There must be a list of late-night
foods to prevent gaining weight.
If you are so busy with the work that you
have to stay up late, a light meal will provide you with the amount of energy
that you need. And, you should have careful food choices. The followings are
healthy late-night foods that won’t make you fat.
Chicken eggs
According to research, eating eggs as a
late-night snack does not mean unhealthiness; on the contrary, egg is a good
source of nutrients, energy for the nervous system and helps maintain the conscious
state of people who do mental work.
However, eating eggs must be in a right
way; you have to eat cooked eggs because the yolk is healthy, but it has plenty
of harmful bacteria. While eating a raw egg, the bacteria in it will easily
intrude on your body, especially at night when the temperature decreases, causing
digestive disease.

Mineral water
Before drinking, you should heat mineral
water for 3-5 minutes. That’s because when the water is boiled, the harmful
substance in it like chloride, nitrite will be emitted. Drink water while
working will better nervous system activities, improve eyesight, and help you
to be sound of mind.
Vegetables
Vegetables contain a great amount of
vitamin, minerals and other essential nutrients. They also contain water, so
you won’t be thirsty eating them. Besides, vegetables are low-fat and
low-calories, so we can be carefree eating lots of them.
Having dishes of
vegetables at night will be good for digestive system, and won’t cause energy
storage or obesity. Vegetables should be cooked in medium temperature to keep
the vitamins of the vegetables and prevent poisoning.
Whole grains
Whole-grain
toast is a good choice for a late-night meal.
This food has lots of carbohydrate which
helps increase the amount of tryptophan, an acid produce serotonin.
Nevertheless, pasta, French fried and white bread will increase the level of
blood sugar, which leads to poor sleep. Therefore, you should choose foods like
oatmeal, fibrous grains, or whole-grain toast.
Warm milk
Before bed time, drinking a glass of warm
milk is the best sleeping pill. Milk will help you sleep more easily and more
soundly. That’s because milk has tryptophan-a substance causing drowsiness.
Having a glass of warm milk before bed won’t make our weight increase but will
provide calcium to our body.
Chamomile tea
Chamomile
can bring you good sleep.
Chamomile tea is known as the best natural
remedy. Drinking a cup of chamomile tea before going to bed will make your
sleep deeper and more soundly.
On the other hand, to avoid gaining weight
by eating late, you should eat something like wood ears which provide a great
amount of nutrient. But if you eat wood ear at night, the stomach can hardly
absorb the nutrient in it; the nutritious compound will decrease or turn into
toxic. Particularly, you shouldn’t choose seafood like fish, shrimp, octopus to
eat at night because when it isn’t completely digest, it’ll produce degradation
substances and cause damage to liver’s and kidney’s functions. Moreover, seafood
is cold so that you can have stomachache or cold… by eating it at night.
Another thing is that you shouldn’t drink tea at night because it will cause
trouble sleeping; the vitamins in it will be discomposed; cholesterol and sugar
compound will turn into harmful bacteria. Therefore, do not drink tea at night.
