Carbohydrates are too heavy to eat at night, they don’t let your body relax and promote that heaviness.
Red meat: like carbohydrates, it takes much longer for the body to digest it.
Fats: foods with a high content of not good fats such as fried foods and junk food do not let the body or brain rest and promote weight gain.
Those who DO
Fruits: they are tremendously beneficial for falling asleep due to their high content of vitamins, particularly those with vitamins B and C (kiwi, orange, tangerine). These vitamins help the body maintain magnesium levels that are involved in GABA, a neurotransmitter that inhibits the nervous system that allows you to have a deep sleep.
Milk: drinking a glass of warm milk before bed relaxes the body and helps the brain rest.
Nuts: these fats, being “good”, do promote body relaxation. Care must be taken not to abuse them in quantity because although they are beneficial, their caloric content is very high.
Wine: its high content of antioxidants acts by calming the body and brain. Specialists suggest a consumption of half a glass of wine at dinner.
