But, have you noticed one thing? Our weight and stomach problems often increase in winter. One feels heaviness as soon as one wakes up in the morning.
The biggest reason for this is not what we are eating, but that we “At what time” Are eating. Health experts believe that our body clock works differently in winter than in summer.

- Deadline: Even if you are very busy, in any case before 9 pm Eat food. The food eaten after this does not generate energy in the body but produces disease.
What happens to the body when we eat late? (Side Effects of Late Dinner)
In winter, we often eat dinner late at night while sitting under the quilt, watching TV and then go to sleep immediately. This habit is dangerous for the body:
- Weight Gain: When you eat late, the body does not get time to burn calories. All those extra calories turn into “fat” and accumulate on your stomach and waist.
- Poor digestion: Food eaten late at night is not digested, it rots. Which causes acidity, gas, heartburn and sour belching.
- lack of sleep: When the stomach is full, the brain is not able to completely go into “deep sleep”, due to which you feel tired in the morning.
- Blood sugar and heart risk: Eating late at night can worsen insulin levels, which invites diabetes and heart diseases.
Why is a gap of ‘2 hours’ important between eating and sleeping?
This is not rocket science. When you eat, gravity helps keep the food down toward your stomach. If you lie down on the bed after eating, the stomach acid comes back into the food pipe. From this Acid Reflux There is a problem of. Therefore, take a walk for 15-20 minutes after eating and go to bed at least after 2 hours.
What to eat for dinner in winter?
Dinner should be light in winter. Khichdi, soup, porridge or moong dal are the best. Eat too much oil, spices or heavy food (like paneer butter masala and naan) in lunch, not in dinner.
So, change your time table from today itself. Dinner at 7:30, a short walk and then the comfort of a quilt – this is the mantra of a healthy winter!
