If You Are Eating These 10 Foods at Bedtime You are Making a Huge Mistake!

It’s nighttime and you have the munchies. You don’t want anything heavy or greasy, no coffee of course since it is bedtime. So we have an idea that there are a few things not to eat, right? Well let’s look at a few more unsuspecting foods just lurking around waiting to play Freddy Krueger to your happy night.

Celery
Unless you are particularly found of getting up to use the bathroom several times a night, forget grabbing this guy. He may have few calories and as a result be a top choice for dieters, however, he’s a diuretic. That means you’re going to go back and forth to the bathroom several times before the sun says you’re done with your bed for the night.

Candy Bars and Candy
The obvious reason why to avoid these would be the sugar. Let’s look a little deeper though. Sugar creates energy BUT….(insert creepy film sound effects) candy and candy bars at bedtime are statistically proven to bring on nightmares.

Red Meat
The problems with eating red meat at bedtime are numerous to be honest. First of all red meat is heavy so you’re going to feel like you have a rock in your belly most of the night. Secondly, because it takes a long time to digest you could be gassy, nauseous and have stomach cramps during the hours of digestion process.

Garlic
Unless you’re vulnerable to vampire attacks, avoid garlic just before bed. It can upset your stomach, induce acid reflex and cause bloating. If that isn’t enough, your partner will thank you for not eating it when giving goodnight smooches.

Dark Chocolate
While dark chocolate is healthy for you in moderation, it’s also about timing of eating it too. Dark chocolate has a high amount of caffeine in it. This is reason enough as caffeine keeps you awake. However, it also contains theobromine, which can make your heart race. Not exactly relaxing, is it? So, save the dark chocolate for the daytime hours when you need a pick-me-up or try white chocolate.
