Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova spoke about the dangers of drinking kefir before bed.
In a conversation with the website aif.ru on Monday, May 1, the specialist explained that a glass of kefir at night can cause a violation of carbohydrate metabolism and a pre-diabetic state.
In kefir, according to the doctor, there is a high insulin index, and this leads to an increase in the production of a hormone that causes a sharp decrease in blood glucose levels, writes Pravda.Ru.
“Of course, your liver will begin to produce it intensively. This means that by morning you will wake up with an increased level of glucose, ”the Federal News Agency quotes Pavlova.
She added that regular consumption of kefir before bedtime can be fraught with the appearance of fasting glucose, and excess blood sugar provokes the development of diabetes.
On April 10, Zukhra Pavlova advised not to eat anything at all before going to bed and drink only water, the 360 TV channel notes.
On April 20, Roskachestvo discovered E. coli in several samples of kefir with a fat content of 3.2%. The department said that the bacteria of the E. coli group could get into the product as a result of a violation of sanitation in production, production technology or conditions for transporting, storing and selling the product, Moscow 24 notes.
In September last year, the therapist Olga Usatova said that kefir, in particular, refers to products that are similar in their action to sleeping pills. According to her, nuts, seafood, meat, legumes and kefir have a hypnotic effect due to tryptophan, which promotes the production of serotonin, which is responsible for vigor during the day, and melatonin, which regulates the quality of sleep, writes HSN.
