City (Lord Media): Eating ice cream at night, a popular choice during summer, may lead to morning fatigue and sluggishness, experts warn. Doctors state that consuming ice cream at night causes a sudden spike in blood sugar levels, increasing insulin production and subsequently dropping sugar levels, disrupting sleep cycles.
Experts explain that the sugar and fat in ice cream force the digestive system to work overnight, preventing the brain from resting. At night, cortisol is released instead of melatonin, interfering with sleep.
Health experts advise avoiding eating two to three hours before bedtime and steering clear of sweets. If hungry, opt for light protein snacks.
Daytime or evening is the best time for ice cream or sweets, as digestion is more efficient. Frequent nighttime sweet consumption may impair memory and lead to weight gain.
