Surely it has happened to you before, that a glass of milk before bedtime caused reflux? Or because you ate a banana late at night, then you couldn't sleep? And there are more things like this that are not clear at first glance... Here we have gathered some healthy foods that affect our health.

Bananas: Don't eat between 8:00 to 10:00

As mentioned, bananas are extremely healthy, but it's not good to start the day with them. Bananas on an empty stomach lower the body's energy, and you will become tired and hungry in an hour or two. Additionally, bananas can cause irritable bowel syndrome, which can lead to diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Eat bananas only during the day: not in the evening and not in the morning.

Coffee: Don't drink it in the morning and not in the evening

Many drink coffee to wake up, which is not true. Coffee reduces sensitivity to caffeine, which has the opposite effect. The process of waking up with coffee is slower, which is not good for digestion. In the first hour after waking up, the body produces cortisol, which coffee strongly disrupts and slows down natural biological processes in the body. So, don't drink coffee in the morning and also not in the afternoon and evening.

Rice: Don't eat in the evening

Rice contains a lot of complex carbohydrates that digest slowly, which is fine, but if you eat it in the evening, all these carbohydrates turn into fat, making rice very fattening. Additionally, it is very caloric, so do not eat it in the evening. This also applies to sushi, rice pudding, and even rice wafers.

Sugar: Don't eat in the morning and afternoon, and not in the evening

Sugar causes a variety of problems, the biggest one being that we consume it mostly in the form of snacks. Not one snack, but several snacks! Today it's really hard to avoid sugar, the problem being that immediately after consumption, blood sugar levels rise sharply, then quickly drop, which makes us tired and nervous. So don't eat sugar when you are at work, although it's not recommended even when you get home, as it makes you gain weight. It really makes you gain weight!

Milk: Don't drink it in the evening

Some people are accustomed to starting the day with a glass of milk from birth, but this habit has negative consequences in the adult world. Milk is hard to digest and causes heartburn and stomach pain. On the other hand, a glass of warm milk before bed calms the body and promotes sleep. So it all depends on your body.

Meat: Don't eat 3 hours before bed

Meat is an excellent source of protein and B vitamins, but it is very taxing on the digestive system. Do not eat meat at least 3 hours before bed due to digestion time. If you eat later, meat becomes a calorie bomb and makes you gain weight. Also, do not include meat in breakfast (applies to meat products as well), as it is extremely heavy food and drains your energy, even before you've started working.

Nuts: Don't eat in the afternoon and evening

Nuts are a source of healthy fats, but they are not the best option in the evening hours. Nut digestion is long, so you will have a hard time falling asleep. If you eat nuts in the morning, you will strengthen your heart, regulate cholesterol, take care of your skin and hair, and even lose weight with them.

Cheese: Be cautious in the evening

A cheese sandwich before bed seems harmless, but it is not. Many cheeses are hard to digest and cause disturbances and discomfort at night (read: bad dreams). On the other hand, a little cheese before bed gives the body the necessary calcium to promote bone and joint regeneration.

Citrus fruits: Never before meals

Citrus fruits are rich in acids, and consuming them increases acid production, which can cause digestive problems. In such cases, the stomach slows down the absorption of nutrients, causing a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, and the sweetness can also make you gain weight. This applies to fresh citrus fruits as well as those in juice. Citrus fruits should always be eaten as a separate snack.

Legumes: Don't eat in the evening

Legumes contain a lot of fiber, so consuming them in the evening causes bloating and poorer sleep quality. Legumes contain many healthy substances that are largely and extremely well absorbed by the body. Just avoid the late hours.

Apples: Don't eat in the evening

An apple is rich in fiber and contains natural acids, which improves digestion and the functioning of the colon. However, if you eat an apple before bed, you may experience problems due to excessive gas and increased stool volume. If this happens before bed, digestion slows down and creates the opposite effect, as it should be. So the best time for apples is in the morning.

Yogurt: Never on an empty stomach and before meals

Yogurt contains lactic acid, which reduces acidity in the stomach and slows down digestion. Yogurt is recommended 1 to 2 hours after a meal, and in the evening, it is very useful because the proteins in it promote muscle regeneration.
