Our food habits directly affect our health. Whatever we eat, at what time, it has a direct effect on our health. This is the reason why health experts also recommend eating the right foods at the right time. Usually it is advised to have a heavy breakfast and a light dinner, but very few people have the correct information about what to eat at what time and how much to eat. Especially due to incomplete information about what to eat and what not to eat at night, more than half the population suffers from stomach problems and others are troubled by insomnia.

If you get enough sleep and your stomach is clean, then thousands of diseases go away, but dinner is largely responsible for worsening both these things. What we eat in dinner matters a lot. Our circadian cycle and gut flora depend on it. In such a situation, today in this article we will tell you about some such foods, which you should stay away from at night.

Caffeine

Caffeinated tea or coffee completely disturbs the circadian cycle, increases the wake window and turns on the alert mode. Therefore, do not consume caffeine at least 8 hours before bedtime.

Chocolate/Dessert

Often people eat dessert or chocolate after meals in order to eat something sweet. This causes a rapid sugar spike and produces extra energy which is of no use while sleeping at night. Therefore, it gets stored as fat, leading to weight gain.

Starch Rich Foods

Consuming too much starch or carbs also causes sugar and insulin spikes as carbs are metabolized and converted into sugar which is burned for energy and ultimately leads to weight gain.

Spicy and Fried Foods

Fatty deep fried and spicy foods not only harm gut health, but can also cause bloating, indigestion, acidity and heartburn if eaten at night. This is because it is very difficult for gut enzymes to digest such foods at night.
