Is Sugar After 8 p.m. Wrecking Your Sleep
If you have ever blamed stress or bad luck for a terrible night’s sleep, dietitians say you may be missing the real culprit hiding in your evening routine. New research shows that late night added sugar can short-circuit the hormones that help your brain wind down, spike cortisol when your body expects melatonin, and even disrupt the deepest phases of sleep. The twist is that it is not just what you eat but when you eat it that determines whether you wake up refreshed or restless. Experts reveal why the simple act of cutting off sugar at a certain hour could transform your sleep quality and which bedtime snacks actually support your body instead of sabotaging it.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Taking a brief walk after meals can help improve digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels. Even a 10-minute stroll supports healthy metabolism, reduces bloating, and gives your body a gentle energy boost. It's a simple habit with powerful benefits for long-term health.
