Conquer Midnight Munchies: Your Guide to Nighttime Food Discipline

UmmeSalama Arsiwala — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 05:20:49 +0000

There’s nothing worse than going the whole day eating healthy foods, only to find yourself starving at 10 pm in front of the TV with a bag of chips and a pint of ice cream.

Despite of your willpower to wake up with a bowl of oatmeal, it seems that once the sun goes down, we sabotage our healthy eating habits and indulge in the good stuff. When it comes to eating habits, many people need to combat their late night eating habits.

“Typically, snacking at night is not caused out of hunger but rather boredom,” says Rene Ficek, RD. “Additionally, the type of food that is snacked in is usually high calorie, indulgent food items like ice cream, cake, chips, etc.”

This can result in unwanted weight gain, interrupted sleep patterns, as a large meal right before bed can cause restlessness as your body works on digesting the food.

Next time you feel yourself headed to the kitchen for a late-night treat, try one of the below six tips to stop eating at night.

1. Don’t Skip Meals

If you aren’t eating enough well-balanced meals throughout the day, you may find yourself hungry at night. “Eat three, well balanced meals every day, and include two snacks,” says nutritionist Andrea Cox.

Consume enough proteins and carbohydrates to help keep you satiated and prevent you from getting hungry at night.

2. Hydrate Yourself

Dehydration is often mistaken for hunger, so if you find yourself craving for a midnight snack, identify your thirst. “Drink unsweetened liquids instead: water, carbonated water, herbal tea,” says Lori Chong, RD .

3. Start A New Habit

Try finding something to replace late night cravings with something that brings you enjoyment and relaxation. It could be playing a game on your phone, online shopping, reading, etc. You want to mimic the feeling of relaxation and enjoyment you get with food to something else.

4. Brush Your Teeth

Signify to yourself that you are done eating for the night by brushing your teeth once you have finished dinner. Not only will this put you in the mindset that bedtime is soon, but no one wants to have to brush their teeth all over again, which will discourage you from breaking into late night foods.

5. Sit When You Eat

“Sit down and eat, and let mealtime be an experience.” Take time to enjoy your food as opposed to mindless eating on the run.

This will keep you from constantly grabbing snacks from the pantry or peeking open the fridge, and will instead force you to become mindful of what you are consuming.

6. Eat A Sleep-Promoting Snack

If you truly feel hungry, consider eating a small snack that will help you to sleep. “Fruits are a great late night snack choices because they’re typically low-calorie, low-fat, and high in fiber,”

“For example, eat a banana for a bedtime boost of potassium and vitamin C. Cherries are another good choice; they’re rich in vitamin C and potassium and are a natural producer of melatonin, which helps you sleep.”

Five simple ways to improve your eyesight

Fitness India Show — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 09:05:18 +0000

Maintaining good eye health is crucial for having unobstructed, clear vision, in the long run.

However, given the unhealthy environment surrounding us, fast-paced lifestyles, and bad eating habits we’ve developed, our eyes remain at a significant risk.

Rest assured, a healthy lifestyle and good diet can help you maintain strong eyesight.

Here are five natural ways to help improve your eyesight.

Diet: Mind what you put on your plate

Certain vitamins, including Vitamin A, C, and E, and minerals like zinc and copper, are essential for good eyesight.

Carrots, broccoli, spinach, strawberries, and citrus fruits are great sources of all these vitamins and minerals, and green/yellow vegetables, in general, are beneficial for your eyes.

Furthermore, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, nuts etc. can also help.

Perform easy eye exercises to improve eyesight

Performing eye exercises regularly can go a long way in giving you good eyesight.

Rubbing, warming, gentle eye massages are a few such exercises.

Additionally, staying physically fit is important, especially if you’re overweight or obese, since obesity increases the risk of developing Type-2 diabetes which, in turn, can damage the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, thus affecting eyesight.

Get proper and enough rest regularly

Enough quality rest is instrumental in maintaining good eyesight.

Sleep helps your eyes to repair and recover from the stress of the day and continued exposure to computer screens.

One should aim for sound, undisturbed, 7-9 hours of sleep each night to improve eyesight.

Frequent mini-breaks and power-naps during the workday also go a long way in providing some much-needed rest to your eyes.

Use protective eye-wear to avoid damage

When working in environments harmful for your eyes, like a laboratory or a garage, wearing appropriate protective eye-gear is a must.

Additionally, when heading out during the day, consider wearing good quality sunglasses. This will help protect your eyes from the harmful UVA and UVB radiation from sunlight.

Also, go for regular eye checkups and see if there’s a need for spectacles or not.

Quit unhealthy lifestyle habits to protect your eyes

Unhealthy lifestyle habits are also known to adversely affect eye health.

Smoking, among other harms, significantly raises your risk of developing cataract and age-related macular-degeneration.

Fortunately, however, your eyes, lungs, and other body parts start recovering from tobacco-induced damages fairly soon after you quit smoking.

So quit now, if you want yourself (and your eyes) to live a healthy and long life.
