What to Eat Before Bed
Although a full meal is not recommended near bedtime, a light snack may curb hunger in the evening. However, some foods can trigger heartburn @articles_in_english and other discomfort, while other foods and beverages may make it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep. Suggested foods to avoid near bedtime include: • Spicy foods • Foods high in fat, such as fried foods, full-fat dairy products, and fatty meats • Acidic foods, such as tomatoes and citrus fruits • Caffeine-containing food and drink, including chocolate, coffee, and tea • Alcohol On the other hand, researchers have found that some foods may help people sleep. • Tart cherry juice: Drinking tart cherry juice in the morning and an hour or two before bedtime may improve sleep length and quality. These effects could be tied to the amount of melatonin, a sleep- inducing hormone, in cherry juice. • Kiwi: A small study found that consuming two kiwifruits before bedtime reduced the time it took for participants to fall asleep and increased overall sleep time, thereby improving sleep quality. These effects may be due to the fruit’s natural antioxidants or to its levels of serotonin, which plays a role in deep sleep. • Walnuts, almonds, and other nuts: Both walnuts and almonds contain high amounts of melatonin, while pistachios and cashews contain tryptophan. Experts suggest that food containing these substances can improve sleep. • Milk and powdered milk: Milk contains both tryptophan and melatonin. A few studies have shown that milk or powdered milk consumption before bedtime may improve sleep quality and insomnia symptoms. People with diabetes who want to prevent low blood sugar during sleep may also benefit from a nighttime snack. Carbohydrates help raise blood sugar quickly. Nighttime carbohydrate snacks should be easily digestible foods such as apples, bananas, or small cookies. However, the appropriate snack types and amounts vary from person to person, so people with diabetes should consult with their health care providers to make informed decisions. Download 202.33 Kb.
