Dinnertime Choices Could Keep You Awake at Night

Are your dinner time choices keeping you awake at night?

Are your dinnertime choices keeping you awake at night? Making right choices at the dinner table may help you sleep better. What you eat before bedtime could become problematic. We all know how important sleep is to our overall health. Late night snacks or high fatty foods may keep you awake at night and leave you feeling groggy and fatigued the next day.

Steaks and chops are delicious, but they are high in fat, especially when they are laden with gravies and sauces. Ice cream hits the spot, but again, it is so high in fat. What about a glass of wine or a cocktail? Yes, alcohol can be problematic, too. If you happen to suffer with acid reflux at night, stay clear of tomatoes.

These 5 food items eaten at dinner time will rob you of shut eye and could keep you awake at night:

1. Beef, fatty meats
2. Ice Cream
3. Alcoholic beverages
4. Chocolate
5. Desserts high in sugar
