The Importance of Food Quality Before Bed for Better Sleep

The podcast discusses how the quality of food consumed before bed can impact sleep. The glycemic load of carbohydrates and the amount of protein in the food play a significant role in the glycemic roller coaster experienced during sleep. Eating foods that raise blood sugar and body temperature can lead to disrupted sleep. It is generally recommended to avoid eating large amounts of protein and foods that cause a spike in blood sugar before bed, as they can negatively affect sleep quality.
