The nutrients present in the food make your body well-nourished and gives you better health. But food can also harm your body, if not taken at the right time. You may be surprised to know that some of the common foods that we intake, which are very nutritious are actually causing harm to your body only because you may be taking them during the wrong time of the day.
It is high time to know and learn the right time to take a particular food. The simple knowledge would provide you with a healthy life. After all, we cannot risk our health following the wrong time, can we?
Let’s find out… the right and the wrong time of some of the common foods that we take.
BANANA
The right time to take the banana is Noon!
Being rich in antacids and fibers, banana helps in soothing the heartburn and helps to improve the digestive system. Keeps you energetic and helps you work smoothly throughout the day.
The wrong time to take banana is Night!
I have seen many people taking banana at night after their dinner. Well, you need to stop this habit if you don’t want to make your health worse. It leads to mucus formation, increases your cough and cold. Banana at night also causes acidity especially if taken empty stomach.
CURD
The right time to take curd is Day!
The curd is a probiotic food. It helps in gut health. It helps to improve the digestion process. Take it after your day meals, it will soothe your digestive system.
The wrong time to take curd is Night!
It might be the habit of taking curd at night for many people. But this habit is not at all taking you in any right way. The curd also causes cold and cough when taken at night. It may also affect the respiratory tract.
MILK
The right time to drink milk is Night!
Drinking milk is considered very good for the body. But only if you take it at the right time, it can bring all the benefits to you. The milk requires time to get digested. Taking at night allows it to get absorbed in the cell effectively. Relaxes the body. This is all because at night our body stays in rest.
The wrong time to drink milk is Morning!
Well, it may be shocking for many people to know that milk should be avoided in the morning. It may make you feel lethargic. Your stomach may feel full for a long time as the digestion process of milk gets very slow in the morning.
APPLE
The right time to take apple is Morning!
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Truly said! The apple is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and dietary fiber. Helps to reduce the risk of developing cancer, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease. It is full of health benefits. But must be taken in the morning to get all the benefits.
The wrong time to take apple is Evening or Night!
As the apple is high in organic acid, consuming it at night can cause acid reflux. It may increase the acidity level in the body.
RICE
The right time to take rice is Day!
Rice should be taken during the daytime. You can have it in your lunch. Rice provides fast and instant energy to the body. During the day your metabolism is high, so it is the right time to take it. Rice, if many of you are not aware of, slows down the aging process also.
The wrong time to take rice is Night!
At night, our metabolism is low. So, it takes a longer time to get the digest. The rice contains high starch content, can leave your stomach with bloated sensation through out the night. It promotes weight gain when taken at night.
COFFEE
The right time to drink coffee is Noon!
Coffee lovers may be habituated to have their coffee in the morning. Waking up in the morning and rushing to the kitchen to have it, may not be a good idea. It is also not preferred to have it at night too. You should take it during noon time (1:30 to 5 pm). Or have it after 1-2 hours after waking up (preferable, 9:30 to 11:30 am). The cortisol level plummets during these times. And the cup of coffee would work like a charm during those times. Allows the body to naturally energize itself.
The wrong time to drink coffee is Night/Early morning!
Drinking coffee at night time can irritate your digestive system, make you feel restless. It is all because of the caffeine content.
PULSES AND BEANS
The right time to take pulses and beans is Night!
They are rich in dietary fibers. If taken at night, they will improve digestion. Also, lower the cholesterol levels. Help to give you good sleep. Even I was surprised when I read that !!
The wrong time to take pulses and beans is Morning!
Taking them in the morning will increase your appetite and cause you to eat more. This is applicable for all fibrous foods. They should be avoided in the morning.
Take the right food at right time and make yourself healthier and more beautiful.
