π₯§ Avoid the Food Coma! The Best Time to Eat on Turkey Day π¦
Hey there, Thanksgiving lovers! π¦ Ever wondered if the time you chow down on your turkey and stuffing makes a difference? Well, it turns out it might! π½οΈ
Most of us dive into our Thanksgiving feast between 4 and 5 p.m., but experts suggest you might want to start a bit earlier. Why? Eating earlier gives your body more time to digest before bedtime, helping you avoid that dreaded food coma and gastric reflux. π΄
Marie-Pierre St-Onge from Columbia University says it's easier to manage your food intake if you eat a big meal earlier in the day. And while the time you eat is important, dietitian Kelley Bradshaw reminds us that what and how much you eat matters even more. So, whether you feast at noon or in the evening, keeping your portions in check is key to feeling great. π₯
So, this Thanksgiving, consider moving your meal up a bit and enjoy your day without the bloat! πβ¨
