According to healthline Late-night eaters typically don't have much of an option but to eat since they're starving. Dinner is generally eaten late because most individuals don't get off work until late. It's normal for folks in this predicament to get to bed shortly after eating rather than waiting for their stomachs to settle.
Possible undesirable health effects include but are not limited to: weight gain, heartburn, insomnia, and, worst case scenario, indigestion. People generally know what they shouldn't eat first thing in the morning, but a surprising number of people don't understand there are also things they shouldn't consume late at night, particularly in the hours before bedtime.
Hence, this essay will discuss the effects of eating late at night and zero in on four (4) products or foods that both Healthline and WebMD agree you should avoid eating. Here are certain elements that should be included in every class:
Products High in Glycemic Index
If you're going to have dinner late, avoid starchy meals like potatoes, pasta, and rice. It's because eating carbohydrate during meals causes an immediate spike in blood sugar and insulin. If weight loss is a priority, you should skip the starchy dinner. It's possible to gain weight if sugar isn't burned as fuel before bed but instead stored as fat, as the body doesn't exert itself while it sleeps.
Pepper-flavored foods are commonly referred to as "hot"
It's not safe to eat spicy foods late at night, therefore it's best to eat all you want throughout the day. The risk of waking up with heartburn after eating something spicy before bed and then lying down is increased. Eating spicy food can irritate your bladder and force you to get up multiple times during the night to relieve yourself.
carbohydrates that are both sweet and starchy
After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you should refrain from eating high-glycemic foods such as cake, pizza, soda, raw sugar, fruit juice, bread, and most breakfast cereals. This is because these types of nutrients are broken down into energy very quickly. If you eat a bunch of sugary foods before night, your body will convert them into fat as you sleep.
Bad fats
If you care about your health, you should also avoid eating fatty foods late at night. Due to the difficulty in digesting them, they should not be consumed after midnight. Meals high in trans fat should be eaten in moderation, but too many of them might have a harmful effect on health. Reduce your intake of potentially dangerous cooking oils including palm oil and vegetable oil.
