5 foods you should never eat before bed
EATING the wrong foods before bed can keep you awake for hours and make you wake up feeling lethargic.
Here are five of the foods to avoid if you want a good night's sleep.
1. Red meat
Eating it before you go to sleep disrupts your rest as your body stays alert and attempts to break the protein down.
2. Spicy food
This irritation can prevent an easy night’s sleep.
3. Vegetables
4. Sugary food and drink
The sugary and caffeine-fuelled content stops you from getting off to sleep and makes you more likely to feel sluggish and lethargic when you wake up the next morning.
5. Fried food
Eating them before bed can result in poor sleep quality because they cause stomach pains, cramps, and acid reflux.
....and here are some you can eat
To prevent nighttime hunger pangs without disrupting your sleep, look for foods that contain dairy.
These products are rich in amino acid tryptophan and contain sleep-inducing substance melatonin.
Cherry juice also includes melatonin - so try to drink a glass before bed.
