the Chinese are in this respect significantly different from people in other countries. Their daily business is planned almost by the minute, with mandatory rest and lunch.

The most important thing in the daily routine of a Chinese — food at the proper time. According to them, long breaks in the meal, have a negative impact on the body. Very important from early morning hearty Breakfast to recharge your energy for the whole day. It must be healthy food, not coffee and sandwiches, they are used to most of us.

Breakfast the Chinese may begin at any time, but lunch is on a strict schedule.
