why should not we eat @ the time of day immediately following sunset?

My MOM used to say "SANDHI VELAYIL" sapidakkoodadhu.. why it is so?

Scientifically u are supposed to utilize ur energy and take in fresh energy from the evening sun ! Taking food at that time would be a hindrance to the process ! So refrain from having heavy food that time
U can also hear them saying dont sleep during that time ... this s the reason for the same !

Also particularly that evening time, at six , when they light the vilakku , tis the time when Lakshmi enters the house to give subiksham n eating at that time is not the right choice !
