1. Fasting Before Bed:
Stopping food intake after dinner improves digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, enhances autophagy (cell repair), supports weight loss, and lowers long-term disease risk.

2. Snacking Before Bed:
Certain people, like those prone to hypoglycemia, stress-related sleep issues, or low serotonin, may benefit from an easily digestible snack (e.g., fruit, light carbs, or small portions of protein/fat) before bed to calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality.

3. It’s About the Goal, Not the Rule:
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Instead of following dogma, ask, “What is my health goal right now?” Whether your focus is weight loss, deeper sleep, or healing, adjust your approach as your body changes over time.
