Why You Should Eat Before Bed
Eating before bed actually boosts your metabolism and maintains steady blood sugar, which means, it can actually help you to lose weight! We’ve all been trained to believe that eating before bed leaves our bodies with too many calories that can’t be burned while we sleep, resulting in weight gain. Here lies the problem that always comes up… weight management is about giving the body what it needs when it needs it. Maintaining a healthy level of nutrients not only allows the body to run efficiently and not have to store fats, but it also helps to maintain blood sugar levels and hormone cycles that naturally burn fat.
Eating before bed helps you sleep better throughout the night. A snack before bed can help your body drift off into dreamland peacefully, and also help you to sleep longer throughout the night. Sleep not only influences your energy levels throughout the day, but also affects your immune system, appetite, and cravings, plus your overall metabolism and weight. By giving your body what it needs, just before its primary recovery period, you are truly nourishing your body and helping to balance all of these things out.
Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue. Weight loss can either occur unintentionally due to malnourishment or an underlying disease or arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. "Unexplained" weight loss that is not caused by a reduction in calorific intake or exercise is called cachexia and may be a symptom of a serious medical condition. Intentional weight loss is commonly referred to as slimming.
