"Midnight Munchies? Try These Healthier Snack Options"

Nutrition experts recommend choosing healthier late-night snacks that include a balance of macronutrients like fat, carbohydrates, and protein, and are easily digestible to maintain blood glucose levels overnight. Foods rich in magnesium, tryptophan, and melatonin, such as nuts, seeds, dairy, and fruits, can support heart, muscle, and bone health, improve sleep quality, and positively impact sleep. Avoiding high-fat, high-sugar, spicy, and acidic foods, and closing the kitchen three hours before bed can also contribute to better sleep and overall health.
