Introduction: With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the life of fighting at night has become more and more colorful, during the day because of the busy work, there is no time for themselves, but after the night, you can have time to release yourself.

For those who love food, the name and location of each snack street can be memorized, and they will not live up to every food, and if they don't eat a little before going to bed, they can't even sleep.

There are also some people who are more self-disciplined, can resist the temptation from food, can fall asleep on an empty stomach, although they will always wake up hungry halfway through sleep, but at this time they are also in a willing state, because this will not make themselves fat.

So which of these two extreme diets is more harmful to the body? Today I will take you to understand clearly, I hope you will not be entangled after reading it.

What are the dangers of eating a late-night snack before going to bed?

Causes obesity

If you eat a late-night snack before going to bed at night, there will be a certain feeling of fullness when you get up early on the second day, which is actually a function of the stomach at work.

And night snacks are generally high-salt, high-fat, high-sugar foods, this type of food into the body, will be broken down into fat and calories for storage.

If you fast for a long time, it is not easy to cause the body to accumulate too much fat, which will lead to obesity and other problems.

Cause nutritional metabolism imbalance

Late-night snacks are generally high-fat and high-carbohydrate foods, and often eating this type of food will easily lead to the body's nutrient intake and cause abnormal nutrient metabolism.

At the same time, it will also easily lead to calcium loss, increase the occurrence of problems and other problems, eating late-night snacks before going to bed will easily increase the risk of diabetes and symptoms.

It will also easily bring about sleep deprivation and metabolic disorders, and in severe cases, it will easily increase immune phenomena, and it will easily induce nutritional metabolism diseases.

Makes brain memory worse

Eating a late-night snack before going to bed will not only easily increase the risk of obesity, but also easily make the brain's memory worse.

And relevant studies in the United States have found that eating a late-night snack before going to bed will reduce the level of serotonin in the brain, which will easily affect people's memory.

Researchers in the United States believe that serotonin in sleep can keep people remember and wake up, and the lack of this substance will easily make people fatigue, memory loss, insomnia, dizziness and other symptoms.

Affects vascular health

Studies have found that people who eat late-night snacks at least three times a week have about 46% higher risk of heart disease than other diets.

In addition, researchers believe that long-term high-cholesterol eating habits will easily cause harm to arterial blood vessels, and eating high-fat foods often will easily increase cholesterol levels.

If you can't quit the habit of eating late-night snacks before going to bed, you need to take some measures to reduce the risk of heart disease as much as possible.

Is it healthier to "go to bed hungry"?

In fact, if you go to bed hungry at night, it will also easily bring trouble to your health.

After all, the body needs energy and nutrients every day and does not eat a certain meal, and does not eat more at other times, at this time there must be insufficient intake of nutrients and energy.

If you do not eat dinner at night, other living habits will remain unchanged, and it will easily lead to malnutrition in the long run, such as physical exhaustion, mental malaise, dull face, depression and other symptoms.

These symptoms are all manifestations of malnutrition, and for patients with some special diseases, skipping dinner will have a greater impact on health.

For example, patients with peptic ulcer problems are likely to aggravate the ulcer problem, and for those who work during special hours, there is no way to get the energy source for continuous work without eating at night, and it will be easy to make themselves unable to devote themselves to work.

Under normal circumstances, only two kinds of people can "go to bed hungry"

1. People who eat a lot before dinner

If you eat a lot of food at lunch and don't exercise at night, you can choose not to eat dinner at this time.

2. People with higher weight who need to be controlled

If the weight level is high, or even has reached the "obesity" line (BMI>28), it is necessary to properly control the dietary intake at this time, limit calorie intake, and occasionally choose one or two meals without dinner during the control of weight loss.

"Eat supper before bed" or "go to bed hungry", which is more harmful? Don't get tangled up after reading it

After reading the above content, perhaps everyone has understood the answer to this title, that is, no matter which behavior, it will easily affect the individual's physical health.

Eating late-night snacks before going to bed will not only easily bring obesity problems, but also easily cause nutritional metabolism imbalance in the body, affect cardiovascular health, and easily make immunity and memory decline.

Sleeping hungry will also affect physical health, not only will easily bring malnutrition, but also affect gastrointestinal health, affect sleep quality, and will easily accelerate the advent of aging.

Therefore, whether it is eating a late-night snack before going to bed or going to bed hungry, it will easily bring trouble to health, and the impact of these two behaviors on the body can also be regarded as indistinguishable.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that we must avoid these two bad habits as much as possible in daily life, and learn to eat dinner healthily, so that we can effectively maintain health and maintain a perfect weight and avoid damage to our health.

If you plan to fast lightly, learn the right way and remember a few things

1. If you want to fast, choose not to eat dinner, try to go to bed some breakfast, eat some lunch later, you can choose to eat at 2:00 p.m., as much as possible to eat more hunger-resistant high-quality carbs, such as sweet potato whole wheat bread, brown rice, etc., eat less noodles, rice porridge and other easily digested and absorbed carbohydrates;

2. If you want to implement a 5+2 light fasting weight loss method, at this time, you should choose to properly consume fruits, protein foods, dairy products, but the calories should be less than usual, if you feel particularly hungry, you can drink a little pimple soup or lotus root powder;

3. For those special groups, such as thin people, the elderly after the age of 70, patients with tumors or mental diseases, do not reduce food intake at this time, and do not consider fasting for women who are breastfeeding and pregnant.

All in all, whether you eat dinner or not, everyone needs to fall asleep earlier, mainly because they feel particularly hungry because they are hungry, in fact, they can eat a little healthy late-night snack, which can effectively reduce the impact on the body, and it is better than falling asleep hungry all the time.
