Eating certain foods in the evening can cause sleep problems, experts warn.
We'll tell you about five foods that you shouldn't eat between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM.
What you shouldn't eat before bed
Firstly, insomnia can be caused by eating dark chocolate in the evening.
It contains large amounts of the natural stimulants caffeine and theobromine.
Secondly, experts do not recommend eating dishes with onions for dinner.
This product may cause gastrointestinal problems, namely acid reflux and bloating.
Thirdly, it is strictly forbidden to drink protein shakes before going to bed.
They take a long time to digest. Protein should be consumed exclusively in the morning.
Fourthly, eating fermented vegetables (sauerkraut, kimchi) for dinner can lead to insomnia.
Because they contain a lot of probiotics, they may cause digestive problems.
In addition, aged cheeses (Gouda, Brie, Parmesan) should be excluded from the evening menu.
They are rich in tyramine, an amino acid that stimulates the release of norepinephrine.
