Experts want you to avoid having these nutritious foods for dinner; here's why
Consuming nutritious food is essential for good health. But there seems to be a catch: In an Instagram post, nutritionist Sakshi Lalwani emphasised that not just what you eat but when you eat matters too. She went on to list five nutritious foods one must skip at dinner to ensure smooth digestion through the night. For better digestion and sleep, early dinner, light, easily digestible meals are recommended at night, said Dr Bhavana P, chief dietitian, Gleneagles Hospitals, Lakdi Ka Pul, Hyderabad Spinach: It's hard-to-digest fibre and iron can cause bloating and discomfort if consumed at night, said Lalwani. 'Rich in oxalates, spinach may increase the risk of kidney stone formation if consumed excessively. Its high fibre content can slow digestion, potentially causing bloating or discomfort at night,' seconded Dr Bhavana. Fruits and fruit juices: While nutritious, their sugar content can lead to bloating and disturbed sleep. According to Dr Bhavana, fruits are high in natural sugars, which can spike blood sugar levels and disturb sleep patterns. She added that juices lack fibre, leading to quicker sugar absorption and a potential energy spike. Raw cucumber and beetroot: Cold foods like these can weaken your digestive fire (Agni) in the evening. 'High water content in these vegetables can lead to frequent urination, which can disturb sleep. Beetroot's natural sugars may also cause mild energy fluctuations,' said Dr Bhavana. A post shared by Sakshi Lalwani (@sakshilalwani_nutritionist) Sprouts: While high in fibre, eating them at night can lead to gas and stomach discomfort. Dr Bhavana noted that while healthy, raw sprouts can be more complex to digest for some people, causing gas or bloating, especially before bedtime. Curd: Its cooling effect may cause mucus build-up and slow digestion at night. Though beneficial during the day, Dr Bhavana said that curd's cooling properties might aggravate congestion or mucus production in susceptible individuals when consumed at night. 'However, low-fat curd is beneficial at night,' said Dr Bhavana. 'Remember, eating healthy is great, but timing is key,' said Lalwani. Dr Bhavana shared some generic rules to avoid digestive discomfort at night and feel rested Spicy foods: Spices can irritate the stomach lining and trigger acid reflux, causing discomfort and disrupting sleep. Caffeinated products: Coffee, tea, and chocolate contain caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system, delaying sleep onset. Sugary treats: Desserts and sugary snacks can spike blood sugar levels, leading to energy fluctuations that interfere with restful sleep. Fried or fatty foods: These are hard to digest, potentially causing bloating or indigestion, and can disrupt sleep quality. Citrus fruits: Highly acidic, citrus can cause heartburn when consumed close to bedtime, especially for individuals prone to acid reflux, said Dr Bhavana. Be mindful: Avoid eating large meals or drinking a lot of water. 'This can disturb good sleep,' said Dr Bhavana.

22 years on, woman acquitted in 52cr cheating case
Mumbai: In a 22-year-old case of cheating the public of Rs 51.7 crore by accepting deposits offering high returns, a special court acquitted a 61- -yea-old woman, saying it has not been established that she had accepted deposits or she had intention to deceive investors. The court acquitted Malad (west ) resident Bhavana Thakkar while the case against her husband Ajay Thakkar got abated. He died by suicide in Gujarat. Special Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors (MPID) Act judge Nikhil Mehta said that it could not be established that Bhavana was promoter, partner, director, manager responsible for the management of or conducting of the business or affairs of the financial establishment. "It could not be established that depositors entrusted any money with Bhavana to be utilised by financial firms to gain profit to be used in repaying deposits with interest to investors. The court said, "There is no material to show that Bhavana had promised any specified service against said deposit with an intention of causing wrongful gain for herself and to cause wrongful loss to depositors." Ajay along with his wife and other family members had formed a financial institution in 1998 and started accepting deposits from people with a promise of higher returns of 1% to 1.5% per month. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Este suplemento pode ser o que falta para seu bem-estar completo AlwaysFit Undo Bhavana Thakkar and her husband used to issue bills of exchange as acknowledgment of having accepted deposit and also issued post dated cheques consisting of interest sum on the deposit. The firm accepted the deposits in form of cash as well as in form of cheque and in return they gave a bill and also a postdated cheque as assurance. From March 2001 onward, the financial firm stopped giving interest to depositors on their invested money. The court said that there was no evidence to show that she was a promoter or responsible for the management of Ajay's business. "She never promised them higher returns which suggest that she never made false and wrongful representation with intention to deceive investors," the court said while acquitting her. One of the witnesses relied on bank entry to show that the cheque issued in the name of Bhavana was debited from his account. "Mere filing of bank statement would not be any of support to the case of prosecution unless there is proof of record to indicate that those statement are actually issued by witness bank," the court said. There was no intention on her part to deceive depositors, which got fortified from the statement of witnesses that she never approached them for deposit, the court said.
