A nutritionist has listed acceptable snacks before bedtime

Nutritionist and nutritionist Irina Pisareva told us what products to snack on before bedtime.

According to the expert, when you feel hungry, refusal to eat can negatively affect the quality of sleep and lead to difficulties in falling asleep. Often you can confuse the feeling of hunger with thirst. It is worth drinking a glass of water and observe whether the desire to snack has disappeared. If it has not disappeared, Pisareva advised to choose light snacks for a snack.

"For example, make an omelet or snack on a small amount of protein product, such as sugar-free yogurt or cottage cheese," Pravda.Ru quoted her as saying on January 15.

The nutritionist emphasized that portions should be small and not include sweet additives like berries or jam.

In order not to feel hunger before going to bed, the expert urged to properly organize dinner, which should be light. It can consist of a small piece of fish or chicken, stewed or baked vegetables. Potatoes and risk in the evening meal is better not to include.

December 20, doctor Vera Serezhina warned that fresh fruits in the evening or before bedtime can harm the body. They contain a large amount of fructose - a natural sugar that the body processes into glucose, because of this blood sugar levels can rise sharply. This can lead to insulin spikes and strain on the pancreas. As a result, a person will experience insomnia and heartburn, reports 360.ru.

In November, endocrinologist Oksana Mikhaleva said that the refusal of breakfast can cause serious health problems. This leads to evening overeating, which is fraught with problems with overweight, obesity and the development of type 2 diabetes, RT writes.

Also in November, endocrinologist, nutritionist Anton Polyakov warned that nighttime snacking can lead to the development of pancreatitis. The specialist emphasized that eating at night can provoke various digestive problems, so you should have dinner no later than three hours before bedtime.
