5 nighttime mistakes that can affect your heart

5. Eating too late or too much

One of the most common mistakes is having a heavy meal shortly before going to bed.

After a large meal, the body directs a significant amount of blood to the digestive system to process food. This forces the heart to work harder.

During the day, the body can handle this effort. But when you lie down immediately after eating, digestion continues while the body is trying to rest.
