Don't eat these 5 foods before going to bed

Whether you can sleep well at night, what you eat at night is very important. There is a saying in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine that "if the stomach is not in harmony, you will not be able to sleep well"; clinical nutritionists also point out that one of the causes of sleep disorders is eating some "unsuitable" food at dinner. So, what foods are good for sleep at night (sleep foods), and what foods keep you awake at night?

Alcohol

Many people once believed that drinking before bed could promote sleep, but recent studies have shown that although it can help people fall asleep quickly, it keeps the sleep state in the light sleep stage and makes it difficult to enter the deep sleep stage. Therefore, even if a drinker sleeps for a long time, he will still feel tired after waking up.

Foods that have a satiating effect

There are also some foods that produce more gas during the digestion process (digestion of food), which causes abdominal bloating and interferes with normal sleep, such as beans, cabbage, onions, corn, bananas, etc. The editor reminds you: Don’t let “junk sleep” erode your health.

Spicy food

In fact, in addition to this, eating spicy food for dinner is also an important reason that affects sleep. Chili peppers, garlic (garlic foods), onions, etc. can cause a burning sensation in the stomach and indigestion, which in turn affects sleep.

Greasy food

Eating greasy food will increase the workload of the intestines, stomach, liver, gallbladder and pancreas, stimulate the nerve center, keeping it working all the time, and can also cause insomnia.

caffeine

Many people know that caffeinated foods can stimulate the nervous system and have a certain diuretic effect, which is a common cause of insomnia.
