When I was a lad (and old Shep was a pup)it was said that one should not eat a Banana before Bed Time, as they are difficult to digest, my wife also has a very bad time if she eats Cucumber late at night .Does anyone else know of this problem.or find anythig else that is bad foodwise late at night. Cheers In A Mo.
Bananas, cucumber, spicy foods - all known to cause indigestion in some people. Apart from antacids, the only way to stop it, is to refrain from eating these foods, particularly before bedtime.
Best not to eat anything before bedtime as the body will be spending vital energy on digesting food when it should be using all it's energy to repair and build you during your sleep!
Cheese is legendary for giving you bad dreams at night. Bananas are very quick digesting & energy giving , which is why you`ll see Wimbledon Championship players eating them in between games - so perhaps not best going to bed - great with Weetabix for breakfast, though! Cucumber skin will "repeat" on you anytime of day, so much as I love it`s taste (& nutrients) I now peel it Obviously anything with caffeine in it.
