Avoid These 15 Foods Before Sleep
Work pressure, family commitment, finances, etc, are some of the reasons we usually tend to loose sleep, so the last thing we want us to cause the stressful night is our dining options.
Believe it or not, the food we eat has a lot of influence on how sound we sleep. There are some foods that induce sleep, some foods particularly junk foods or caffeine cause us sleepless nights.
It is said that we need at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night to avoid the release of the stress hormone cortisol. Night is the time when our body undergoes the rejuvenation process.
So, it is highly important that we take care of our eating and sleeping habits, as these habits can help us live a healthier life.
Most of us don’t think twice before nibbling on that cheesy pizza or gulping down a drink, but most of these can wreak a havoc on our slumber.
Today, we at Boldsky will talk about foods that you have to stay far away from if you want to get a good night's sleep. Here’s presenting 15 foods that you should avoid for having a better sleep.
Caffeine:
Caffeine
causes
an
effect
on
the
brain,
which
helps
people
to
stay
awake.
And
its
effects
last
up
to
5
hours
after
consuming
it.
So,
unless
you
are
planning
to
burn
the
midnight
oil
for
family
or
work
commitments,
we
advise
you
to
skip
that
coffee
post
dinner.
Spicy food:
Who doesn't like gorging on the Chicken Kadhai or Paneer butter masala for dinner? But, if you want a sound sleep, you should stay away from these food items. This spicy food can cause bloating or uneasiness which can affect your sleep.
Red meat
It contains oodles of fats and proteins, which take a very long time to digest and can cause uneasiness and cramps during sleep.
Junk food
Junk food such as a burger or French fries make for a great midnight snack, but they are also very high in saturated fats that take a lot of time to digest. It can cause uneasiness or discomfort while sleeping.
Chocolate:
Chocolates are a great comfort food and they also have lots of other benefits. But, they are also high in sugar that can cause sugar rush, which can keep you up away past the bed time.
Ice cream:
Most of us consume ice-cream unassumingly as a dessert post dinner; but little do we know that consuming it before bed can have side effects. It contains loads of fats and sugar, which can keep you up for a very long time.
Fruits:
Fruits are an ideal dessert option, but if you're going overboard with it, they can have their effects on your sleep. Fruits contain sugar that can cause sugar rush.
Pasta
It is a great quick-fix for those busy souls. But it also contains lots of carbs, which cause your glucose levels to shoot up giving you loads of energy, which is the last thing you should want if you are aiming for a sound sleep.
Garlic:
It is true that eating garlic can give you bad breath, but it also contains several properties which can cause you a heartburn specially if had at night.
Cheese
It is filled with fats that make it difficult for your digestive system to process. So, you should avoid it before bedtime.
Candy Bars
If you are the kind who often gets a nightmare, then you should totally avoid candy bars before bedtime. Apart from causing the sugar rush, sugar is known to create nightmare waves in the brain.
Alcohol
It is normally presumed that drinking alcohol gives you a sound sleep. But, it gives you a shallow sleep and lots of awakening cycle through the night.
Energy bars
Energy bars contain lots of sugar that can give you the extra energy, causing you to be awake if you consume them before bedtime.
Nuts
They are an ideal midnight snack, but they also contain fat, which can cause heartburn and a troubled sleep in you.
Lettuce
Lettuce is healthy no doubt, but eating it before sleeping can cause your stomach to bloat directly affecting your sleep quality.
