Doctor's Warning: Avoid These Popular Evening Snacks After 6 PM for Better Health

• Gastroenterologist Dr. Paul advises avoiding specific snacks like Samosa, Jalebi, Panipuri, Vada Pav, Kachori, fried Momos, Namkeen, burgers, and Pav Bhaji after 6 PM.
• Regular evening consumption of these foods leads to excess calories, fat, and sugar, causing weight gain, gas, acidity, and affecting blood sugar.
• A 2021 American Diabetes Association study linked fried foods to Type 2 Diabetes and poor blood sugar control.
• Eating such foods in the evening harms gut health, reduces good bacteria, increases inflammation, and can decrease essential hunger/sugar control hormones.
• Opt for light, nutritious alternatives like steamed wheat momos, chana chaat, sprouts salad, oil-free paneer tikka, vegetable soup, or roasted makhana for better health.

Why It Matters: Avoid unhealthy evening snacks after 6 PM to prevent digestive issues, weight gain, and blood sugar problems.
