Do you like gourmet evenings in front of a film? But be careful: snacking at any time is particularly bad for your health. While these little pleasures aren’t harmful in themselves, they can disrupt your sleep and affect your well-being.

Dr. Berrya nutritionist, tells us about the time to avoid cravings and offers you healthy and tasty alternatives.

Why should you avoid snacking after 6 p.m.?

According to Dr. Berry, It is not recommended to snack after 6 p.m., and even more so after 9 p.m. In fact, nocturnal digestion disrupts sleep and can lead to insomnia, nighttime awakenings and a feeling of fatigue upon waking.

Snacking before 6 p.m. would therefore be ideal in case of a small hunger. Fortunately, between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.it’s the perfect time for a snack. Take advantage of it to take a short break, recharge your batteries and regain satiety, without risking disrupting your dinner or your weight.

Far from depriving you of all taste pleasure, the Dr Berry offers to replace the nibbles fat or sweetened by healthy and nutritious snacks who will satisfy your desires without compromising your sleep.

  • Savory side: guacamole with raw vegetables, cucumber with hummus, or even simple hard-boiled eggs

In short, foods rich in proteinsin vitamins and in fibers to regain a real feeling of satiety.

Not forgetting the specialist’s guilty pleasure: dark chocolate, which can be accompanied by almonds.

By swapping your nighttime snacks for these healthy and tasty alternatives, you’ll preserve your sleep and your health for a healthy tomorrow!
