9 Foods You Should Not Eat Before Going To Bed by LIC3ion(m): 1:03pm On Sep 08, 2014
1. Pizza and Pasta
Avoid eating pizza and pasta right before going to bed, because these meals are pretty heavy and rich in calories; eating this kind of food would give your tummy a real workout at night! When you sleep, your body relaxes and rests, so does your stomach, as well as other organs. So eating pasta and pizza will definitely enlarge your love handles.
2. Coffee
If you want to drink something before hitting your cozy pillow, definitely, don't go for coffee. Infact, coffee is a stimulant that has a prolonged effect on the body (it's effect will last for many hours) so that you won't be able to sleep and rest properly; if you want to indulge yourself with a cup of tasty expression, do it in the morning.
3. Ice cream
Ice cream is loaded with fats and sugar, it's an absolute weight gaining bomb! When you inject sugar and fats into your body (by eating ice cream) before going to sleep, your system won't be able to burn this explosion of calories and will store them in your waistline for future use. You don't want to be obessed.
4. Cheese
One of the worst foods to eat at night is cheese, especially for those who suffer from heartburn.Make plans to enjoy your favourite cheese during daytime instead.
5. Cookies and Cakes
These are similar to ice cream story. Packed with fats and sugar and various sweets such chocolate will give you buzz at the wrong time. At night, your body want toil relax and don't want that energizing sugar kicking. On the other hand, chocolate contains caffeine and can act as a stimulant.
6. Beef and Bacon burgers
You don't need a bulk of calories right before bed! Remember, the production of acid in your stomach will provoke very uncomfortable and unpleasant heartburn. Therefore, if chicken nuggets, french fries, onion nigs and big macs appear in your mind when you are heading to bed, kick off these thoughts from your head straight away and drink a glass of water.
7. Alcohol
It aggravate snoring, and gives "terrible" sleepless night, you will wake up multiple time for no particular reason. Prior to sleep, forget that wine, vodka, or champagne. Just take a glass of water or milk. .
8. Soda
Soda, as well as energy drinks are definitely to be avoided when getting ready for a good night rest. Soda drinks contain certain chemicals which can aggravate the gastrointestinal tract, there soda should absolutely be avoided at bed-time. If you feel thirsty, the best decision is a glass of water.
9. Spicy delicacies
Foods with the use of salsa, mustard and spicy peppers are not the best choice for a bed-time snack! These type of meals can cause strong heartburn and can prevent you from peacefully falling asleep because of their energy boosting effects.
