Drawing on graph: As dinner's time affects sleep, weight and health

In the modern rhythm of life, we are used to counting calories, considering the composition of products and studying labels. But do we consider when we eat? It turns out that for health, energy, sleep and even weight loss it is equally important to have a time when we have dinner.

Studies show: nutrition, metabolism and biorhythms are closely linked. Early dinner is not just a habit, but a real tool for improving your well -being. People suffering from reflux, heartburn, irritable intestinal syndrome, bloating or discomfort after eating are often recommended to stop consuming food at least three hours before bedtime.

Early dinners can also be useful for diabetics as they help to better control blood glucose. And yet - for those who want to lose weight. The reason is not only that in the evening we are moving less. When we eat late, we extend the "food window" - that is, the period when the body receives food. This causes our digestive system to work without interruption, and takes the time it takes to burn fat and restore cells.

Experts believe that the optimal time for dinner is between 19:00 and 20:00. If dinner occurs at 21:00 or later - the body does not have time to "turn off" and sleep becomes less quality.

What should not be eaten before bedtime?

Regardless of dinner, some foods that harm both digestion and sleep should be avoided:

  • Oily food (fried, fast food, fatty meat): difficult to digest, causes a feeling of heaviness.

  • Caffeine (coffee, energy, chocolate): excites the nervous system, complicates falling asleep.

  • Alcohol : Although it can cause drowsiness, impairs sleep quality and disrupts biorhythms.

Refusing late dinner is a simple step that can have a deep effect. Health begins not only with a plate, but also with a clock.
