While you can eat cabbage at night, it might not be the best choice for everyone.
Here's why:
- Cooling Effect: Cabbage is considered a "cooling" food, and consuming it before bed might disrupt your body's natural warming process as it prepares for sleep. This is referenced in the provided instruction ( "it's best to avoid these before bed due to their cooling effect on the body.").
- Potential Digestive Issues: Cabbage, like other cruciferous vegetables, can cause gas and bloating in some individuals. Lying down shortly after eating it could exacerbate these symptoms, leading to discomfort and disrupted sleep.
Therefore, if you are sensitive to these effects, it is recommended to avoid cabbage close to bedtime.
