ESPThe return to standard time can disrupt circadian rhythms and throw off your internal clock according to experts. The one-hour time shift can cause you to eat meals at different times than you're used to, which can throw off your body's natural rhythm and make you feel hungry at odd times. Here’ s how you can adjust your meal timing to accommodate the time change:
• Eat meals at consistent times and avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime. • Focus on a balanced diet rich in whole foods and consider snacks like bananas or nuts to help regulate your sleep cycle.
• Stick to your routine: Eat meals at the same time, even if you feel hungry earlier due to the time change.
• Eat breakfast after waking. Have breakfast within an hour of waking up to help synchronize your body's internal clocks, especially with the sunrise.
• Avoid eating late: Finish your last meal and heavy snacks 2-3 hours before bed to avoid disrupting sleep.
