The nutritionist explained that it is better not to eat before bed

American nutrition specialist Erin Palinsky-Wade told what foods are undesirable to eat shortly before a night’s rest. In an interview with Eating Well, she called sweet pastries one of the worst options for an evening snack.

According to the nutritionist, cakes, cakes and cookies are usually made from purified flour, almost devoid of dietary fiber. The carbohydrates contained in such products are quickly absorbed, and a large amount of added sugar contributes to a sharp increase in blood glucose levels.

The expert explained that especially noticeable fluctuations in sugar can occur when eating sweets separately from other products. The combination of carbohydrates with low-fat proteins or sources of healthy fats can slow down their absorption and make the body’s reaction less pronounced.

Palinsky-Wade advised to postpone the consumption of desserts in the first half of the day, when the body usually copes better with carbohydrate load. She also recalled that some types of baking are rich in saturated fats, the excess of which in the diet can adversely affect metabolism.
