5. Rice
Wrong Way: Consuming excessive amounts of white rice, especially for dinner.
Right Way: Choose brown rice over white rice, especially at lunch.
Why: Brown rice provides more fiber and nutrients, leading to slower digestion and sustained energy. White rice causes quick blood sugar spikes, especially when less active in the evening.
6. Cheese
Wrong Way: Eating cheese right before bed.
Right Way: Enjoy cheese earlier in the day in moderation.
Why: Cheese is high in fat and protein, making it slow to digest, which can disrupt sleep for some individuals.
