Eat healthy snacks if you feel hungry
Many people have a habit of skipping dinner completely late to control their weight, but this sometimes causes blood sugar to drop at night. Experts recommend that if you feel hungry before bed, you can have a light snack with protein and fiber-rich foods such as low-sugar yogurt, nuts or low-sweetened fruits.
According to Erin Palinski-Wade - a nutritionist in the US, eating light snacks properly before bed can help stabilize blood sugar overnight. A balanced snack can help limit blood sugar drops or spikes during sleep.
Take a light walk after dinner
Light physical activity after dinner, such as walking for 10-15 minutes, can help the body use glucose more effectively. Light exercise helps improve insulin sensitivity, thereby supporting blood sugar control.
Experts say that the habit of exercising lightly in the evening also helps digestion better and limits post-eating hyperglycemia.
Relax and get enough sleep
Prolonged stress can increase the hormone cortisol, a factor that makes blood sugar easily rise. Therefore, before going to bed, you should spend time relaxing such as reading, deep breathing or limiting the use of electronic devices.
According to the American Diabetes Association, getting enough sleep and maintaining a stable sleep schedule is an important factor in helping the body regulate hormones and control blood sugar more effectively.
Experts emphasize that maintaining a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and reasonable living habits in the evening can play an important role in stabilizing blood sugar and protecting long-term health.
