In our busy lives, takeaway has become a regular dinner for many people. Imagine those takeaway guys, one delivery is a day, and many people have stomach problems because of irregular diets.
Among them, eggplant, a delicious vegetable, although loved by many people, may cause discomfort at night when consumed in excess. First of all, we need to understand the nature of eggplant. Eggplant contains more vitamin P, which is excellent for protecting our blood vessels, but it is also a vegetable with more fiber.
Consuming a lot of fiber at night, especially if you're inactive, can cause stomach upset or worsen stomach problems.
Imagine a programmer who works a lot of overtime, doesn't have dinner until 9 p.m., and he likes to eat a lot of eggplant fried rice. At first, he found the eggplant to be delicious and filling up quickly. But gradually, he began to feel heavy discomfort in his stomach at night, because the fiber in the eggplant increased the burden on his stomach at night when he was almost inactive.

Another college student who often stays up late to read books likes to eat an eggplant pot after dinner to satisfy his hunger. At first, he thought that the nutrition of eggplant could help him learn better. However, it wasn't long before he felt the same discomfort in his stomach.
Especially when he sits for a long time, his stomach has to process a large amount of eggplant, which directly affects the quality of his sleep. Let's take a look at another freelancer who is very productive at night and often prepares some eggplant with rice for dinner. While it was her quick meal choice, she also gradually noticed that after eating the eggplant in the evening, her stomach began to burn and even had a slight acid reflux at times.
These examples show us that eggplant is good, but it should not be eaten in excess at dinner. Eating too many fiber-rich foods, such as eggplant, can put more strain on the stomach, especially when we need rest the most during the day.
Next, let's talk about some other vegetables that you may want to avoid at dinner, especially for those looking to keep their stomach healthy. Eating the right food for dinner, especially the choice of vegetables, is really crucial, as the wrong food can put unnecessary strain on your stomach during a good night's sleep.
First of all, many people like to have a large salad at dinner, thinking that it is healthy and can lose weight. You think, after a long day on the go, and at night, your stomach needs gentle, easy-to-digest food.
Raw and cold vegetables, such as lettuce and cucumbers, especially in the cold season, can easily cause stomach upset and even stomach pain. For example, a white-collar worker in the office often works late and only wants a quick dinner when he comes home, so he casually eats some raw salad from the refrigerator.
At first, he thought it was quick and healthy, but soon after, he began to feel a lot of cold in his stomach at night, and sometimes a slight ache. This is a direct consequence of raw and cold food.
Let's talk about legumes, such as beans and edamame. Legumes are a great source of plant-based protein, rich in fiber and nutrients, but they also contain some complex sugars that are difficult to digest and are prone to gas, which may cause bloating or stomach upset when eaten at night.
A friend who often does outdoor sports likes to eat some beans or boiled edamame after dinner, which he thinks can replenish the energy burned during the day. However, he soon discovered that after eating these foods at night, not only did his stomach feel uncomfortable, but he often had stomach bloating.
We also have to mention vegetables that are high in fiber, such as celery and broccoli. These vegetables contain a lot of insoluble fiber, which is very beneficial for maintaining gut health on a daily basis, but you have to think about it when you eat it at night.
These high-fiber vegetables may overwork the stomach at night, especially for those who already have chronic stomach conditions, and may exacerbate stomach symptoms.
For example, there is a fitness enthusiast who does yoga regularly, and in order to stay healthy, he often eats a lot of celery and broccoli for dinner. But what she didn't notice was that eating like this at night was weighing on her stomach, and she often woke up in the middle of the night feeling sick to her stomach.
From these examples, we can see that what kind of vegetables to choose for dinner is not only a matter of taste, but also a healthy choice. A mild, easy-to-digest dinner will not only help you sleep better, but it will also give your stomach plenty of rest and prepare for the next day's vitality.
In the evening, try to choose some warm, easily digestible vegetables, such as pumpkin, carrots, etc., which can make your stomach more comfortable.
Many people ignore that the morning is an excellent time to regulate the stomach, in fact, at the beginning of the day, if you can do these few things, the protective effect on the stomach is very significant.
It is also helpful to do a moderate amount of gymnastics after waking up in the morning. Gymnastics can be simple stretching or light chores like making beds, sweeping floors, etc. Not only will these activities help you wake up, but more importantly, it can promote gastrointestinal motility and help waste accumulated during the night to be better excreted from the body.
This kind of physical activity is especially beneficial for those who often feel heavy in their stomachs or have indigestion. For example, there is a retired veteran teacher who spends ten minutes every morning doing house gymnastics.
Not only did she find that it made her feel energized throughout the day, but the morning upset she used to have was now almost gone. Finally, some mild, easy-to-digest breakfasts, such as oatmeal, steamed eggs, or soft bread, are great options.
Not only do these foods provide long-lasting energy, but more importantly, they are less irritating to the stomach, helping our stomach to be nourished and lay a good foundation for a day's work and life.
For example, a writer with perennial stomach problems changed his breakfast habits from fried food to oatmeal and steamed eggs. He found that not only did this make his stomach feel comfortable, but his writing efficiency also improved significantly. With these simple morning habits, we not only protect our stomach health, but also strengthen the function of our entire body to keep ourselves energized throughout the day.
So, don't underestimate these little habits, stick to them, and they can give you unexpected health benefits. This lifestyle change, while simple, is effective and easy for everyone to do.
