4. Finally, for your dinner, it is always preferred to have light food. Do not take heavy foods during the night. You can take khichdi which is also rich in nutrients and helps in having a good night’s sleep.
5. The above four points give you a brief of what foods you must take. Lastly, you should not forget to drink enough water. Water is essential for the efficient working of the human body system.
