Prioritize eating an EARLY DINNER. I have been a huge advocate of this practice for years and have seen this simple switch make a MASSIVE difference in the health of so many of my patients & students. ⁣ ⁣ Eating late in the evening before bed is a recipe for fat gain, poor long-term health, and sleep disruption. ⁣ ⁣ Our bodies have to divert so much energy towards digesting our food. ⁣ ⁣ When we are sleeping, we want our body's energy to go towards rejuvenation, repair, and detoxification, NOT on digesting your late-night meal. ⁣ ⁣ Having ample time between your last meal and bedtime is also very important for autophagy (cellular clean-up) and inducing a growth and repair mode (anabolism) during our deep sleep cycles. ⁣ If you have made the switch to earlier dinners, tell me about it below! 👇🏼 #healthy #earlydinner #mealtiming #intermittentfasting #fasting #nutrition #qualitysleep #bedtime #repair #rejuvenation #healthtiptuesday #optimize #beyondnutritionbook
