Some of the foods that you should avoid eating late at night will be discussed in this post.

1. Eba (“Swallow”)

Many Nigerians would starve without this staple of Nigerian cuisine. Because it is prepared using garri, it is known by other names among different tribes. But here's the catch: While it may satisfy your hunger, this meal may be difficult to digest. The result could be abdominal fat and sleeplessness.

The constipation that it sometimes produces is a real health risk.

As a high-carbohydrate meal, eba is also a calorie dense food. If you're trying to lose weight, these calories could be counterproductive.

Although pounded yam is safe to eat before bed, it's not a good idea to eat anything else that needs to be swallowed.

2. Beans

Like rice, beans are one of those foods that most people can't live without. Beans, according to studies, are an excellent source of both protein and growth-promoting carbohydrates for the body.

If you consume beans late at night, especially with bread or garri, you may get indigestion and constipation.

Though eating beans for dinner could satisfy your hunger, the pain you might experience is not necessarily a plus. You may have to get up several times during the night to urinate or go to the bathroom.

3. Pepper soup

Likewise, this is a staple in Nigerian households and is highly regarded. For a traditional Yoruba supper, you can pair it with yam, cooked plantain, rice, or cornmeal (Eko). A lot of people think of pepper soup as a light dinner to eat before bed, but they don't realize that the pepper and spices in it could keep them awake. This is a dish that many Nigerians wish they could eat at all hours of the day and night, but be warned that doing so could be fatal.
