best foods to eat before bed

Best Foods to Eat Before Bed

In order for our bodies to be healthy, we need sufficient sleep. Here are the foods that help us sleep:
1. Banana.
Bananas have tryptophan and carbohydrates that help in the production of serotonin. Serotonin relaxes us. It also reduces stress.
2. Eat only a little.
Eat only small amounts of rice, vegetables and fish. It says, “No food intake after 6:00 pm or 7:00 pm”. That's right. We want to digest the food well before you go to bed. Symptoms of hyperacidity and GERD (Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease) can also be reduced.
3. Sweet potato.
Sweet potatoes contain complex “carbohydrates.” They do not increase blood sugar. Sweet potatoes are also rich in fiber, vitamins B6, C and E, folate and potassium.
4. Oatmeal and cereals.
At night, it may not be enough to eat sometimes. Try 1 bowl of oatmeal or cereals at dinner. Oatmeal has vitamin B6 and melatonin that can help you sleep. You can add bananas and milk that are nutritious as well.
5. Milk.
Is drinking milk right for sleeping? Alright. This is because milk contains tryptophan. Tryptophan is a serotonin in the body and it makes us happy and relaxed. You will sleep faster.
6. Chamomile tea.
Hot chamomile tea is an effective antidote. It is good for the stomach, relaxes the stomach muscles, and has a calming effect.
Last tip: After eating at night, walk for 10-15 minutes first. It's to help the body digest what we eat.
You can avoid illness (like nightmare syndrome) and get better sleep. Good luck.

Foods To Avoid Before Sleep At Night

Foods To Avoid Before Sleep At Night

Sleep is important to our body for us to grow and be healthy. So we should be careful what we eat before going to bed.

Here are the foods to avoid at night:

1. Avoid: Pork, beef and fat.
When you have too much meat and fat to eat, it can be hard to digest your stomach. The stomach releases a lot of acid to force it to digest. You can eat meat but little.
2. Avoid: Excessive bows.
There is a saying, "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a poor person." That means reducing eating at dinner. Eat just enough to keep the body from getting tired.
3. Avoid: Spicy and spicy foods such as chili, pepper, hot sauce and curry.
When you eat spicy foods at night, your stomach may ache. A study in Australia shows that hot sauce and mustard enthusiasts are more likely not to sleep at night.
4, Avoid: Drinking alcohol.
There is a misconception that alcohol can help sleep. Yes, you can go to bed at the beginning, but you will wake up at night. You will still have “hang-ups” and headaches in the morning. Alcohol also improves the face and skin because it dehydrates. Even at the age of 30, he can look like 50.
5. Avoid: Coffee and energy drinks.
Drinks with caffeine wake us up. If you love to drink coffee, you may not be able to sleep at night. The effect of energy drinks is even worse because its caffeine content is 4 times as high as coffee. 1 can of energy drink contains 80 milligrams of caffeine.
6. Avoid: Soft drinks.
Aside from caffeine, soft drinks are high in sugar which can cause anxiety. To get a good night's sleep, avoid the aforementioned foods. Good luck.

Which is Nutritious: Chicken, Pork or Beef?

Nutrition for: Chicken, Pork or Beef

Our bodies need protein. But where do we get healthy protein that is not too fat? Typically, two-legged animals are lower in fat than four-footed. Let's see.
Two-legged animals:
The chicken has two legs and is safe to eat. Turkey also has two legs and is one of the healthiest meat. It is low in fat and can be in the diet.
Tips: It can remove the skin to reduce cholesterol. Breast part is healthier. Reduce the use of gravy. In the way of cooking, baking and grilling are healthier.
Four-legged animals:
Pork and beef are higher in saturated fat. The pig has four legs and is rich in fat, such as pork chop and roasted suckling pig skin.
The cow is also high in fat. T-bone steaks and rib-eye steaks have a lot of fat, compared to the "sirloin" and "round" beef portions.
Tips: In pork, fat is separated from the flesh so it is quickly removed. In the case of fat, the fat in the middle of the flesh is hard to remove.
More advice:
You can eat meat from four-legged animals (pigs, cows), but only do it 1 or 2 times a week. The chicken can be eaten more often.
If you have heart disease, high cholesterol or have a stroke, choose meat from a two-legged animal instead of four-legged.
But if you really want to be the healthiest, just choose the animal with no feet and has scales. Of course, these are fish, such as sardines, tilapia and milk-fish that are Omega 3 fillers, so-called good fats.

Compare Foods Nutrition Information

Compare Foods Nutrition Information

For this article, I'm going to give you two meals, and you can choose what is healthier? Let's see if you can guess the right answer.

1. Coffee or tea

Coffee is a wonderful stimulant and has a little help in our memory. But tea also contains catechins, called artery protector, bacterial resistance and cancer resistance. Green tea is high in catechins. If you want to imitate the Chinese and Japanese who have a lower risk of heart attack, try the tea.
Winner: tea or green tea.

2. Fried egg or boiled egg

Usually, fried foods are less healthy than boiled, steamed or roasted. So hard-boiled eggs are healthier and only have 76 calories. But the fried egg weighs 92 calories because of the fat content. Also, hard-boiled eggs are safer than soft-boiled or salted eggs. This is because high temperatures kill salmonella-like bacteria in the egg. Avoid eating raw eggs and only buy eggs at safe stores.
Winner: Hard-boiled egg.

3. Fresh tomatoes or tomato sauce

Tomatoes and tomato sauce are high in antioxidants such as beta-carotene and lycopene. It helps with heart disease, and can lower the chances of prostate cancer and bowel cancer. But lycopene comes from inside the cell wall or tomato cells. First it needs to be cooked and some oil is applied before it can be absorbed by our body. As a result, tomato sauce is healthier.
Winner: Tomato sauce.

4. Pork fat or fish fat

Pork fat and cow's fat have been proven to actually cause cancer and heart disease. However, according to the study, fish fat is good for the body, especially oily fish such as sardines, tuna, mackerel and salmon. This is the type of fat that does not boil and does not rise at room temperature. Omega-3 fish supplements also help normalize our heart rate, and extend our life span.
Winner: Fish fat.

5. Mango or strawberry.

Berries such as strawberries, blueberries and cranberries contain ellagic acid and polyphenols that are anti-cancer. The strawberries are still replete with vitamin B's, vitamin C, vitamin K, minerals, potassium (for the heart) and folate (for the blood). Okay mango because it has vitamin C but did you know that one slice of mango has 207 calories. It's like eating a cup of rice. A cup of strawberry has only 49 calories.
Winner: Strawberry.

Because they are thinner, it is easier for women to be drunk than men.

Many studies have shown that eating tomatoes, tomato sauce or ketchup lowers the risk of heart disease, prostate cancer, and bowel cancer. To get lycopene out of the tomatoes, cook the tomatoes with a little oil. According to experts, we need to eat 10 tablespoons or 150 cc of tomato sauce per week.

6. Red watermelon - According to the US Department of Agriculture, watermelon has benefits in our hearts and roots. Watermelon has been proven to increase arginine levels in our body.
