Pay attention to the choice of food before going to bed, especially don't eat spicy food, because it will affect sleep. In addition, avoid eating pre-processed cooked food, because it contains some chemicals, which may not be suitable for everyone. Avoid eating high-sugar foods, such as flour, sugar and sugary foods, such as chocolate and cakes, which will increase the volume of the stomach and make it swell. Similarly, high-fat foods may also increase the stomach volume, so fried foods and cheese should also be avoided. In addition, some foods, such as raw vegetables, salads, fruits, etc., will cause excessive irritation to the stomach and affect sleep.
A diet conducive to sleep:
Some foods have a calming effect, such as potatoes and rice. In addition, foods that can produce tryptophan are also helpful to sleep, such as eggs, meat, fish, bananas, peanuts and dried cheese, because tryptophan can be converted into melatonin, which helps to regulate sleep. Milk helps sleep because it contains tryptophan, but people who are allergic to milk should avoid quoting it. Drinking too much water at night should be avoided to reduce the frequency of urination at night, especially for the elderly with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
