Getting the best out of the Lazu Keto 21 Day Challenge isn’t just about the food you put in your mouth.
It is generally recommended to avoid eating within three hours before going to bed. There are three main reasons for this suggestion.
- Digestive Energy: When you eat, your body focuses its energy on digesting the food, which can make you feel sleepy but also diverts energy away from the rest of your body.
- Heartburn and Acid Reflux: Lying down after eating can cause issues such as heartburn and acid reflux.
- Hormonal Disruption: Eating triggers the release of certain hormones, including insulin, which can disrupt your sleep-wake cycle and make it more difficult to fall asleep.
While keto food may be tasty, it’s best to avoid overindulging.
Sleep is crucial for maintaining physical and mental health and significantly impacts our well-being.
- Hunger Hormone Balance: Sufficient sleep helps maintain a healthy balance of hunger hormones, aiding in weight management.
- Physical Health: Lack of sleep is linked to increased risks of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke.
- Immune System: Sleep strengthens the immune system and a deficiency can weaken our defenses against illnesses.
- Cognitive Function: Sleep deprivation can lead to slower reaction times, decreased focus, and a higher likelihood of making mistakes.
To benefit from sleep, aim for 7-8 hours of good quality sleep every night. Establishing a regular sleep routine, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and practicing relaxation techniques can improve sleep quality and duration. And remember, no eating within three hours before bed.
