Weight Loss: Losing weight is quite challenging, but it can be made easy by adopting the right habits. Most people pay attention to diet and exercise, but small mistakes made at night spoil their hard work.
If you also want to lose weight, then you can get better results by adopting some special habits (Bed Time Habits for Weight Loss) before sleeping. Let us know 5 things to do every day before sleeping for weight loss.
Have a light and nutritious dinner
Dinner should always be light and easily digestible. Heavy, fried or too spicy food slows down the digestive system, which affects metabolism and there is a risk of weight gain. Include protein, fiber and healthy fats in dinner, such as-
Lentils, vegetables, salad
Grilled chicken or paneer
Moong dal khichdi or oats
Drink herbal tea or hot water
Drinking green tea, celery water or turmeric milk before sleeping boosts metabolism and helps burn fat. Drinking chamomile tea or Tulsi tea also helps in getting good sleep. Keep in mind not to drink caffeinated things like tea or coffee, as it can disturb sleep.
Do stretching or yoga
Doing light stretching or yoga for 10-15 minutes before sleeping at night improves the blood circulation of the body and reduces stress. Some asanas that help in weight loss-
Vajrasana – Helps in digesting food
Bhujangasana – Helps in reducing belly fat
Pawanmuktasana – Removes gas and bloating
Keep away from mobile and screen
Watching mobile, laptop or TV before sleeping spoils the quality of sleep. Blue light affects the melatonin hormone, which can cause insomnia. If you do not get enough sleep, ghrelin (hunger-inducing hormone) increases in the body, which increases the risk of weight gain. Therefore, stay away from the screen 1 hour before sleeping and adopt habits like reading a book or meditating, so that you can sleep well at night.
