Can we eat anjeer at night, and what are its benefits or drawbacks? - #10595
I’ve been trying to include healthy snacks in my daily routine, and dried figs (anjeer) are one of my favorites. However, I’ve heard mixed opinions about when they should be consumed. Can we eat anjeer at night, and what are its benefits or drawbacks? From what I’ve read, anjeer is packed with fiber, natural sugars, and essential nutrients like calcium, potassium, and iron. Eating it at night is said to promote better digestion, prevent nighttime hunger pangs, and even improve sleep quality due to its magnesium content. But does consuming anjeer at night have any downsides, like causing bloating or indigestion? I’m also curious about portion sizes. How many dried figs should be eaten at night to get the benefits without overloading on calories or natural sugars? Would soaking the figs before eating make them easier to digest, or is it fine to eat them as they are? Another aspect I want to explore is their effect on energy levels. While anjeer is great for providing a quick boost, will eating it at night disrupt sleep due to its sugar content? Or does its fiber balance this effect? If anyone has experience incorporating anjeer into their nighttime diet, I’d love to know your thoughts. Did it help with digestion or energy, or did it cause any discomfort? Would you recommend eating it at night, or is it better suited for mornings or mid-day snacks?
