Tips to Stop weight gain for Night Shift Workers
1. Drinking at least two liters of water a day helps in improving digestion. Lack of water intake results in thirst headaches and fatigue.
2. Plan the time you take your meals carefully. Eat lightly throughout the night shift and take a moderate breakfast to prevent hunger while sleeping and get uninterrupted sleep and digestive discomfort.
3. Avoid heavy meals after midnight because they make you feel drowsy.
4. Also avoid fatty, spicy and high fat foods during overnight for the same reason.
5. Always change shifts ahead and not backward. Rotate from mornings to afternoon to night and not in the reverse manner. It helps your body to cope up with the shift pattern.
