In this article, we will tell you whether it is possible to go to bed on an empty stomach and what is better to eat for dinner.
Why you shouldn't go to bed hungry
You cannot sleep on an empty stomach, because it provokes insulin resistance, reflux esophagitis, and the development of a hiatal hernia.
In addition, in people with asthma and allergies, changes in respiratory function may occur.
The ideal time between eating and going to bed is three hours.
If after a late workout, for example, you really want to eat, you can make an exception, but not less than an hour before bedtime.
What foods can be eaten at night
Before going to bed, for dinner you can eat foods that improve the quality of your sleep.
Products that are sources of tryptophan of animal origin include, first of all, milk, low-fat cheeses, fish and meat.
Among products of plant origin, it is worth focusing on legumes, nuts, especially pine nuts, and sesame seeds.
For example, turkey, chicken, tuna, soy, beans.
Drinking chamomile tea or cherry juice before bed is also helpful.
