7 Foods you should not eat for dinner

Khushi Patel

Spicy Foods

Spicy foods might make it harder to go asleep since they can produce pain, indigestion, and even acid reflux

Highly Processed Foods

Foods heavy in unhealthy fats, processed sugars, and additives can cause blood sugar spikes and interfere with your sleep pattern

Caffeinated Beverages

Caffeine can make it difficult for you to go asleep and stay asleep and can be found in coffee, tea, energy drinks, and even some sodas. It is better to stay away from these drinks in the evening

Alcohol

While alcohol may make you feel sleepy at first, it might interfere with your sleep cycle and cause you to have poor-quality sleep

Heavy or Fatty Foods

When eaten close to sleep, foods heavy in fat take longer to digest, sometimes resulting in pain and indigestion. Fried dishes and lean meat cuts are examples of these

Excessively Spicy Foods

While moderate spice levels are usually acceptable, eating too much spice can make you uncomfortable and disturb your sleep

Large Meals

Large meals eaten right before bedtime may give you indigestion and pain. Try to have your largest meal first thing in the morning and choose a lighter, more balanced dinner later in the day
