What not to eat and drink if you have trouble sleeping
Certain foods can disrupt your circadian rhythm and sleep patterns.
In the afternoon or before bed, avoid foods and drinks that contain caffeine.
This includes coffee, green and black tea, chocolate, energy drinks and matcha.
As a rule, caffeine is eliminated by the body for at least 6-8 hours.
Alcohol has a negative effect on your ability to fall asleep and reduces the quality of your sleep.
Sugary and fatty foods can also disrupt sleep. For example, ice cream, cakes, pastries, cookies.
Large amounts of sugar in the blood raise insulin levels, which can cause insomnia.
For the same reason, you should reduce your consumption of baked goods and white bread.
In addition, before going to bed, you should give up fast food: hamburger, pizza, French fries, hot dogs.
In addition, avoid juices, carbonated drinks, and canned foods. They often contain sugars.
For dinner you should cook fatty types of meat - pork, lamb, beef.
Consuming these foods and drinks in the afternoon may contribute to sleep problems.
