Nutritionists say that before going to bed, you should limit yourself to eating 5 foods and drinks that can harm the body.

TOP-5

1. Pizza

It is number one among the unhealthy overnight foods because it is very fatty, and salty, with spices and hot sauces. The ideal time to eat it is lunch.

2. Chocolate and ice cream, sweets

4. Watermelon and apples

Watermelon is a very tasty, but very diuretic product that should be eaten during the day, but not at night, in order not to harm the body and avoid swelling in the morning. For the same reason, it is better not to eat apples at night.

5. Green tea and coffee, carbonated drinks

Scientists have found that a cup of coffee and green tea before bedtime will cheer you up in 40 minutes and you simply won't want to sleep. The best time for these drinks is in the morning or afternoon.

Carbonated drinks

You shouldn't drink them not only before bed but in general, because they contain so much sugar and flavor stabilizers that can be very harmful to the body.
