Our digestive system slows down during nighttime, meaning heavy, oily, and fried meals can sit in the stomach for longer, causing acidity and discomfort. Ryan Fernando recommends eating lighter during your shift, especially if eating late at night. Consume foods that are easy to digest: soups, poha, khichdi or grilled veggies. Incorporating lean protein in the diet, such as eggs, tofu, or lentils, can help keep the belly full and blood sugar levels stabilized. Avoid consuming spicy curries, deep-fried snacks, or fast food, as these can irritate our gut and disrupt our sleep.
