1. Better digestion:
Late dinner can cause issues like bloating, gas and more. If you eat dinner at the right time it can help promote better digestion and reduce the likelihood of developing these digestive issues.
2. Improves gut health:
Eating a few hours before bedtime helps promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. A healthy gut not only supports digestion but many other functions of the body.
3. Better nutrient absorption:
Having dinner in time gives the body enough time to digest food before bedtime. This helps enhance the absorption of nutrients from the food and allows the body to utilize all essential nutrients for better health.
4. Regulated bowel movements:
According to the nutritionist, early dinners give enough time for the food to move through the digestive system. This helps regulate bowel movements.
5. Say goodbye to acid reflux:
Acid reflux is a common problem that many face due to poor eating habits and wrong meal timings. Early dinners promote better digestion and reduce the chances of developing acid reflux.
