There is a widespread belief that you should not eat before going to bed.
It is believed that late meals can interfere with normal sleep and cause excess weight.
But what should you do if hunger makes itself known late in the evening?
We have good news for those who want to maintain a slim figure: you can still eat before bed.
But you need to pay attention not to heavy foods, but to certain products that promote satiety, improve sleep, but do not lead to obesity.
Grapefruit
This citrus fruit is good for two reasons.
Firstly, it is very low in calories.
Secondly, the fruit contains compounds that have a positive effect on metabolism and improve sleep.
All this makes grapefruit an ideal food for a late evening meal.
Nuts
Do you feel hungry before bed, but don’t want to eat fruit?
There is a way out: eat a handful of walnuts.
In this case, you will not only get rid of the feeling of hunger, but also fall asleep without problems and sleep well. The fact is that the vitamins and omega-3 contained in the product help improve sleep.
Milk
There is another good option: before going to bed, you can drink a glass of milk.
The compound in the drink, called tryptophan, helps you relax. Your sleep will be peaceful.
Important: do not drink cold milk before going to bed. Warm the drink first.
Earlier we explained why you shouldn't drink a lot of black tea.
