We all know how harmful it is to organize night meals. But many people come home from work much later than 6 pm, which means they can not always follow the established rules of nutrition. Are there any products that can be considered less dangerous before bedtime? What products really need to give up? Is it worth to suffer hunger before going to bed?
Based on the research, scientists managed to conclude that the feeling of night hunger is extremely important for the restoration of body cells. During the day, this process is hampered by stress and food, which we fill the stomach. But an extremely dense dinner can become a kind of barrier for restoring the digestive system and the whole organism. In addition, a full stomach can cause sleep disturbance and insomnia.
When a person feels hunger in the evening, the mechanism of the splitting of fats is included in his body, which leads to the development of energy that is necessary for us to live fully and work. At the same time, the brain receives a very large amount of glucose, which is also useful. That's why regular night meals can be the main reason for gaining excess weight. But from every rule there is an exception, and in this case it concerns adolescents who need more energy. From this it follows that, before the age of twenty-two, it is not forbidden to eat at night and at night.
Modern people are extremely busy people. Far from each of us can afford a full breakfast and a normal dinner. The same can be said about the dinner. Well, in that case it is very important to determine the products, the use of which at night is not desirable, but it is entirely acceptable.
People who do not have problems with excess weight and do not stick to diets, can afford to eat before going to bed easily digestible dishes. These dishes include pancakes, boiled rice, pastries, baked potatoes, kiwi, banana, raisins and honey. All these products have a high index of glycemia. They are able to saturate the brain with glucose, and also help them develop serotonin and melatonin, providing a light sleep. However, it is worth remembering that such food is strictly prohibited for people suffering from diabetes or obesity.
If there are problems with sleeping, it is recommended to use foods that increase the level of tryptophan. This particular amino acid stimulates the production of carotid substances. The products used by people suffering from insomnia include: dairy products, cheese, sesame, honey, infusions of mint and chamomile.
And now it's time to talk about products, which are simply inadmissible in the evening and before bedtime, as they can lead to a set of excess weight, poor sleep and disturbed health. These products include: caffeinated foods, energy drinks, alcohol, legumes, cabbage, pasta, whole milk, onions, zucchini, tomatoes, oranges, plums, cherries, apples and nuts. Some of the above products can cause fermentation in the intestines, others - give green light to the appetite. All of them are under strict prohibition!
Certainly, in order to have a slender figure and avoid problems with digestion, it is worth giving rest to your stomach. But sometimes the feeling of hunger can be very intrusive. In the evening, the appetite is much more active than in the day. This is because during the day we are busy with all sorts of things that do not leave us any time to think about food.
Many of us even after a hearty dinner like to drink tea with all sorts of goodies or chew an apple. All this comes from boredom, not from hunger.
To eat less during dinner, half an hour before him drink unsweetened yogurt. As a result of the fact that the brain will be deceived by such a snack, the amount eaten at dinner will decrease dramatically.
Few people know that a person is peculiar to have eyes. If you vary the vespers menu, you can eat much faster. Lovers of sweets should remember that their use instead of dinner is unacceptable and harmful.
Of course, eating at night or giving up this habit is a very personal matter. But if you still decide to "freeze the worm" at night, let your snack be useful and easy!
