Dinner should be eaten at least three hours before you go to sleep and it should be the lightest meal of the day.
Here are 4 reasons why you should eat dinner early
1. EATING DINNER LATE INCREASES YOUR BLOOD SUGAR
Eating dinner too close to bed time isn’t good for your health as it increases your blood sugar and insulin, which makes it harder to sleep.
2. WEIGHT LOSS
If you are trying to maintain a healthy weight, it’s important you eat dinner early. When you eat your dinner at least three hours before going to bed, you give your body more time to digest the food. Your body stores excess calories as fat when you eat late.
3. PREVENTS PROBLEMS WITH DIGESTION
Eating dinner early gives your body enough time to digest the food properly thereby lowering the risk of digestive issues like acidity and acid reflux. Sleeping after a meal slows down your digestion, causing you to feel bloated and uncomfortable.
4. BETTER ENERGY LEVELS
Eating dinner early will help you wake up feeling smart and energised. When you eat dinner late, you wake up drained.
