KNOWING WHAT TO EAT OR TAKE-IN BEFORE BEDTIME

Spread the love

Did you know that
your choice of late-night snack will have significant bearing on your sleep
cycle? The wrong food or drink can subtract precious hours of rest and ensure
drowsiness and irritability the following day. Over time, inadequate sleep
patterns can lead to a variety of chronic health problems, including heart
disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and
depression. Are you tired of sleepless nights? Get your eight hours by avoiding
these foods and drinks before bedtime. BOLA AKINBOADE-BELLO presents to you foods
and drinks to avoid.
CHOCOLATE AND OTHER
CAFFEINE-FILLED FOODS AND DRINKS
As a no brainer
perhaps, that said, an afternoon cappuccino or candy bar may be enough to
disturb that night’s rest, as the body requires up to five hours ridding itself
of caffeine.
SPICY FOOD
Indian, Mexican,
and other spicy foods are all examples of terrible late-night meals. If
consumed within three hours of bedtime, these snacks may wreck your sleep
pattern, as they often induce indigestion and reflux. “It’s not that the
spice interrupts your sleep, but the fact that the spice causes heartburn, and
that interrupts your sleep.

ALCOHOL
It’s noted that
alcohol has two basic effects! One is to put you to sleep, and the other is to
wake you up three or four hours later. A depressant, alcohol tends to reverse
its soporific effect within a few hours. As a result, you may miss out on
valuable rest – the final stage of your sleep cycle, when our most vivid dreams
occur.
WATER
Suprisingly, chugging
water less than an hour before bedtime is not a good idea. While it is
important to stay hydrated, moderation is preferred during later hours. Give the
body enough time to void that fluid before bed. One would have thought water
wouldn’t have been on the list but doctors know better and following guidelines
helps us improve on our personal body care.
TAKING NOTHING TO
BED!
Given the
restrictions above, avoiding food altogether may seem like a reasonable
alternative and probably seem to be the GO-GO idea to (port) However, experts
suggest otherwise, that going to bed hungry is never a good idea either.
Starvation or
excessive hunger causes sleeplessness and increased activity, If there’s a
general rule of thumb, being too hungry makes it difficult to sleep and eating
a lot of food makes it difficult to sleep.
CONCLUSION
What then is the
lesson here? One would reasonable settle with the fact that overall moderation
and paid attention and precaution steps are to be taken when thinking of the
right food to eat before bedtime; it’s essential because of the after effect
and what we have to suffer all night if we actually do make the wrong choice of
it all.
