Although the habit of eating before bed is not good, you also need to know how to choose healthy foods to help promote sleep and avoid weight gain.
Yogurt

Yogurt is an excellent source of calcium, which is known for keeping your bones strong, helping you sleep better. Eating yogurt at night can help reduce hunger the next morning. If yogurt is your snack of choice, choose plain and pair it with unsweetened fruit. Pistachios Pistachios stand out among other nuts due to their high sleep-promoting melatonin content. Although all plant foods are said to naturally contain this substance, few have as much as pistachios. Strawberry Strawberries are very healthy without a lot of calories. This fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and contains a notable amount of melatonin. Cherry Some studies show that cherries can help you sleep better. What’s more, they have anti-inflammatory benefits and may protect against inflammation-related conditions like arthritis and heart disease. In a recent study, a small group of older women with insomnia drank 240ml of pure cherry juice with breakfast and 1-2 hours before bedtime. After two weeks, these people slept almost 1.5 hours more at night. Sweet potato Steamed or boiled sweet potatoes contain a small amount of starch but are rich in amino acids, calcium, zinc and other vitamins. This food has a good support in the process of weight loss and helps skin elasticity better. Eating 1 boiled sweet potato every night helps the body lose 5-7kg/month without losing too much energy. Note: Try to have dinner or a snack two to three hours before bed. Avoid fatty foods to stay healthy. Truc Chi (th)
