睡前绝对不能吃零食吗

When teens hit their growth spurt, they almost can't eat enough, says Dr. Hoerr. 'This is when you see an 11-year-old boy consuming more than the active man of the house,' she says. 'He should have extra snacks, like those suggested. The snack should be finished more than an hour before he goes to sleep.'
霍尔博士称，青少年在迅速长身体时几乎总是吃不够。她说：“在这个阶段你会发现11岁男孩的食量比家里的壮劳力还要大，他可以额外吃些零食，比如我们建议的那些零食，但他应该在睡前一小时以上就把它们吃完。”

Eat Early, Not Late
尽早进食 How can you kick a late-night eating habit? Try breakfast. 'If you don't eat too close to bedtime, by morning, your liver has fully processed the sugar and fat and protein and your appetite is stimulated,' she says. Many of Dr. Hoerr's overweight patients report to not eating anything until 3 p.m. and then they'll cram in thousands of calories by midnight. Invariably, their sleep quality is disrupted, and they put on more weight.
如何才能摆脱深夜吃东西的习惯？你可以尝试吃早餐。霍尔博士说：“如果你没在过于接近睡觉时间的时候吃东西，到了早晨你的肝脏就会完全处理掉糖分、脂肪和蛋白质，你的胃口会被调动起来。”她有许多超重病人都表示，他们在下午三点之前不吃任何东西，然后到了半夜大量摄入数千卡路里的热量。长此以往，他们的睡眠质量会遭到破坏，而且他们还会长胖。
