What is a healthy dinner?
A healthy dinner includes a variety of vegetables, fresh fruits, whole grains and a healthy protein. Avoid processed foods and sweetened beverages. Both are full of empty calories and lacking in nutrients.
Try to plan a smaller dinner
When it’s smaller but filled with nutrients, you will be less likely to overeat in the evening, something that most people tend to do.
A healthy dinner is good for your sleep
A healthy dinner sets us up for a good night’s sleep. Some foods can have a calming effect on your body and brain. Just make sure you finish eating 2 hours before going to bed.
