Butter for Better Sleep? Nutritionist Debunks Viral Social Media Trend

• A nutritionist debunks the viral social media trend of eating butter before bed for better sleep, stating no scientific proof.
• Butter is mostly saturated fat with few sleep-enhancing nutrients like protein, tryptophan, or magnesium.
• Low blood sugar can disrupt sleep, but fat alone isn't enough; stable blood sugar requires protein, fiber, and complex carbs.
• High-fat snacks before bed can be problematic for individuals with acid reflux, high cholesterol, or gallbladder issues.
• Healthier alternatives include yogurt with nuts, milk with oats, or whole-grain toast with peanut butter, eaten two hours before bed.
