Most of the time, we usually get home, make ourselves comfortable, open the fridge … “What do we have for dinner today?” 🍕

Pizza, hamburger or sandwich with sausage are options that we turn to too often. The result is heavy digestion and a light and not very restful sleep, which does not allow us to rest well. 😰

According to experts, eating food before going to bed causes the body to remain in a state of “high alert”, which stimulates the production of stress hormones, such as adrenaline, and can also alter circadian rhythms. 💝

The digestive system is tired at night, like us, so we need to make digestion at the end of the day easy. The quantities should be little abundant, the dishes little seasoned and the cooking simple. No fried. 🚫 🍟

Salads are suitable for dinner only if we do not suffer from digestive problems, since they are raw vegetables and cost more to digest. On the other hand, vegetable purees hydrate, but they do little work for our digestive system, they do not give us gas (normally), and they are nutritious. 🍵

As a dessert, the banana can also help us. The reason is that it has magnesium and vitamin B6. Now, remember that dessert is indicated to avoid being hungry, but it is not necessary for our dinner to be balanced. 🍌

A relaxing infusion after dinner can contribute to a good night’s sleep. Lemongrass, sage, passionflower, linden, chamomile, lemon balm, hawthorn, albar … There is a choice. In order not to feel like going to the bathroom at night and not interrupting sleep, it is better to try not to drink so much during dinner if we want to take an infusion, and not to drink it just before going to bed. ☕
