(ORDO NEWS) — It is a huge misconception that eating food before bedtime will cause excess weight. Of course, if you consume a huge amount of unhealthy foods, then extra pounds will really appear, but if the diet is healthy, then there is nothing to worry about.

If you want to eat before going to bed, then preference should be given to those foods that contain a lot of proteins. This substance is used by the body in order to repair tissue. This process is especially active at night.
When people go to bed hungry, there is often not enough protein to carry out all the necessary repair work. In addition, during sleep, the body produces growth hormone, the amount of which will also depend on the proteins obtained from food.
With the help of these components, you can also lose weight, because they help improve metabolism. Some of the protein-rich foods can help promote sleep. These include nuts, turkey, fatty fish. They contain the amino acid tryptophan, which activates the production of melatonin. It is also called “sleep hormone”.
A lot of proteins are found in lean meat and poultry, fish, dairy and soy products. Before going to bed, you should not eat unhealthy fats and carbohydrates, which can provoke the appearance of extra pounds. Scientists note that overeating before bed is also prohibited. Dinner should feel like a light snack.
